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 12 points 4 days 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 27 points 4 days ago (1 children)

sh.itjust.works shit just works

[–] Sidyctism2@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 4 days ago

@sh.itjust.works

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 days ago (1 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

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

They're mutally defederating.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

That explains why so many hexbear defenders in SJW comms are on different instances (usually .ml). They literally can't see those comms from their hexbear accounts.

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

I can access hexbear communities, at https://sh.itjust.works/instances only test.hexbear.net is listed which leads to 502 anyway. Am I doing something wrong?

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Probably an issue on sh.itjust.works's end, though Hex blocks it so they won't see anything on your end even if you do get in.

If you want to see what it's about, just visit hexbear.net directly.

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

It makes sense, all the posts I find from hexbear are a couple of months old. It is a bit annoying, because when I hit explore in Voyager and sort by size, thalf of the communities are from hexbear.. Maybe @TheDude@sh.itjust.works has an idea why it behaves like this?

[–] Madbrad200@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 days ago

Hexbear used to be federated with sh.itjust.works. if you defederate, the old posts still continue to exist, hence the communities also still continuing to show.

[–] imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works 0 points 3 days ago

I tried removing a bunch of the old hexbear communities. Did that help at all?

Also sorting communities by total subscribers is a bad system. It's more useful to sort by monthly active users imo.

You can use lemmyverse to sort by active users.

Check the blocked tab. Also, when servers defed, old posts and comms stay behind.

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 5 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Instance blocking blocks the comms, not the users. You will have to block every user you see if you're reflexively anti-Hexbear, or move to an instance defederated from them entirely.

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 4 points 4 days ago (2 children)

That's so fucking lame. I didn't know how good I had it this whole time. But I am absolutely petty enough to block every user from there.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 15 points 4 days ago

I believe you.

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I'd recommend you go to an instance that blocks hex, like lemmy.ca or sopuli.xyz.

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee -2 points 4 days ago

I'm not giving up my account because of Nazis. I'll block every one of them if I have to.

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 5 points 4 days ago (3 children)

I mean why do they make you that mad they're usually pretty cool

[–] Mjpasta710@midwest.social 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

If you find their behavior cool... Cool is defined by society, usually.

Most do not find their behavior remotely cool. They're absolute hypocritical dissent censoring liars, as a majority.

What is cool to you?

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

They're anti-capitalist and militantly pro LGBTQ+. What's not to like?

[–] Mjpasta710@midwest.social 6 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Open support of dictatorships, for starters.

They're not honest about their political policies in the slightest.

Lying about everything and censorship of dissent. This really is the icing.

If their ideologies are pure and right, why do they need to silence conversation with imaginary pretenses?

You’re misrepresenting the actuality of the environment you’re promoting…

Few may be decent, though the experience of most non trolling has been, the instance is overrun and managed by a lot of narcissistic, hypercritical, and toxic individuals.

[–] RandomPrivacyGuy@lemm.ee 4 points 4 days ago

they’re usually pretty cool

oh boy how i love having the entire discussion thread be derailed by a bunch of angry hexbears spamming stickers

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee -4 points 4 days ago (2 children)

If you want to sit at the table with Nazis, that's up to you, I have no room for them.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 10 points 4 days ago

Equating Communists to Nazis is a form of Nazi apologia. I suggest you read Blackshirts and Reds.

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Nazis????

In what universe are these people Nazis???

[–] SorteKanin 2 points 3 days ago

Do be aware of the limitations of user blocking though.
