      Just remind me again, which instance produces hundreds of hate comments every time one of their shitty takes is removed from another instance? Hint: it’s not us. They have zero tolerance for us, so why should we be tolerant of them exactly? I’m curious to know your logic.

      Edit: and every downvote is from .ml. Wonder why they are wading in on this? Lol

        What hate comments are you talking about? I legit don’t know what you are talking about and I post there almost exclusively. You say ‘not us’ but what is this post full of attempted shame on hexbear then? Have you seen the hex thread about defederating? The hex users share kindness for dbzer0 users, the reasons for the banning seemed pretty reasonable and consistent with their policies, and they voted against defederating. From my perspective this whole situation seems a bit immature.

          This whole thing started because one .ml poster got salty than we removed one post of theirs from piracy and went there to whine as they know hexbear loves to just believe any disinfo that reinforces their dislike. At which point it was a thread full of insults and hate (as usual). When I tried to explain calmly why we actually removed the post, there were a few initial positive interactions which were followed by Americans waking up and starting the bad faith arguments with a bit of ableism sprinkled in for good measure.

          Finally I misused one unwritten rule, once, by following the example of someone who used it towards me (which I respected) which their mod used as an excuse to insult me, remove all my comments and ban me.

          I gave them a piece of my mind for that behaviour and the rest is history.

          This post is the only attention I’ve given hexbear in this instance since months (the second such attention in total) , while they’ve had multiple of them in the past month alone. Not to mention 1000-comment brigades full of toxicity and sealioning in the past year. Hell they even made a thread explicitly to ridicule my pfp for good measure 😁 I’m not even allowed to vent in my own space apparently.

          But sure, we’re immature.
