        Hexbear activity seems to have dropped significantly since no one wants to be federated with them. Most of the users now lurk in other instances.

          Huh? I haven’t seen that at all. They existed for years before there were all these instances, they weren’t even federated. They’d survive just as well on their own even if every instance blocked them.

            The point I was making was less about activity within hexbear, more about their activity in other instances. In the instances they’re still federated with, I see fewer hexbear comments but instead comments from lemmy.ml and some others that sound like hexbear users.

            Do you guys ever even hear yourselves? It’s almost impossible to mock you because it would be indistinguishable from the actual nonsense you come up with.

            Stick to the echo chamber.

            I seem to notice a lot of discussions about Hexbear. Since my instance preemptively defederated from you, I have some questions. What is the objective/goal of Hexbear? Currently, I kinda feel old 4chan trolling vibes.

            Lol my instance has never been defederated from hexbear, which is, I’m guessing, why you signed up for lemm.ee also. I was mainly referring to hexbear activity outside of their own instance - even in instances that hexbear is still federated with, I see fewer hexbear comments than before they were defederated by world and SJW. Instead, I see new users from instances still federated with hexbear (eg lemmy.ml) talking like hexbear users.

            More than anything, the thing that annoys me most about hexbear is the double standards. They claim to be open for discussion, but the majority of users are not, they behave childishly. The moderators are often far worse. Many posts openly encourage brigading, rather than just discussing an image of someone’s comment they want to criticise, they keep the username in and sometimes even include direct links.

            Lemm.ee is a lovely place run by a top admin who really knows his stuff (he introduces new features early but also only when they work, and he was key in helping with some of the major issues that affected other intances, even though his instance was immune to begin with). I’m a little wary of hexbear infiltration but accept it, because that’s what having an open and widely federated instance is all about.

          I haven’t heard of the lemmy.world admins doing much besides defederating from a few instances. Why do you feel that way about them?

            He just admitted it is personal in his reply below. None of the things he mentions here are factual. We are in good contact with the admins on most if not all instances. Even some of those we defederated with.

            I have my reasons.

            And they are worse than reddit mods with their behavior. They usually use dummy accounts.

            Just look into the modlog for a while.

            Also they are antisemitic and have no fucking knowledge about how lemmy works, thinking they can IP ban users from other instances and similar things like harassing other instance admins and users with several accounts.

            I have a personal problem with these assholes.

              We are antisematic? We harass other instance admins? IP bans don’t even make sense on Lemmy due to federation and you can not get the IP of posters on another instance.

              You are so full of it. We are in good contact with most if not all instances and their admins.

              The only truthful thing you said is that it is personal.

              I permabanned your account on Lemmy World so you don’t have to get triggered anymore by the ‘shit admins’.

              Edit: this account is an alt of CookieJarObserver. Moderator over at Loli/pedo instance burggit.moe which is why he didn’t want to give me his main account when asked.

          the admins defedded from hex without letting their users having their own choice. I mean can’t they refederate now and let users just block instances they choose? Hexbear gives that choice. People defederate from them, not the other way around.

            Defederating hexbear is likely a legal thing as they spread antisemitism to a extent that its illegal in most countries.

              I have only seen hexbear explicitly condemn anti semitism and do not consider jewishness to be any factor in the current conflict

              their position is that zionism is a far right ideology created by fascists to justify the construction of a colonial state, not for any true need of jews. Zionism is not Jewish, it is using jews to perpetuate settler colonialism.

                And thats obviously wrong. There are a fuck load of hexbears being very clear about their wish for Israels destruction…

                  Israel is a settler colonial state, wouldn’t matter if they were jewish or german or fuckin italians, that is wrong

                  or are you against anti-colonialism? If you don’t support anti-colonialism, you aren’t left. that simple

                    Hamas is an israeli creation to justify extermination. If youre supporting hamas, youre supporting israels completely see through excuse for genocide.

                    You arent anti colonialism, youre pro knee jerk. Any stance thats asking for more death is pro israel, and that makes you just as supportive of them as any christian reactionary.

                I have no problem with Tankie takes on Israel. They see this side clearly. My problem is when your favorite youtubers and twitter lefties are saying “Hamas is good actually, and Israeli Settlers deserve it” like for fucks sake. Tankies call for violence more than they call for leftist solutions.
