It’s already turned into a shitshow, they’ve been brigading enmasse, downvoting and trolling just like they used to. Guess some things never change, eh?
I’m all for shitting on hxbr but that instance literally cannot use the downvote function. It’s more likely that hexbear-related whining is just more unpopular on the non-tankie instances than you think.
You are aware most Hexbears have alts on instances that don’t have downvotes disabled though, right? They do so to get around the wide defederation of their instance.
Sure, but that wouldn’t have changed when hexbear re-federated.
What you see now as far as their downvote activity on lemmy is what it has always been since the reddit migration, even before. At least I see no reason why it would have changed due to their defed/refed activity
Don’t worry, they’ll get banned on their Hexbear accounts and switch back to their .ml and lemm.ee sockpuppets to continue their shitty behaviour soon enough.
Boy, I sure do remember when the beehaw admins were fussing with the Lemmy developers (which for the record I actually kind of take the Lemmy devs’ side of), and the Lemmy devs held up Hexbear as an instance that has been with us since the beginning, the ones who were really worthy of honors of being true believers as far as what Lemmy should stand for. Unlike beehaw and their moderation philosophy. That was a super normal and defensible thing for them to say.

at least the hexies do it with their hex accounts unlike the ml lot that smurf as other instances
