If so, was it polled somewhere?

You do see how many of us are being treated though right? Some of us are going in hot, but most are interacting reasonably, then getting slammed with bad faith complaints and accusations,

Its incredibly frustrating, I'm sure you can relate

Let's tally up the replies to me from Hexbear users.

  • One insult.
  • One taunt.
  • One helpful reply with a little pushback (which might be deserved).
  • One reply expressing frustration with how Hexbear users are treated collectively.
  • One troll.

So a minority of Hexbear users interacted reasonably, while the majority of Hexbear users did not.

I know you personally can't do much about your instance's users making a majority of posts in bad faith, but Hexbear as an instance has a bad reputation across the Fediverse right now because of their behavior.

Mate, you've been plenty insulting and toxic, you get what you give.

The more I look the more I see a severe clash of values between Hexbear and SIJW (and most Lemmy instances). Most Hexbears act like spewing insults, trolling, and supporting murderous dictators are blows for righteousness. On the other side, those Hexbears come off as juvenile delinquents wearing Red Guard armbands as they spray graffiti, break windows, and take offense at being told off.

Until Hexbear culture quits sanctifying insults and trolling, a lot of doors are going to be slammed in your faces.

Half of what you said is you disagreeing with our politics

Im sure the people you think are 'the good guys' politically are evil murderous ~~dictators~~ 'democratically elected representative of the people'

The systems you support, tacitly or directly are violent by nature, yet you think dissent against it is acting in bad faith

Its absurd, and it's embarrassing

Not sure if you missed my point or you're just trolling.

I'll quote myself covering the important parts, skip the metaphor, and try to explain in simple English.

Most Hexbears act like spewing insults, trolling, and supporting murderous dictators are blows for righteousness. Until Hexbear culture quits sanctifying insults and trolling, a lot of doors are going to be slammed in your faces.

We hate you because of how you talk. The "call-outs" which are just an excuse to call people names. The posing. The rude pictures. The trolling. The brigading. Reply to any of it and get another avalanche of name-calling and trolling.

A lot of us also hate what you say. But many of us could tolerate what you say if you said it nicely. What's the point of tolerance if you don't tolerate a few things you hate?

You are a type of troll that is very hard to talk into not trolling. And nobody will put up with your trolling for long if they can ban you. So, expect a lot of bans because you are trolls.

If you argued for Marxism but didn't troll and call people names, you would be banned less.
