After my crime of calling some of them "obnoxious", I'm over it.

Go ahead and read it over.

Very little good can come from interacting, as the majority are not at all interested in civility or good-faith discussion.

It is a troll instance! That's not a joke!

Also: the fact that Hexbear users are making a point to go tone-policing after calling anyone who makes even the slightest criticism against them "racist" and "ableist" should tip y'all off that Hexbear is almost purely a troll instance.

You present needing tone indicators as a negative.

I understand that this is bait and definitely not good-faith, but I'll bite anyway.

Because I know that a lot of Lemmy users are ND, and, being ND myself, I wanted to emphasize the need for my tone to be understood by everyone.

Didn't realize it could even be viewed as a "negative" until you said something.

Hey, Hexbear users? Can y'all send in a better representative to do damage control?

I really want to like y'all, but damn.

Have you browsed Hexbear? This ain't trolling. It's very much genuine.

If it is trolling, then it's just an entire instance posting an inside joke and then pointing and laughing at the people not in-the-know who don't "get it."

It's not clever.

Mate. That's not the obnoxious part. Posts like this are the obnoxious part.

I don't mind the general hexbear ideology in itself. Sure. You do you.

But, damn, I see more than a few of its members just being obnoxious.
