Fash and tankies aren't what I want to see in my feed, and I'm fairly sure there were a large number of (ShJW member) comments saying exactly that in the defederate exploding heads thread

After the painfully long time it took to deal with the defederate vote for exploding heads and imaqtpie's post on hexbear federating yesterday I doubt we're defederating, so I'll go find somewhere else to hang out. Lemmy world has blocked them according to another poster.

I've been on internet communities since the days of dialup BBS' and there's a really simple pattern. A swarm of bright eyed ideologues descends then every conversation becomes about their cause whether you like it or nor. I've watched the locusts swarm in and ruin so many communities it's a lay down misere what happens next.

No one has their politics changed by an online missionary it just annoys the recipents of the preaching and gives a little triumphant glow to the proselytiser "I told them the only one truth. MY truth"

As for the "just block them" proponents - that doesnt work where it's a swarm. It only works if it's a small number, because the swarm crowds out all other conversation killing the community.

Defederate hexbear. They're no different to Lemmygrad. Tankies and fash shouldn't be allowed at the table. They operate in bad faith.

Won't be responding to any HB comments so rollout your usual insults (we saw your methods in the thread yesterday). I won't be reading them
