I have never see anything worth the hate.

You just have a very high tolerance for jackassery. You’ve seen plenty of evidence of hexbear hostility, i.e. the “dunk tank” that would justify not wanting to interact with hexbear users and have actively chosen to disregard it.

This is because you’re kind of a jackass. Disregarding people engaging in good faith with “just trust me bro” is exactly the kind of thing people really hate hexbear users for. Not because of illegal activity or moral failing, but because they’re assholes. While you may think this isn’t worth de-federation, unfortunately moderators aren’t some kind of legal authority, and if federating with hexbear means instance admins or community moderators need to put in triple the work to prune all the arguments and “”“shitposting”“” hexbear users love, nobody is legally or morally required to put up with it.

It’s legitimately that simple. Hexbear users are jerks and nobody wants to hang out with them, and that’s enough to ban them from any given community or instance.

People who think being a jackass is a form of activism. That’s all you really need to know.

They’re annoying, like over-caffeinated teenagers, and they like to use what I presume are something like Twitch emotes that don’t work outside of hexbear, which looks really stupid.

I don’t think they’re evil or anything, but they’re just so universally awful to deal with that I can fully support immediate no-questions-asked defederation. They’re the fediverse equivalent of a decent enough guy who just fucking reeks because they refuse to ever shower or wear deodorant.

A link to some dude’s blog? Here’s the article.

This has its negatives. If someone makes twenty-seven different hate speech communities spread out over twenty-seven instances, it becomes harder to exterminate them like the vermin they are. If they all congregate on one overly-permissive instance, you can defederate them and call it a day. Much easier.

does not censor hate speech

federated with everyone

Yeah okay OP someone definitely isn’t some flavour of racist

Bungiefan_ak appears to have literally two hobbies, and they’re being anti-piracy and actively a fascist.

Funny how that works out.

I feel like this needs context.

Alright, hot take: This isn’t the case, especially on Lemmy/kbin. Since upvotes/downvotes don’t influence sorting, and scores aren’t totaled into a single number, there’s not really any downside to downvoting someone for just being a shitty opinion or something. If anything, it’s actively informative that this-many-people thought this guy was dumb, but _this* many people thought it was good.
