I appreciate your efforts. I reported the thread in question when I initially saw it, and I'm glad it was eventually locked.
It's a lose-lose situation. People post threads about hexbear, then hexbear users show up to defend themselves, and then they get attacked for "brigading" or otherwise having a sudden presence in the thread. Rinse and repeat.
For me, the biggest annoyance is the constant "they are right wing trolls!" argument, or saying we don't support GSM/LGBTQ+ here because some users post sarcastic memes about the right. Like holy fuck it boils my blood.
I do want you to know, I didn't leave lemm.ee because of you or how you run the instance. I left because I can't stand the idiotic and mindless parroting of bullshit coming from other users. It's not your fault that a slice of users there are morons, especially with the size of the instance. Keep doing what you're doing and you will eventually find the path forward. Just don't lose sight of your own morality and ideals in the process.
