They are like wasps. If you agitate one, you'll get mobbed by countless others. I tried to reason with one yesterday and I'm still getting notifications from random hexbear users coming at me.
It's sad but kind of funny, but mostly annoying.
I had the displeasure of interacting with someone before I knew what that instance was. Someone posted that anyone who supported any democratic candidate in the US should be hit by a truck, and that they wanted to do physical harm to them. I reported it, and the mod who got the report posted my name publically in the thread and proceeded to paste some manifesto on how cops brutalized homeless people and trans people, so therefore if someone votes for a democratic senator it is justifiable to physically harm or kill that person.
I have blocked every community on the instance. It was helpful being brought up by the mod, cause I clicked on their profile and they modded 15 or so communities on their instance, so I was able to click directly on those communties and block, then click on the next one etc.
Sounds about right. Those people are fucking crazy.
Yeah they're shitty, fucked up 'people'
Sounds about right
I kicked the nest and my instance defederated hexbear soon after. Problem solved!
Well it probably wasn't me that caused the defederation, but I like to pretend.
Maybe because you're chalk full of boomer takes
Just go back to reddit? Complaining about the much larger group that got here years before you is pretty dense.
boneappleteeth my guy, also idc how long a tanky has been here, their opinions are useless and I don't have any desire to hear from them
eta: in case he fixes it, "chalk full of"
It's just such a stupid take idk. You're lost.
Sorry for not including the hyphen you dork
WHAT HYPHEN??? its chock full you goof
chalk-full: Confuses chock-full with chalk it up to. Chock-full is an old phrase, perhaps coming from choke-full or full to choking. Chalk it up to comes from chalk tally marks on a slate. Chock marks indicate where to put wooden chocks (or wedges) and may be confused with chalk marks.
you just replied with something describing that you used a incorrect phrasing, it's chock full, not chalk full. Kinda like how it's taken for granted and not taken for granite
Oh I'm sorry I didn't realize this seat was taken
The age and size of an instance is completely irrelevant compared to the behaviour of its users when it comes to this particular subject.
You can't reason with people who are mentally ill.
