My last post was a post equating NATO with gay rights with the caption "fuck tankies". That is not the case. I simply found a screenshot on discord and posted it because I was unreasonably angry at hexbear due to the brigading of the discussion thread. Hexbear does have some nice people among their very politically charged communities. Have a picture of sleeping ducks instead.

Nope. Anybody on hexbear knows damn well it's chock full of racist bigots. They are OK with all that racism and bigotry.

That makes them bad. A lot of racist bigots are polite and friendly. It doesn't mean they aren't scum.

You have a table with 3 people sitting at it, a Nazi comes over and has a seat, no one leaves or pushes the Nazi out, you have 4 Nazis sitting at the table.

At this point I've blocked between 3-4 dozen Hexbear folks across all my alts.

I have blocked several of their communities that I've seen on all. I was just saying that there are some diamonds in the rough. They are a lot more tolerable if you just block their dunking community and their political communities.

I currently can't even block them, which is making a lot of threads unbearable to scroll.

That's weird. I can block any user from any instance, but that might be because I'm on lemmy not kbin.

Might be a Kbin thing, I've block 3-4 dozen of them at this point across all my alts.
