I had some conversations here. They were saying that north Korea is a lovely democracy, Russia is totally justified in Ukraine, and China isn't doing anything to the Uyghurs in Xinjiang. Just some examples from yesterday.

Well. I think that thread gave me cancer. What a cesspool.

They're coming here. They've all got their pronouns after their names, (which is actually a great idea) so it's a little easier to tell them apart. I've got a useless thread with a few in memes@lemmy.ml right now.

It's frustrating, because I have pronouns after my name and I dislike hexbear.... a lot. It is a good idea to have users give pronouns and automatically attach it.

Their behaviour has made me constantly check if people with pronouns after their names are part of hexbear before engaging in any threads, because of the stress of dealing with them :/, sometimes I do engage anyway and immediately regret it /shrug

It is depressing, because normally using pronouns like this indicates trans supportiveness so I feel better about conversing with people with them on their names. Hexbear has ruined this because of their behaviour around all other topics and sometimes trans topics.

Just hope Jerboa gets instance-blocking features soon ;p, then I can block them on both my lemmy accounts ^.^

That community is a disaster anyway.
