I get what you're saying, but this is mostly a joke.
There is some cool people there.
When Hexbear sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending other cool people. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing flamewars. They’re bringing spam. They’re brigaders. And some, I assume, are good people.
There is instances which block them.
It's a reference to one of the taglines that appears when using hexbear.net. Visit the link, then look at the top (may not work on mobile apps). Refresh, and you'll get a different blurb.
And here I thought it was a reference to a Trump speech
Ohh, I had seen those before.
Yep! My favorite is the one that has a hypothetical future Soviet America, written as a POV, and someone gets home from work and a random Hexbear user calls them a revisionist, lmao
If it's a joke, that's all good. It's just that some other people don't make jokes, they try to hide instance beefing messages in some memes, and that usually just brings negativity in the comments.
There are a few users that come to mind with that, haha. Seems drama baiting is all they do, whether it be by making anti-Marxist memes to draw on drama, or by constantly reposting everything that gets posted on Lemmy.ml on other comms.
Seriously, 90% of it would probably die down if those accounts stopped. Especially ironic is that seemingly the most anti-Hexbear people are the least capable of describing their overall political views, which IMO explains the counter-productive behavior.
Agreed. You're free to not like the way an instance or community is run, just contribute to others.
You're right, I dislike people who deliberately put instance beefing memes onto ml and grad just to annoy them, its like poking a hornets nest.
I know, won't someone think of the poor tankies? Tankies are the most oppressed demographic on Lemmy. Not like those privileged trans people with their own whole instance
I get your point, but at the same time, I feel its just better to leave them by themselves.
Also, I dislike the tankies there, but there is other cool people on the instance.
