It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

Is it bots? Are those humans whos mission is to cause chaos? Is the weird behaviour caused by the creation of the concept of lemmy?

Somebody please explain to me wtf is going on.

They answer destructive comments, assuming shit, demanding shit. Are they trolls?

Are they being paid for causing chaos? It’s insane

Different instance, different ideology.

Example: there used to be a nazi insrance called exploding-heads.com (or was it .net?anyways, doesnt matter), basically you just dont interact with them, eventually they got defedersted by many instances.

Lemmygrad and Hexbear are Marxist Leninists, the same ideology of USSR and China. Get it now?

If you disagree, just block their instance in your user settings.

Unfortunately, blocking an instance in settings don't block their users from commenting in other instance's communities. So you gotta either (1) use an app to block the users too, or (2) find an instance that defederates them.

Just block people you don't want to interact with. My instance isn't even federated with Hexbear but there are still people fitting that description. And plenty of folks there didn't fit that description.

you should go ask them

Can't say I've noticed a problem tbh.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Me neither. Of course I have the instance blocked and every user I see comment; so that probably helps.

I just don't get all the anti-hexbear hate I see on other Lemmy servers. Questioning your mainstream/western/capitalist beliefs and arguing about it shouldn't be ground for blocking them. I have yet to see any egregious behavior from them. Sure, I see somewhat outrageous takes on their own hosted communities, but have yet to see them cross the line on other servers.

Questioning your mainstream/western/capitalist beliefs and arguing about it

I wish that's what they actually did. Instead we get 12 year-old Twitch chatters pretending to be wiser than thou punching down

I have yet to see any egregious behavior

Lucky you!

Tribalism is a hell of a drug, and generally speaking people don't like it when you support fascists that aren't on your team.

That said, I don't think my instance is federated with them so I only see their comments in rare circumstances, and even then half their takes are straight from RT
