I’m not sure what’s going on over there, but half the time I see a post from there or go into a comment section and it’s just…bad. Like old reddit the_donald bad. Constant trolling, etc. You TS just really bad vibes. I’ve been blocking the communities as they come up, but I’m not sure what else I can do.
I’ve got the same user across a few instances after the piracy ban on .world. But yeah, I’m a lurker mostly. My point is, there’s a particular vibe that’s presented even within this threads discussion that is pervasivly toxic.
Emoji spam, constant whataboutism, etc. I’m not saying the instance is inherently bad. But the user base is pretty toxic, in my experience so far.
i dont think its right that cishet hexbear users are posting in this thread personally, i know some of them commented here for certain. i think its very fair for our LGBT users to post here against defederation, given it would split lemmy’s largest lgbt groups. and acting like that is brigading is silly, you cant brigade your own real life community. i would say thats the majority of the people who are responding to this thread from hexbear, based on what i know of the lgbt community there.
