Hexbear is the big instance of people who are so fucked they tend to get banned even from there. The ml crowd is generally still worth talking to. Whereas the hexbear crowd immediately jump to harassment the moment they decide you failed a purity test because you advocated for a social program rather than insisting the entire system needs to be burned down and a managed economy run by putin put in its place.

Needless to say: Anyone who spends enough time "on lemmy" is either on an instance that banned hexbear or muted them themselves.

I leave em, it's fun to watch them go and post their stickers, it's almost like twitch chat

Appreciate the explanation. I've seen some remarks about the instance in passing, I've just never paid close enough attention to how communities have interacted with each other in the past.

No, no. They're a group of posters so awful they got banned from Reddit.

And let's be honest, you can be pretty much the worst person on earth and survive in your own little bubble on Reddit, but, for whatever reason, they couldn't.

I feel attacked lmao, reddit automoda/policy is abusive now, I commented on a front page post with an alt and it permbanned 3 of my 10 year old accounts instantly no appeal. I kinda do like that they forced me to give lemmy a second look.

The mods just ban ppl willy nilly, how am i supposed to keep track of what banned me, if they have detection tools they should be able to auto ban my alts or hide those subs from my view or better yet not even let me comment on them, instead they asssume evasion and perm ban your ip.

My revenge was deleting every helpful post/comment I had (I got lazy 5 minutes in kinda sucks that there is no way to delete your post history once reddit bans you, you can delete your account but posts and commentd stay up, the only way to remove them is to edit them)

Oh, maybe I wasn't clear: this isn't the usual mods doing mods, they were such bad posters the admins banned their entire sub.

Getting banned from a subreddit is easy, getting the admins to kick you, your friends, and your community off the site requires exquisite and well-developed shitposting skills beyond those of most mortals.

Yeah...

Spend some time in the "I hate reddit and am glad I am never going back but do you think reddit still thinks about me and hey, can I take a picture of your penis and send it to show reddit that my new boyfriend is massive?" communities. LOTS of the folk around here have those "I was banned for absolutely nothing" mentalities.

And it shows with how fast people are to "clown on" folk with just blatant insults.

Those folk aren't at all exclusive to hexbear.

When I accidentally interacted with one of their communities, it basically felt like a tankie 4chan. After that I just banned the entire instance.
