    I just don’t find hexbear as a whole to be that objectionable. They defederated from everyone for a while during their whole DNS debacle, and I missed them! It’s a very active instance that posts a lot of news and memes.

    And if we’re basing this on which instances have more annoying users, well I have a lot more users from discuss.tchncs.de blocked than hexbear. Not to call them out either, but I think it’s… intolerant to act like a whole instance is poison because their standards and rules allow for types of people I don’t want to interact with. Obviously stuff like CSAM or Nazi shit is a red line, but if some users having objectionable politics is grounds for ostracizing an instance, how has lemmy.world survived this long?

      Objectionable politics

      “Anybody who’s more moderate than a Marxist-Leninist is a liberal and deserves to be shot”

      Hexbear is as bad as 4chan, but with tankies instead of alt-right, normalising radical political views

        99% of online Tankies promote fascist positions, but pretend to be “left” so as to present as more palatable to left-leaning “normies” dissatisfied with the state of democracy.
