I’m not sure what’s going on over there, but half the time I see a post from there or go into a comment section and it’s just…bad. Like old reddit the_donald bad. Constant trolling, etc. You TS just really bad vibes. I’ve been blocking the communities as they come up, but I’m not sure what else I can do.

Hexbear has the highest proportion of people with neopronouns in their names that I've seen on the entire fediverse, and for that reason alone I would prefer that they stay federated.

But the brigading, harassment, disinformation campaigns, bad faith arguments, and excessive emoji spam aren't a problem? Those reasons alone are why they need to be defedded. My instance did so yesterday and the site has been all the better for it.

Why are you commenting on this thread when you're not a member of the server?

Lol try that on the hexbear folks

Because I know how much of a problem Hexbear is. They're harmful to every community they flood into with their trolling, brigading and harassment of anyone who disagrees with them. I don't care if this isn't my home instance, I want to spread awareness of this problem so that users here can participate in peace without being bothered by Hexbear's abhorrent behaviour.
