I instance banned that person for 2 weeks (13 days expiration). Told blaze to kill himself because… he criticizied ML moderation. Oh the horror.
What a fucking ghoul. The hexbear admins do bumfuck-nothing about their users, so we have to deal with their trash. Yes yes i know there are some good users there, but in general it’s just not worth it. They have horrible moderation.
I’d love to defederate but a lot of users would like to stay (ie they’re bad but have some good content) so i made this issue to remedy the problem: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/5578 (not just for hexbear, ml or etc; also some other instances but that’s besides the point)
(PS: @blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com i hope you don’t mind me using your screenshot, i can delete if you want)
That one person disagreeing with you has some interesting takes. They don’t seem to grasp the concept of users of an instance disagreeing with each other, only of instances disagreeing with other instances like rival hiveminds.
No shade to them, but i think we’re seeing this from different viewpoints; i see this from a personal preference standpoint, and they see this from some moderation stance, which was not the point at all. This isn’t meant to replace defederations.
Honestly I was kinda sad to see hexbear posts again popping up on my feed, even though I enjoyed witnessing their 🤡 shit before. Just decided that my feed is happier without them and blocked the instance in Voyager app
Even worse, the instance block still allows them to see your comments and posts (really in it’s current implementation it’s more of a “mute”) and interact with them.
So if you’re on a world news article and rightfully comment about Russia being an invader of a sovereign nation or something, it’s at risk of being down vote brigaded by Tankie Triad users and they can leave shit talking comments under it that you’ll never see so can’t defend yourself from
Yea but they aren’t really screaming into the void, my primary concern is the bad look it paints the Lemmy-verse to the outside and giving us the rep that Lemmy is “Tankie Central” or worse “Voat 2.0”
I’ve already seen a few comments on Reddit about how they tried Lemmy and found it to be “full of tankies”
There’s not really a way to change that. Lemmy is built by tankies. Until someone maintains a viable fork there’s not much you can do. Arguing with them isn’t going to change anything.
It only seems like that, because currently a large chunk of the people here are technical people who aren’t afraid of opening or navigating GitHub
The average joe just looking for their Reddit replacement does not care who the devs are or what they believe.
But they do care what they see in their day-to-day usage of the platform. Ergo, if there was wide defederation from the Tankie Triad it would go a long way to shifting the wider Lemmy-verses rep back to more positive pastures
As far as the code base itself, it’s just code, whose purpose is to be a link-aggregator social media server software. There’s nothing political about it in any way

If only instance blocking was properly built into lemmy itself. I wonder if summit has that feature.
Yes it does. Go to the instance page, click on the 3 dot “more” icon in the bottom right corner and select “Block instance.”
The problem is, blocking instances still allow their comments to be seen
That’s why i made the github issue c; nutomic seems interested, hopefully it will come with lemmy 1.0. It’ll be a win-win for all of us.
That’s good to hear!
Oh, didn’t know that :(

Honestly don’t care as long as I don’t have to see their bs. They can scream into the void for all I care.
