Finally! This place just isn't the same without pics of pigs shitting on their own balls.

[–] jonne 15 points 4 months ago

I tried to get AI to generate it for me but it's just not the same.

[–] gens@programming.dev 51 points 4 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] gigachad@sh.itjust.works 13 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Somehow I can't block it using Voyager, the only instance appearing is test.hexbear.net. Any idea why?

SJW? Social Justice Warrior? Is that an instance?

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 28 points 4 months ago (1 children)

@sh.itjust.works

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Really? Last time they federated with us they're the ones who ended up defederating and I thought that was the end of it

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.

Don't have a problem with what instance you're on as long as you're respectful I'll be respectful back

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 48 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I totally agree. But that instance is slightly notorious for brigading threads.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 16 points 4 months ago

They got like 6 people in here doing just that.

Oh, my sweet summer child.

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 39 points 4 months ago (3 children)

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:

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 31 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I get what you're saying, but this is mostly a joke.

There is some cool people there.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 17 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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.

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.

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.

Me; new here thinking "hexbear" is the furry server.... Oh...

Well I was half right

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 34 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (7 children)

LPT - you don't have to give any fucks about who or what "hexbear.net" is, instead you can have a life.

Never noticed they were gone. Just checked and my instance defederated from them. All is good in the world.

[–] InvertedParallax@lemm.ee 15 points 4 months ago

Seriously.

Feels good man.

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 17 points 4 months ago (13 children)

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.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 15 points 4 months ago (3 children)

You know that blocking an instance does not block users from that instance?

I'm fine with hex, for the most part. This is a joke, in the jokes about the fediverse community.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago

If you block an instance, you can't spend the next sixty posts complaining about the replies.

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.

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 12 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Unfortuantely, blocking an instance only blocks posts and communities from it. You will still get comments.

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 12 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That's fucking lame as shit, I really appreciated when lemm.ee had them blocked.

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 9 points 4 months ago (6 children)

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.

[–] Pandantic@midwest.social 7 points 4 months ago

I don’t believe they did, but Hexbear was complete defederated for a while when they were having their domain name issue.

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?

I would love to get some context on this.

[–] shani66@ani.social 18 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (13 children)

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.

tankies and 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.
