Is it bots? Are those humans whos mission is to cause chaos? Is the weird behaviour caused by the creation of the concept of lemmy?
Somebody please explain to me wtf is going on.
They answer destructive comments, assuming shit, demanding shit. Are they trolls?
Are they being paid for causing chaos? It’s insane
I specifically chose my instance because it’s not blocked or being blocked by too many instances.
I’d rather judge myself what I want to be exposed to.
I guess server admins who haven’t defederated them are either with them ORRR they put more responsibility towards their users.
I thought the same thing, but got worn down by the constant negativity and rage.
I did the same, that’s why I ended up in lemm.ee. but after being exposed to hexbear, and in lesser extend to ml, I ended up blocking both.
I haven’t seen hex users in a while, not sure if lemm.ee defederated. If so I’m really grateful.
There is an instance block feature you can use in the settings as a user, that seems to work pretty well for not seeing hexbear stuff
Instance block is not as effective as defederation, even on an individual level. I have received replies and messages from accounts on blocked instances; nothing gets through defederation.
I got a bit of harassment from hexbear users when I started using Lemmy, haven’t in a while now though, I have blocked around 30 of them and instance block
Yep that’s pretty normal and it’s why most instances have defederated.
In your instance’ case, db0 has said IIRC that the Anarchists on Hexbear, while not aligning 100% with them, are generally good and worth being federated with.
Or they live in a country where genocide denial is legal. I live in Canada and my server is in Canada. I’m not willing to take the risk so my users can interact with assholes.
