hexbear.net/instances

Looks like they’re still federated with us. Is the instance list automatically updated?

MossyFeathers ,

I don’t think they’re federated with blahaj.zone and pawb.social but they are still on the list. That said, I’m pretty sure the pawb.social defederation was on our end and not on hexbear’s, so that might be why it’s still there. I was almost sure hexbear and blahaj.zone both defederated from each other though.

gravitas_deficiency ,

Heh, good riddance. They’re SUPER fucking annoying, and I’ve seen pretty much zero examples of their userbase contributing in a meaningfully positive way to discussions on any instance, including their own.

All I ever get from their instance are posts about them complaining about other instances complaining about them. Like damn, take a hint you guys.

sanpedropeddler ,

I have met about 3 normal reasonable people there, everyone else I’ve seen just barges in to every conversation and says meaningless annoying nonsense.

Early_To_Risa ,

Thank god. I’ve been annoyed by their toxic nonsense.

This is like when the one insufferable dude at a party leaves on his own, and now the host doesn’t have to say something.

Deplorables

goat OP ,

They aren’t deplorables.

@formatc@sh.itjust.works avatar

They were toxic and obnoxious.

goat OP ,

absolutely!

but deplorables refers to homophobes

Eh never heard that as a definition.

www.thefreedictionary.com/deplorable

glad_cat ,

Never heard it either. In French, déplorable may be a synonym for pathetic.

PM_ME_FEET_PICS ,

Not what the definition means and they are also homophobes and transphobes.

figjam ,

Nah. Just children and shillls

fsxylo ,

Can we still follow through with defederating them? This is definitely a ploy so they can start back up whenever they want.

goat OP ,

The admins don’t have plans on defederating.

ruckblack ,

Seems really fishy to me. TheDude defederated from Lemmygrad with zero community input, based on his own personal convictions. Now the admin team agrees to let in a rabid userbase of tankies, imaqtpie calls them a “valuable asset” in response to calls for defederation, and they actively get in the way of our attempts to organize a discussion/vote to defederate. Things feel different and not in a good way.

Fucking lmao. Good riddance. This is at least the second time they've bailed before their shitty deeds can get them kicked out.

goat OP ,

really doesn’t take much.

it’s so disheartening, like legitimately, how are these guys gonna cancel capitalism and destroy the west when they need to flee back to their safespace on the fucking internet.

"Wh-what do you mean people are shitty to us when we're shitty to them?? This is [insert irrelevant accusation of bigotry here]! Critical support for Comrade Xi's Concentration Camps!"

People who are so eager to dish it often can't take it. Even in milder forms than the 4chan-esque trolling Hexbears use, like the horrible personal attack that is [checks notes] disputing that concentration camps are good.

Quacksalber ,

Don’t forget how Rrracist the community icon is. How dare we!

My God, if only we had taken our mockery of Comrade Xi from someone unproblematic, like Chinese nationals!

fushuan ,

I read 20 mins ago someone from hexbear complaining that calling Xi Winnie is racist because Winnie is yellow and Xi Chinese. Meanwhile, the meme was born in china, from chinese people. The west just adopted the icon that China’s govenment banned in china, after its own citizens popularized it.

SOOOoo it must be racist yeah /s

Ashyr ,

Never had the trash take itself out before. Feels good.

Ertebolle ,

In Communist China, trash takes out you

glad_cat ,

One of them sent me a private message:

your grandfather was a nazi scumfuck that deserves to die

Nice people.

And my grandfather was not German, he lived in an actual communist country and hated it.

goat OP ,

im very sorry to hear that. Can you share that message? Like a screenshot?

But it’s fine, it’s not my first time on the internet.

goat OP ,

they always forget that the soviet union was perfectly fine with nazi germany until nazi germany didn’t share poland

nao ,

FYI, these super wide screenshots of text make it difficult to read on small/narrow screens (anyone using lemmy on their phone?)

abrasiveteapot ,

Yeah impossible to read on jerboah - doesn’t allow pic zoom (on my phone anyway)

nao ,

Even if there is an option to zoom, it’s difficult because to read the text you have to scroll sideways in small steps for each line

SeaJ ,

Everyone that disagrees with them is a Nazi yet they actively deny the ongoing genocide of Uyghers.

PM_ME_FEET_PICS ,

Everyone who disagrees with them is a transphobe yet they had several posts agreeing with China’s ban on Trans people, sterilization and murder.

altima_neo ,
@altima_neo@lemmy.zip avatar

Yeah I don’t get that? Why are they constantly complaining about transphobia all the time? Yet I never see any.

WtfEvenIsExistence ,

It’s like labeling CCP critics “racist”

Oh well I guess I’m being racist to myself for criticizing a regime that tried to kill me.

Just tankie logic

Steeve ,

Lol this is the second time in a month they’ve done the “you can’t fire me I quit” thing

goat OP ,

and it won’t be the last :(

ZodiacSF1969 ,

Lol, I knew they’d run away like the buncha pussies they are. Glad they aren’t going to show up en mass anymore and derail threads with their bitching.

ImFresh3x ,

I only clicked on a few of their posts. One was literally a bunch of people saying Biden is a pussy for not drone striking 80k people at burning man. For people who really eschew civility like that they seem really sensitive in this post.

Delicate internet bullies.

danwardvs ,

Am I reading this right that Hexbear is defederating with sh.itjust.works?

I’m pleased to hear the good news.

Quacksalber ,

They lasted only a couple of days. We outlasted them. o7
