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.

    We do a little belligerence.

    It’ll mostly blow over once we’ve familiarized properly with the federated experience, sometimes I’ll find myself outside local without realizing. also yeah toning down the emotes on other’s instances I fully get, that sounds unfortunately disruptive

        that’s reserved for people who’ve shown themselves to be chuds, if it’s even remotely possible to have a discussion we’ll opt for that first

          That’s fine but outside of hexbear people don’t know that and it’s also just gross and annoying

        It may hearten you to know that internally we are having this discussion as well and I think it’s likely to get much less frequent. This time next year you’ll know if you see that image that a nazi is getting dunked on by your friendly neighborhood hexbear
