I just blocked the whole instance as soon as the option was implemented. There were few good posts/comunities from it, but overall better to block it whole.
Somehow I can't block it using Voyager, the only instance appearing is
test.hexbear.net. Any idea why?SJW blocks them already.
SJW? Social Justice Warrior? Is that an instance?
sh.itjust.works shit just works
That should be SIW...
It's "Shit Just Works"
It is Sh.Itjust.Works and the joke has now been improved by an explanation.
Shh... It just works.
@sh.itjust.works
Really? Last time they federated with us they're the ones who ended up defederating and I thought that was the end of it
They're mutally defederating.
That explains why so many hexbear defenders in SJW comms are on different instances (usually .ml). They literally can't see those comms from their hexbear accounts.
I can access hexbear communities, at https://sh.itjust.works/instances only
test.hexbear.netis listed which leads to 502 anyway. Am I doing something wrong?Probably an issue on sh.itjust.works's end, though Hex blocks it so they won't see anything on your end even if you do get in.
If you want to see what it's about, just visit hexbear.net directly.
It makes sense, all the posts I find from hexbear are a couple of months old. It is a bit annoying, because when I hit explore in Voyager and sort by size, thalf of the communities are from hexbear.. Maybe @[email protected] has an idea why it behaves like this?
Hexbear used to be federated with sh.itjust.works. if you defederate, the old posts still continue to exist, hence the communities also still continuing to show.
I tried removing a bunch of the old hexbear communities. Did that help at all?
Also sorting communities by total subscribers is a bad system. It's more useful to sort by monthly active users imo.
You can use lemmyverse to sort by active users.
https://lemmyverse.net/communities?order=active_month
Check the blocked tab. Also, when servers defed, old posts and comms stay behind.
I'm actually getting pissed, I have hexbear.net and test.hexbear.net both instance blocked in Voyager but can still see these cretins comments. I could tag them all but that would take forever.
Edit: Fuck it, just blocking them when I see them.
Instance blocking blocks the comms, not the users. You will have to block every user you see if you're reflexively anti-Hexbear, or move to an instance defederated from them entirely.
That's so fucking lame. I didn't know how good I had it this whole time. But I am absolutely petty enough to block every user from there.
I believe you.
I'd recommend you go to an instance that blocks hex, like lemmy.ca or sopuli.xyz.
I'm not giving up my account because of Nazis. I'll block every one of them if I have to.
I mean why do they make you that mad they're usually pretty cool
If you find their behavior cool... Cool is defined by society, usually.
Most do not find their behavior remotely cool. They're absolute hypocritical dissent censoring liars, as a majority.
What is cool to you?
They're anti-capitalist and militantly pro LGBTQ+. What's not to like?
Open support of dictatorships, for starters.
They're not honest about their political policies in the slightest.
Lying about everything and censorship of dissent. This really is the icing.
If their ideologies are pure and right, why do they need to silence conversation with imaginary pretenses?
You’re misrepresenting the actuality of the environment you’re promoting…
Few may be decent, though the experience of most non trolling has been, the instance is overrun and managed by a lot of narcissistic, hypercritical, and toxic individuals.
oh boy how i love having the entire discussion thread be derailed by a bunch of angry hexbears spamming stickers
If you want to sit at the table with Nazis, that's up to you, I have no room for them.
Equating Communists to Nazis is a form of Nazi apologia. I suggest you read Blackshirts and Reds.
Nazis????
In what universe are these people Nazis???
Your account is almost 2 years old so you're either on an instance that hasn't shown you their shit, you're ignorant to the real world and how this has been playing out time and time again, or you're intentionally pretending to not see them for what they are.
Communists are far-left, Nazis are far-right. These are diametrically opposed, and are why the Soviets were the most effective anti-Nazi force in World War II, responsible for 90% of Nazi deaths. The Nazis are the most effective anticommunists, that's why they targeted German Communists first, in both the famous "first they came for" poem and in real life.
Hexbear are Communists, full-stop.
No, my instance has always federated with them and I have not had any problems with Hexbear. They can be loud and boisterous when prompted but as far as Nazi-ism? They are leftists I'm truly confused at what you're on about. Could you be any more specific?
The only problem I have with them is the fans of authoritarian leftism (which isn't the majority, from what I can see), and how they kinda consume the comments of some posts.
They are cool a lot of the time.
