Suddenly seeing more hexbear posts. Did we re-federate with them? - sh.itjust.works

If so, was it polled somewhere?

Hexbear is inevitable

I see a small corner of the lemmyverse...

I see your instance...
...alone...

And a lot of defederations...

Jesus that's a lot of defederations...

They're just misunderstood. Uh, yeah, misunderstood. That's it.

I think this is just a matter of imageboard culture that just can’t / won’t mesh with general internet civility.

Leave Hexbear users to their spaces. My hands are washed.

general internet civility

I honestly do not know what this looks like

Either everyone calling each other hard r n-bombs, or everyone walking on pins and needles making sure that they don't say something against the will of the zeitgeist.

Leave Hexbear users to their spaces.

Normally I'd be inclined to agree, but the problem is they don't stay in those spaces; they regularly invade other instances en masse, harass its community members and pollute it with pro-Russia & China propaganda and genocide denial, then feign innocence and use their high percentage of LGBTQ+ users as a shield. It's really fucked up, and it's happening in all the major instances in the 'verse. I mean, you're right, they're not gonna mesh and aren't meshing well with other instances, but that's solely because they go to other instances and deliberately start shit.
