I’m not sure what’s going on over there, but half the time I see a post from there or go into a comment section and it’s just…bad. Like old reddit the_donald bad. Constant trolling, etc. You TS just really bad vibes. I’ve been blocking the communities as they come up, but I’m not sure what else I can do.

    I've had only very positive interactions with hexbear users. They definitely have their own vibe within their communities from being unfederated for a while, but I don't see why that is a reason to defederate. If you don't like hexbear comments sections then just... don't open them??? Do you even want to be in the fediverse?

      It's more that they bring that behaviour out into other communities and make them unappealing. Several news communities become unusable if certain topics come up since they federated.

          Anything involving the Russian invasion of Ukraine just attracts apologists for the agresssor of the scenerio.

            Almost like there's an implicit lack of rhetoric surrounding the topic. Why is this a sensitive subject?
