I think a little clarification is needed. No. I don’t actually think everyone there is insane. I don’t care about the bans so stop trying to use that. HB enthusiasts coming here and trying to call me out achieves nothing besides proving my point

Edit: Feel free to keep trying to brigade me. It’s not going to scare me to take this down

    Thank god for hexbear and lemmygrad though. Imagine the effort needed to block them all individually if spread over all the other instances.

      Yeah, it’s actually helpful to have safe spaces for hateful assholes so they can be corralled away.

        On the other hand, an isolated community can also become a nasty brewing pot, reinforcing harmful behaviors and even intensifying them over time.

        I don’t think calling them safe spaces for hateful assholes is accurate, but I understand frustrations with them.

      Before instance blocking was a thing I blocked individual trolls wheb I saw them and after about the fifth block I didn’t see a lot of hexbear, so it they have a few very loud individuals but instance blocking hexbear really made my browsing a lot more chill
