Ummm … fuck yes that’s awesome!!

Well something to keep in mind is that hexbear isn’t one person … it’s a whole community that’s developed independently for a while. So it’s reasonable to expect that there’d be variation in the behaviours of members in the same way there’s variation on the rest of lemmy. From what I’ve gathered, not all hexbear members are keen on the re-federation, and some aren’t too keen on being “well-behaved” around politically opposed users (ie “libs”), though hexbear admins and other users have promised moderation and that such isn’t part of the core hexbear values.

It’s social media, afterall … and people can be rather shit and ruin it for the rest of us. In the end, the core service provided a social media platform isn’t the hardware, sys-admin-work or software (however necessary they are) … it’s the moderation work.

The moderation keeps the place sanitary enough for people to actually want to be here … however much we may have problems with particular actions of our moderators, we should really support and praise them at every turn.

Sorry, not from lemmygrad. And I’m on lemmy.ml because I joined before the Reddit migration and “Privacy and FOSS” (the focus of lemmy.ml) made a lot of sense for a lemmy instance/community.

Beyond that … more superficial, prejudicial hate mongering without any description of why or for what purpose. Sorry, I don’t think it’s worth reading … a downvote from me … and, just being real for a moment … at the moment it’s more likely that you’re a member of a “notoriously toxic … trollfest”.

Ironically, IME, I’ve seen significantly more troll-like tankie hate than I do tankie-trolling. I keep asking for receipts/links to tankie trolling here, as I’m genuinely curious to see it and understand what people are so upset about (please don’t explain to me what’s so upsetting unless it’s culturally thorough or coupled with some links+descriptions) … but no one has been able to do so.

they’re all incels and incels all seem about the same.

Downvote from me there. I’ve seen plenty of examples of hexbear people being nice, interesting and good sports. They definitely seem to have more of shitposting culture than is normal on mainstream lemmy. But all in all it’s seemed fun to me from what I’ve seen.

Beyond all that, this is just superficial and prejudicial. If you had some examples to link to or more substantial insights to share as to why it’d be “them”, that’d be worth reading.

Otherwise, they’re an instance. Not one person, I’m sure some on hexbear are assholes and some awesome.
