    There’s a bunch of “shit x says” types of communities on different Lemmy instances, including grad/hex/exploding. Do they want to get rid of all of them?

    I don’t like the attitude of name&shame or bullying, especially behind someone’s internet back which all of these have in common. At least this community has some comments which don’t do that.

      All of those/these kinds of communities, regardless of their target, do have that ban evasion vibe. Like an unrequited romance, some unresolved argument that ended in a ban. I find a lot of these posts to be typically weird at best or just a personal vendetta, also weird.

      They can’t go back in and tell Sheila what they really think but they can yell at everyone outside in the parking lot about it.

      Sometimes it’s funny. Sometimes it can be funny.

        They are pretty weird, yeah. My account is often hit by botwaves.

          I’ve actually upvoted a few good comments on other instances from accounts created there. Too bad the majority seem to be spammers

            Me too actually. I haven’t explored their communities though.
