Me; new here thinking "hexbear" is the furry server.... Oh...

Well I was half right

LPT - you don't have to give any fucks about who or what "hexbear.net" is, instead you can have a life.

I just blocked the whole instance as soon as the option was implemented. There were few good posts/comunities from it, but overall better to block it whole.

[–] gigachad@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Somehow I can't block it using Voyager, the only instance appearing is test.hexbear.net. Any idea why?

I'm actually getting pissed, I have hexbear.net and test.hexbear.net both instance blocked in Voyager but can still see these cretins comments. I could tag them all but that would take forever.

Edit: Fuck it, just blocking them when I see them.

Finally! This place just isn't the same without pics of pigs shitting on their own balls.

You know that you can block instances yourself? Like you don't have to be forced to see their stuff. I think some of y'all enjoy whinging about shit for the sake of it.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

If you block an instance, you can't spend the next sixty posts complaining about the replies.

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 8 points 1 week ago

I'm fine with hex, for the most part. This is a joke, in the jokes about the fediverse community.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You know that blocking an instance does not block users from that instance?

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 7 points 1 week ago (2 children)

But it blocks all posts that are posted to communities on on that instance, so it guts 90% of the shit you don't want to see. Just block users when they piss you off.

The constant posting of hatred towards other instances is just as if not more annoying to me than the dumb shit hexbear comes out with.

[–] SorteKanin@feddit.dk 5 points 1 week ago

But it doesn't block votes, so their users will still influence your feed.

Blocks don't hide your posts from them or prevent them from responding to your comments.

Don't have a problem with what instance you're on as long as you're respectful I'll be respectful back

Oh, my sweet summer child.

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 14 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I totally agree. But that instance is slightly notorious for brigading threads.

Never noticed they were gone. Just checked and my instance defederated from them. All is good in the world.

[–] InvertedParallax@lemm.ee 6 points 1 week ago

Seriously.

Feels good man.

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm glad my feed has been pretty drab with them gone

Move to an instance that defederates then, and move on? I'm not the biggest fan by any mean, but this kind of posts is just calling for some instance slapstick fights in the comments

For a list:

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 7 points 1 week ago (6 children)

I get what you're saying, but this is mostly a joke.

There is some cool people there.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago (3 children)

When Hexbear sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending other cool people. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing flamewars. They’re bringing spam. They’re brigaders. And some, I assume, are good people.

Pretty much all my experiences with that instance and similar ones have been disgusting.

Pushing people who post burning flags of a country and posts about it to be fully wiped out are accepted... Criticism regarding this gets your comment remove and a ban from the community.

I don't need that again. Where can I block this pseudo-left pro-authoritarian instance in Voyager?
