I think a little clarification is needed. No. I don’t actually think everyone there is insane. I don’t care about the bans so stop trying to use that. HB enthusiasts coming here and trying to call me out achieves nothing besides proving my point

Edit: Feel free to keep trying to brigade me. It’s not going to scare me to take this down

    Problem is that blocking the instance doesn’t block these clowns’ comments on other instances, you have to do a lot of manual blocking.

      That depends on your client. Connect for lemmy shows a placeholder for comments from blocked instances. You can click to show the comment anyway or just blissfully ignore the high probability rage bait.

      I actually like that implementation, because the obnoxiousness of hexbear users is context dependent. On posts about gardening and nolawns I’ll usually see what they have to say. On political posts, I usually regret reading their comments. So it’s somewhat nice to opt-in to comments on a case by case basis.

      Lemm.ee basically doesn’t defederate anything. You should probably go to an instance that defederates those instances.

        While I would prefer defederation in this case, I found being on an instance ran by competent admin small price to pay.
