edit: muting this thread, goodbye.
Finally! This place just isn’t the same without pics of pigs shitting on their own balls.
I tried to get AI to generate it for me but it’s just not the same.
It’s about time they showed up, during trans day of visibility no less 😌
Move to an instance that defederates then, and move on? I’m not the biggest fan by any mean, but this kind of posts is just calling for some instance slapstick fights in the comments
For a list:
- https://lemmy.ca/ for a North American instance
- https://sopuli.xyz/ for a European one
I get what you’re saying, but this is mostly a joke.
There is some cool people there.
If it’s a joke, that’s all good. It’s just that some other people don’t make jokes, they try to hide instance beefing messages in some memes, and that usually just brings negativity in the comments.
There are a few users that come to mind with that, haha. Seems drama baiting is all they do, whether it be by making anti-Marxist memes to draw on drama, or by constantly reposting everything that gets posted on Lemmy.ml on other comms.
Seriously, 90% of it would probably die down if those accounts stopped. Especially ironic is that seemingly the most anti-Hexbear people are the least capable of describing their overall political views, which IMO explains the counter-productive behavior.
Agreed. You’re free to not like the way an instance or community is run, just contribute to others.
You’re right, I dislike people who deliberately put instance beefing memes onto ml and grad just to annoy them, its like poking a hornets nest.
I know, won’t someone think of the poor tankies? Tankies are the most oppressed demographic on Lemmy. Not like those privileged trans people with their own whole instance
I get your point, but at the same time, I feel its just better to leave them by themselves.
Also, I dislike the tankies there, but there is other cool people on the instance.
it won’t work, they defederated us and I still see their cancer here.
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.
@sh.itjust.works
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 @TheDude@sh.itjust.works 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.
Check the blocked tab. Also, when servers defed, old posts and comms stay behind.
Do be aware of the limitations of user blocking though.
Don’t have a problem with what instance you’re on as long as you’re respectful I’ll be respectful back
I totally agree. But that instance is slightly notorious for brigading threads.

Oh, my sweet summer child.
Me; new here thinking “hexbear” is the furry server… Oh…
Well I was half right
However will lemmy deal with dissenting or socialist comments? Oh bless my pure centrist heart!
Never noticed they were gone. Just checked and my instance defederated from them. All is good in the world.
Seriously.
Feels good man.
I’m glad my feed has been pretty drab with them gone
Same, but I can’t seem to get Voyager to actually do instance blocking. It has the option, but it seems to not work.
welcome back, glorious pigposters
Lol at the 4 losers who downvoted every comment somebody from hexbear made. Just block the instance if you’re this mad.
Blocking the instance does not block comments from that instance, only posts.
They should block the users as they see them then, not like there’s actually that many.
Pretty much all my experiences with that instance and similar ones have been disgusting.
Pushing people who post burning flags of a country and posts about it to be fully wiped out are accepted… Criticism regarding this gets your comment remove and a ban from the community.
I don’t need that again. Where can I block this pseudo-left pro-authoritarian instance in Voyager?
You’re talking about Hexbear being pro-Palestinian and anti-Zionist as though they are anti-semetic and wish extermination on Jewish people. No, that’s not how Hexbear is, Hexbear is neither genocidal nor anti-semetic.
You might be talking about something else, but burning a flag of say, the US, does not mean Hexbear wants to slaughter everyone in the US. It means Hexbear stands against the US State and its ruling class, same with Israel and its genocidal ruling class.
Anti-Zionism, anti-fascism, and being pro-Palestine are all 3 Leftist stances.
Anyway, to block a community, you can do it in your settings. You will still see comments from users, just not comms.
You’re talking about Hexbear being pro-Palestinian and anti-Zionist as though they are anti-semetic and wish extermination on Jewish people.
No, I’m talking about people from there literally suggesting to wipe out Israel… That very innovative idea hasn’t worked for the last 80 years and won’t in the next 80 years. That’s as intelligent as suggesting to wipe out the other side. I am not interested in that kind of content.
Nobody suggests that. People want the dissolution of the Israeli state, this does not mean genocide of all Israelis, and conflating the two is a tool Zionists use in order to pretend Pro-Palestinian protestors are anti-semetic genocidal monsters.
lol, yeah, let’s act like it did not happen. I’d try to find it and post you a link, but my comment was removed by the very brave moderators who did not do anything against the extremism and made sure that there was no criticism.
The word was “destruction” and that was described as “based”.
Destruction of the State apparatus of Israel would indeed be based, as Israelis and Palestinians could live in a single, secular, democratic Palestine.
Oh no not your precious nationalism.
not interested in that.
Well, I can totally get what you’re talking about, but instance blocking on lemmy only blocks communities and posts from a specific instance.
I’d recommend you check out an instance which defederates from hex. Like lemmy.ca, sh.itjust.works and sopuli.xyz.Thanks for the explanation.
Settings -> Filters & Blocks -> Scroll to the bottom to find “Blocked Instances”.
You’ll still see their comments though on other instances.
