I figured since their admin has asked them to stop participating over here it may be worthwhile to get a new discussion going that is primarily blahaj. I’m almost certain they’ll still be upvoting so keep that in mind as that may skew things. Worthwhile to check in from instances that have already defederated them. The previous thread definitely left a bad taste in my mouth but what do y’all think?

The current top comment is:

Every instance that has talked shit and got dogpiled should be thanking us for breathing some life into their dead and boring ass websites.

    I think what the other person was saying is that they’ve already created the lefty version of The_Donald and honestly I have to agree with take

    They’re so good damn toxic that I’ve literally blocked more of them in the last 48 than I’ve blocked people in general since I moved over to Lemmy

      Not quite what I mean. I don’t think Hexbear is comparable to the Donald at all. They may be rude, but they’re a hell of a lot less hateful. I was just saying that they already are what they are, whatever you consider that to be.

        They don’t need to be hateful to be counterproductive. Even if they are legit, their methods aren’t helpful.
