Greetings dear lemm.ee folks,

I have noticed an increasing number of lemm.ee users dissatisfied with Hexbearians. Reading through the modlogs on hexbear.net, I have observed truckloads of lemm.ee users being banned on hexbear.net, meaning that they won't see any Hexbearian's reply to them since Hexbearians aren't able to see their comments. Despite this, I have yet to see the complaints from lemm.ee die down. May I politely ask, what is it that makes so many lemm.ee users hate us? And, how can we improve? Thanks!

I humbly request that all parties involved in the comments refrain from using slurs or name-calling to reduce the workload on mods and admins.

    I mean I still don't see anything that bad here, since federation with the rest of lemmy I've had more transphobic shit in my inbox more than in literal years.

      Ok, well... I'm not a transphobe. And ideologically speaking, I think that you and I would probably share many of the same beliefs.

      Despite that, you can see the responses to my posts here from some of the... louder members of your community. These people represent you. They are why several instances have defederated from hexbear. So... that's the combativeness I'm describing.

        So... that's the combativeness I'm describing.

        You came in here passive-aggressively claiming that all the "sane" people are against Hexbear and that the people of Hexbear were "deluded" because they didn't agree with you.

        You're just another ableist crybully. One of you shows up, like, daily.

          I would agree with you, except you and several of your confederates have shown up to provide ample evidence supporting my thesis. So I think that means I'm probably right. We all agree that you lot are delusional and combative.

            You're conjuring up a complete-agreement consensus of everyone unspoken for all agreeing with you that your perceived political enemies are universally delusional. Irony meters are exploding everywhere.

            Yes, we over on Hexbear are beholden to combatting liberalism, reactionaries, racism, transphobia, apologia for cops, landlords, imperialism, capitalism, etc.

            If this makes you uncomfortable that is your problem.

        The pattern I observe is people rolling up and being intentionally shitty to try to provoke a response- you even said as much in another post.

        If people are operating in bad faith have no issue with people dunking on them.

        I'm a communist, I'm used to liberals reacting with horror and stigma to opinions I have. That's honestly what makes a lot of the hexbear complaint threads so interesting.

        I'll go into to other lemmies where people are so offended and look at what they posted and it's usually vile shit that deserved scorn.

          In this thread, one of the members from hexbear asked why people are defederating from them. I answered, and your fellow "hexbearians" were kind enough to chime in in response to my post providing an incredible amount of evidence backing up my answer.

          While most normal people would see a post like mine and just move past it, I've gotten probably about 20 - 25 responses from angry tankies filling up my inbox. And none of them have made anything resembling a point so far.

            It's literally a meta post about us and you are somehow shocked that we show up to explain/defend ourselves?

            How does this prove anything you have asserted?

            If anything it proves how wrong you are.

            I mean it's a post with our instance name in it, makes sense people show up. I'm here because it showed up in my feed and I legit don't understand how people get offended so easily
