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 don’t see why people who want to block hexbear.net don’t just block some communities they don’t like and users they see commenting a lot.

    Since I recently joined this group of people who want to block hb, I reply. First, I'm not subscribed to any hb community, as far as I'm aware. So this option is unavailable to me. The issues I have happen in communities hosted on other instances, with hb users participating.

    What bothers me is the way in which this participation happens. Sometimes the content (offensive, vulgar, dishonest), but mostly the way (edgy). I feel this negatively impacts the non-hb communities I'd like to participate in. Blocking specific users makes me not see them anymore, but it does not undo the damage they do to what I like. It's like looking away when a classmate is being bulied. Feels wrong.
