Why does such a large portion of lemm.ee want to block hexbear.net? And, how can Hexbearians improve? (hexbear.net)

Greetings dear lemm.ee folks,

I have noticed an increasing number of lemm.ee users dissatisfied with Hexbearians. Reading through the modlogs on hexbear.net, I have observed truckloads of lemm.ee users being banned on hexbear.net, meaning that they won't see any Hexbearian's reply to them since Hexbearians aren't able to see their comments. Despite this, I have yet to see the complaints from lemm.ee die down. May I politely ask, what is it that makes so many lemm.ee users hate us? And, how can we improve? Thanks!

I humbly request that all parties involved in the comments refrain from using slurs or name-calling to reduce the workload on mods and admins.

Is there any reason to think it isn't rooted in the difference in political alignment?

Yes, there is. Lemmygrad is politically aligned with HexBear, but receives far fewer complaints from users of other instances. Why?

IMO, it's because Lemmygrad users usually keep to themselves within the confines of their own instance and generally don't behave like a gang of drunken hooligans.

Hexbear users on the other hand ...

Although I agree that the majority of new Lemmy users are probably not used to political challenges coming from leftfield as opposed to from the right, it seems to me that the core reason why Hexbear users often get under people's skin to such a degree is their overall behavior, not their political stances per se (as deplorable as they quite often are).

a gang of drunken hooligans

I'm stealing this phrase, thanks.

[–] turtlepower@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

I'd rather deal with drunken hooligans than hexbears.

I've been seeing a lot of comment thieves lately lol

Last one I saw was someone elsewhere saying something along the lines of "people’s brains have been beaten into a froth of hate"
