    I almost left Lemmy because of the crap I always had in my feed.

    Then I realized all the bottom of the barrel content and takes were all from the hexbear instance. I started blocking any community from that server. It’s like a whole new world

      We at sh.itjust.works can proudly claim that we out-hexbeared the hexbears. They defederated from us before we did from them.

        I’ve never had or heard of any issues with shit just works users, why did they defederate with you?

          We fought fire with fire. If you want to know the way in which your average Hexbear user conducts themselves, you just need to recall that they have their pig shit image linked to their instance for convenient use: https://hexbear.net/PPB (NSFW!)

          Edit: You can also check out [email protected], if you want to get a glimpse at what was going on a few days ago.

            Dw, I don’t need a reminder of how hexbear users are. I grew tired of arguing with them and their bad faith arguments when scrolling through all and blocked all their communities I came across a week or two ago.

            And I’m even very left wing. I’m just anti-authoritarian before I’m left wing. I would rather live in a right wing anti-authoritarian place than a left wing authoritarian one.

            Thanks for the community suggestion, sunscribed.

          I don’t know either, but it’s really nice not seeing their posts. I think it was a “you can’t break up with me if I break up with you first!” thing.

      Same. It’s so much better now; same amount of porn, but way fewer morons.
