The mods of all the major communities there remove comments criticism Hexbear and usually follow it up with a ban. It’s absolutely clear what is happening and it shouldn’t be allowed to continue.

    Welcome to federation, where basically every instance is a proxy to all others.

    Btw you are also free to block any instance yourself.

      Not how the instance blocking feature works. it’s a common misconception because people don’t read the docs and just assume it does what they think it does. From the News Section on Join-Lemmy:

      Users can now block instances. Similar to community blocks, it means that any posts from communities which are hosted on that instance are hidden. However the block doesn’t affect users from the blocked instance, their posts and comments can still be seen normally in other communities.

      It’s not an alternative or replacement to defederation, not even close. I’m really surprised this misconception still persists even after widespread adoption of 0.19.x across the Lemmy network.

        So you don’t care about the instance you want to ban all the users from there. That’s quite open minded and tolerant!

              Can we stop this please?

              It was never that revolutionary in the first place - “if you allow assholes to be assholes everything will go to shit” - I’m shocked.

              … but now, after seeing it as a reply to every second comment on lemmy, it’s just spam and doesn’t inform discussion in any way.

            You can block instances for yourself instead of blocking them for everyone.

              Good lord. It’s as though you haven’t bothered to read any other comments in this thread.

              Blocking instances yourself doesn’t solve anything. At all.

                Of course they didn’t, they’re just reactively replying to comments that trigger them hoping that the people they reply to also get triggered. They are a troll.
