If so, was it polled somewhere?

      Just mention them once, sixty or so will be by promptly to “help” you “understand.”

      …Then the rest drop by to see how much of a mess they can make of the relatively calm and sensible clusterfuck already present, because every question or comment absolutely must be met with a raucous cacophony of condescending crap.

              Depending on how you browse Lemmy, you have to look at the user’s profile to see the instance they come from and yes there’s a whole bunch of hexbear users in this discussion. Although most are easy to spot since they have their pronouns in their username, some also don’t.

                And one of those pronouns is “comrad”.

                So cringe.

      I think this is just a matter of imageboard culture that just can’t / won’t mesh with general internet civility.

      Leave Hexbear users to their spaces. My hands are washed.

        Leave Hexbear users to their spaces.

        Normally I’d be inclined to agree, but the problem is they don’t stay in those spaces; they regularly invade other instances en masse, harass its community members and pollute it with pro-Russia & China propaganda and genocide denial, then feign innocence and use their high percentage of LGBTQ+ users as a shield. It’s really fucked up, and it’s happening in all the major instances in the 'verse. I mean, you’re right, they’re not gonna mesh and aren’t meshing well with other instances, but that’s solely because they go to other instances and deliberately start shit. We are leaving them to their spaces; they just aren’t reciprocating.

          Either everyone calling each other hard r n-bombs, or everyone walking on pins and needles making sure that they don’t say something against the will of the zeitgeist.
