100% they're just complete shitheads who can't bother to form coherent arguments or debate. They just harass and pile on. They gotta own the libs. Can't be bothered to find common ground or make discussion. It's insanely toxic. Tanky version of trumpers is just the most accurate way to describe them.

I wouldn't know coming from a sub that deferated them. So peaceful.

I compared them to 4chan and got so many russeled jimmies.... It's so weird how the extreme toxic incels on either extreme side of the political spectrum are basically the same ethos.

Ehhh, the fact that it comes up so often is an indicator that there's something wrong.

The issues that cause people to make these posts (if you look at the content of the posts and assume they're made in good faith) are consistently about the behavior of the people from hexbear.

Since the instance literally has discussions about disrupting other instances communities, I don't think it's at all strange to see a ton of calls for defederation.

There's what, three apps that let you filter instances? Considering that solution is very limited (and doesn't actually prevent the disruption intended by the bad actors that use hexbear), trying to say that the "real" solution is to uproot yourself, migrate via the migration tools, and hope that's the end of it isn't useful.

Calls for defederation are part of lemmy. It just is the ultimate solution to an instance being a problem. The fact that it's currently the only instance wide way to prevent disruption from another instance just reinforces the reason the ability is there in the first place.

Per user defederation will be wonderful once it arrives, but it's only useful when the instance you're on chooses not to defederate from a disruptive instance and you can't/won't move away.

As boring as it is to see defederation calls, they aren't going away.

From that pull request:

"My PR only hides communities from that instance, but not users."

So no, it's not defederation on a per-user basis.

Yes, they love to talk about how their governments failing are the fault of everyone else, and if you have anything even slightly judgemental to say about their bullshit they scream at you about propaganda and how skinny/limp their dicks are (idk about the last part, I zoned out last time I saw one of them having a fit).

TIL of sealioning.

Your instance (lemmy.world) has already defederated from them, so you cannot see anything from them. The instance this post is on, lemmy.one, is federated and their users can see posts and comments from them.

It’s awesome and vindicating seeing you guys cry and bitch about having to experience someone with a different opinion then yours and who doesn’t agree with you.

This exact sentence, where you're a gloating asshole who actively gets off to frustrating people who might just be misinformed, is exactly why nobody likes hexbear users.

It's not about receiving honest feedback or different opinions. It's not even about censorship.

It's about blocking people who make comments like yours. It's not that we can't handle it, it's just that there still are quite a few people who don't like to turn every conversation into a dick-swinging contest. You are more of a general annoyance than anything else.

Obviously you are happy about being a jackass. Totally cool! I ignore people like you everyday since they usually have nothing of value to contribute anyway. All talk, no substance.

Just look at your account. You thrive on that particular persona. It's weird to me, but that is OK!

Deranged comment
