    I saw someone on there call us "feral posters", the way they see us is really funny to me

      It's funny because it's mostly accurate, everyone here is so nice and friendly like 90% of the time but when something kicks off Hexbear users are vicious.

      One thing we really need to teach people before federating is to be careful of overdoing it on other instances as if those instances decide that Hexbear users are always badly behaved they may just defederate.

        We really need to. Don't shit up other people's stuff. If it's a explicit chud instance, we probably won't federate with them anyways.

        If users come to hexbear, it's fair game though. But don't be arseholes to well meaning people.

          This is still going to be a problem because the hexbear posts will exist on their instance, and if they don't like what they see here then they'll defederate to remove the content from their instance. They may not always do this, they may just ban specific targeted powerful posters they dislike from showing up on their instance instead. But yeah, it's a kind of difficult ecosystem for the bipolarity that exists in friendly vs aggressive behaviour here.

            True, but I think we'll also overlap a bunch on lemmy.ml and other instances like that, so we still need to behave ourselves there, even if the admins are friendly toward us on the whole.

              The lemmy admins were mercilessly ban us for even calling someone a single name they have an absurd level of tone policing.

          We should hunt down chud instances and have one weekend a month where we federate with them and brigade with alts.

        Joining a front and then splitting over rejecting civility could be the first actually leftist thing we do, and you want to stop it?

      with how few people post on lemmygrad, the fact that we're posters at all is a good thing tbh
