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.
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.
Really? Last time they federated with us they’re the ones who ended up defederating and I thought that was the end of it
They’re mutally defederating.
That explains why so many hexbear defenders in SJW comms are on different instances (usually .ml). They literally can’t see those comms from their hexbear accounts.
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.
Shh… It just works.
@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?Check the blocked tab. Also, when servers defed, old posts and comms stay behind.
I’m actually getting pissed, I have hexbear.net and test.hexbear.net both instance blocked in Voyager but can still see these cretins comments. I could tag them all but that would take forever.
Edit: Fuck it, just blocking them when I see them.
I mean why do they make you that mad they’re usually pretty cool
If you find their behavior cool… Cool is defined by society, usually.
Most do not find their behavior remotely cool. They’re absolute hypocritical dissent censoring liars, as a majority.
What is cool to you?
They’re anti-capitalist and militantly pro LGBTQ+. What’s not to like?
Open support of dictatorships, for starters.
They’re not honest about their political policies in the slightest.
Lying about everything and censorship of dissent. This really is the icing.
If their ideologies are pure and right, why do they need to silence conversation with imaginary pretenses?
You’re misrepresenting the actuality of the environment you’re promoting…
Few may be decent, though the experience of most non trolling has been, the instance is overrun and managed by a lot of narcissistic, hypercritical, and toxic individuals.
they’re usually pretty cool
oh boy how i love having the entire discussion thread be derailed by a bunch of angry hexbears spamming stickers
If you want to sit at the table with Nazis, that’s up to you, I have no room for them.
Nazis???
In what universe are these people Nazis???
Your account is almost 2 years old so you’re either on an instance that hasn’t shown you their shit, you’re ignorant to the real world and how this has been playing out time and time again, or you’re intentionally pretending to not see them for what they are.
No, my instance has always federated with them and I have not had any problems with Hexbear. They can be loud and boisterous when prompted but as far as Nazi-ism? They are leftists I’m truly confused at what you’re on about. Could you be any more specific?
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.
They got like 6 people in here doing just that.

Oh, my sweet summer child.
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.
When Hexbear sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending other cool people. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing flamewars. They’re bringing spam. They’re brigaders. And some, I assume, are good people.
There is instances which block them.
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.
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.
If I join lemmy.ca and my country invades them will they kick my red blooded american ass out
We’re against genocide so we’ll spare you when the time happens.
it won’t work, they defederated us and I still see their cancer here.
LPT - you don’t have to give any fucks about who or what “hexbear.net” is, instead you can have a life.
If I don’t want to have a life, can someone explain this to me? What is hexbear, and what happened?
Google can probably help you if you really think it’s worth looking up.
It would be better if they were completely defederated.
The tankies need to find another space to fester.
“Well alright, the ni**ers and the chinks can stay, but we don’t want the Irish!” - Blazing Saddles
What does this mean? Genuinely asking.
They’re falsely equating ideology to ethnicity.
It’s a quote from the movie Blazing Saddles mocking bigotry, in this case to say “Suppression is bad unless WE do it” is s hypocritical and wrong approach - and in fact it’s the exact mentality of people who currently want to suppress gay, trans, etc. which to them are as “obviously evil” as nazis.
Yeah, people i disagree with really need to get out!
Some ideologies deserve to be ended
It’s about time they showed up, during trans day of visibility no less 😌
Me; new here thinking “hexbear” is the furry server… Oh…
Well I was half right
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.
You know that you can block instances yourself? Like you don’t have to be forced to see their stuff. I think some of y’all enjoy whinging about shit for the sake of it.
You know that blocking an instance does not block users from that instance?
But it blocks all posts that are posted to communities on on that instance, so it guts 90% of the shit you don’t want to see. Just block users when they piss you off.
The constant posting of hatred towards other instances is just as if not more annoying to me than the dumb shit hexbear comes out with.
But it doesn’t block votes, so their users will still influence your feed.
It’s not that I don’t want to see them, it’s just I don’t want to waste my time replying to anything when anything other than “DAE hate westoids?” gets deleted right away.
I’m fine with hex, for the most part. This is a joke, in the jokes about the fediverse community.
If you block an instance, you can’t spend the next sixty posts complaining about the replies.
Blocks don’t hide your posts from them or prevent them from responding to your comments.
And?
Seeing “there is no record of this comment” in a chain brings me sexual pleasure.
Die in your hole, person I disagree with!
Plus you still get to see the replies to the comment, usually them being dunked on by other Lemmings.
Let me try that. Quick, reply to me now.
Hey, it works!

Blocking instances only blocks posts from them, not comments.
You should check piefed (piefed.social , join.piefed.social) it has support for lemmy and proper instance blocking.
deleted by creator
Whats interesting about piefed is that everything is prerendered - it doesn’t use an api, unlike lemmy. Of course, an api is in the works, and the dev of thunder made a PoC.

I use the Alexandrite version of lemmy.world (https://a.lemmy.world/) and in that you have a hamburger menu at the end of the persons comment, one of the options is block.
I think you can block an instance in your user Settings - Block - Instances.
If you’re using a phone app, it’s going to vary depending on the app.
Voyager has it in the filters section down the bottom of the page.
I immediately went into my Voyager settings to block the entire instance the moment I saw one of their comments. Not making the same mistake twice.
Unfortuantely, blocking an instance only blocks posts and communities from it. You will still get comments.
That’s fucking lame as shit, I really appreciated when lemm.ee had them blocked.
When did we have them blocked? there was a brief period there where their domain expired, and they had to stay offline to fix it.
I don’t believe they did, but Hexbear was complete defederated for a while when they were having their domain name issue.
I’m aware of that, but there’s some puzzle piece missing between Lemm.ee, Voyager and whatever else, because I didn’t see any of them for more than a year.
You were probably just lucky.

I’m not being shut out by Nazis, I’ll block them all if that’s what it takes, this is my fucking account, I’m not giving it to because of them.

Must be a sad life to ignore the only serious left posters in the anglosphere, have fun getting banned for saying we need more luigis.
Authoritarianism is the antithesis of leftism. Hexbear sure loves authoritarians despite being “serious leftists”.
Show me one example of this fabled love for authoritarianism I’m always hearing about.
Take a gander through MeanwhileOnGrad. All sorts of authoritarian bootlicking documented right there for anyone to see.
Cherry-picked posts from an instance that isn’t even the one I’m talking about is supposed to be evidence of a general attitude?
Sorry you can’t be bothered to look at the evidence that’s clearly available right in front of you from a community meant to document this sort of behaviour. Where that evidence is is irrelevant, the behaviour itself is on full display for you to see.
It’s not in front of me, it’s about a different instance than I was talking about, and I am on hexbear every day, I don’t need an outsider’s fake summary.

Capitalism is the antithesis of leftism. Oppressing the bigots and capitalists is the essence of leftism.
Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Authoritarianism is not acceptable regardless of what your ideology is, and goes against everything actual leftists stand for. People like you are no better than the capitalists and fascists you claim to be against.
Funny you would say that, because by calling for the left to neuter its ability to liberate the working class, you’re no better than the capitalists and fascists you don’t even claim to be against.
The actual leftists will not sit down and let the bourgeoisie continue to oppress people just because it’s “authoritarian” to stop them. I really wonder what you think the left is. If you want a hint, it’s not Hillary Clinton.

?? Most hexbears would literally throw a party if Trump was annihilated
No, they really would not, but I understand it’s part of the agenda to make that seemingly unclear.
I can show you the posts of the celebrations when he got covid. His death would bring sweet catharsis for all of us. I am baffled that anyone could think otherwise.
I would love to get some context on this.
You know how there is a subset of leftists that just make everything worse? Up their own ass, stupid standards/priorities, generally annoying? That’s the general opinion of hexbear. I haven’t really interacted with the instance much, but that’s what i gather from the rumors and the occasional wild hexbear comment, but i might just be primed to notice the bad comments because of the reputation. maybe a bit of a dirtier/less stringently controlled beehaw.
Edit: although as lemmy grows chuds will bitch about them just for not being right wing.
You’re obviously a CIA agent, liberal. Just because Hexbear supports AES states like Putin’s Russia, you have the audacity to attack us. Where’s the left unity, buttmuncher?

4chan is what gave us QAnon.
What in the world makes you think 4chan is something to emulate.
deleted by creator
So fuck minorities am I rite?
Anon forums are where hate groups flourish. Always have been.
It’s why the rest of the internet is moderated in the first place.
deleted by creator
So fuck others then amirite?
You don’t have to be a tankie to hate Putin. But you still should hate other hate groups.
Again, grain of salt as i don’t really have first have experience, but no. Hell no. Not even judging what you’re into, the rumors of hexbear make it seem like the kinda place where the mods are petty tyrants.

Start here.
tankiesand the leftists without the ability to have critical thought AND/OR nuanced conversation.I’m sure some of them are nice people, but they aren’t sending their best.
deleted by creator
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?
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.
deleted by creator
not interested in that.
