    Genuinely curious - besides that particular user causing issues, what’s the deal with hexbear in general? Full of idiots like that?

      Well, i’ll try to avoid talking about the political stuff (there’s an entire mountain of it) Do note i don’t really care, i just ignore them; and i mainly participate in casual communities (they’re pretty well behaved there)

      Most content from hexbear is pretty low-effort. The admins are incompetent, and will allow [pretty much] anything so long as it comes from one of their users.

      I’ve seen death threats, harassment, racism all from there; and the admins allow all of it. The bad-faith you to the ground in an argument, too.

      I’ll admit not all users are bad, but a majority probably are. That’s my personal opinion. On !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com they’ve been pretty okay actually, they’re allowed there. But it’s more of a discussion/casual community imo.

        Didnt we just have a large conversation about defederating with a Nazi bar because of the actions of a few users with lax administration?

        Judging by your message here it seems that we’re entirely hypocritical as a community if we hold one admin to a higher standard than others.

      Yes because the admins want that kind of culture for the most part, as long as you’re in the “in” Tankie crowd at least. Same problem with .ml, admins encouraging that kind of culture

        The admins literally are “idiots like that”, one of their admins @CARCOSA@hexbear.net decided to harass me because during a spam wave I decided to alert some of the Lemmy instance admins of instances I’m on of the trolls who were spamming Nazi shit and they decided to yell at me because I didn’t include hexbear and lemmy.ml admins in my list of pings, and putting words in my mouth trying to claim I’m an evil person.

        They’re not just encouraging that shitty behavior, they’re actively participating in it.

        Boo. And for .ml, are you talking about lemmy.ml? I’m subbed to several communities there for the FOSS and selfhosting stuff, on both this account and my db0 account…

          Yea .ml is shorthand for lemmy.ml, grad is shorthand for lemmygrad.ml

          I’m subbed to several communities there for the FOSS and selfhosting stuff, on both this account and my db0 account…

          I’ve been calling for a boycott of .ml for a few weeks now because they get away with a lot of crap because they, on the surface, have the biggest comms, so most instances don’t want to defend from them. I say on the surface because it’s only by subscribers count, so that can be full of dead accounts.

          For example Linux .ml comm reports 52k subsribers, last I checked, Lemmy-verse wide only had 52k ACTIVE users. I highly doubt every single active user is subbed to the lemmy.ml Linux comm lol if you look to MAUs on a per comm basis, it’s a much different story. A story that says that the only .ml comm to break the top 25 is memes LMFAO

          So to that end I would like to encourage you to unsub from them and delete any posted content there
