I think that it doesn’t matter if they’re back or not, if you don’t like them (not a huge fan myself) you can go to an instance that defeds them.

That was a terrible take, I’m sorry.

you know, normally I’d agree with your point, but not when the offending parties are actually deliberately disruptive jackasses whenever they show up. Hexbear is insufferable. that’s not a critique of their viewpoint, that’s a critique of their behavior. If you come into the sandbox and kick sand in other kids eyes on the regular, don’t be surprised when nobody wants to play with you. It’s a lesson you, they, and most others should’ve learned before middle school, and it has nothing to do with what political ideology they follow.

I’m on an instance that defeded hex, and I’ve got an alt on an instance that didn’t. Literally nothing lost. The reason loads of instances defeded hex was their habit of brigading. Loads of bad faith arguments, shit talking people…even when they were agreeing with the points being made. Having seen what their contributions to the fed are, I’m glad to have a little less noise. Happy to discuss with people who have different views, but they don’t tend to discuss, they are the equivalent of that one person that talks at you, not with you…
