How cringe can they be if you have to ask for an instance instead of just noticing it yourself?

Nazi Bar Lemmy World… oof hot take. We were the first to defederate with exploding-heads.com (when they were still online). But we’re not keen on tankies either, which made you very mad and you got banned :(
removed by mod
Not really. You know a modlog is public right?
Go be white somewhere else
Yes I am, because unlike your genocidal ideology, the “tankies” are actually on the right side of history. Anticommunism is indistinguishable from profascism.
Yes it me again, and I’m going to continue calling out problematic shit when I see it. Silencing tactics don’t work on me because i’m morally in the right and know it. This combined with your reaction to my other post proves that your siding with nazism goes more than passive and i’m not going to just sit around and watch as you influence the culture of Lemmy towards fascism.
Put a little nazi armband on the Ukrainian then add NATO pouring gasoline all over the meme and it sums up the situation right now.
And then more recent ones, first page of your comments - calls for violence:
God I can’t wait until these sacks of shit fry.
Typical tankie behavior I’d say
Hahahaha that’s incredible. What an absolute spanner.
TBF, that is a pretty insane statement. I wouldn’t ban you for that alone, but eventually I would probably tire of your intellectually and morally bankrupt insistence on dividing the world into communist vs fascist.
It’s absolute tripe. No one can be blamed for not wishing to waste their time in reading such drivel. The world is not black and white. There are no real binaries in reality, only in theory.

Aren’t you honestly doing the same?
Shhh. That doesn’t play into their angry narrative.
They think they’re on some vanguard of a revolution posting memes. It’s pretty funny
Not being a tankie doesn’t make you a lib.

A tankie ready to take being wrong and angry forever to their grave? Shock.
As a tankie, who should you vote for in the 2025 election?
let’s see
- stans russia
- believes the state should be politicized and use force to suppress opposition
- protectionist
- anti-globalist
- authoritarian
- likes strongmen leaders
*looks at candidate field*
Favourite colour is orange?
“You deserve Trump because you blocked me on Lemmy!!”
I swear sometimes this platforms unites Twitter and Reddit behaviour in an unholy mix
Have I perhaps hit a nerve with you?
No one asked you to scream loudly “I am a tankie piece of shit” but you did it anyway
This is literally the tankie way.

You should block FauxBait@lemmynsfw.com among other child fetish communities.
deleted by creator
tankie sound pretty cute tbh
You can do that on Lemmy? I thought it was a thing only Kbin had until now
The most correct answer possible.
I might switch front ends just for this feature.I’ll never block hexbear tho <3 luv my spicey leftie friendos
(Even though they more often than not seem to hate my guts XD)
Why do you block lemmygrad but not hexbear??
hexbear users aren’t as repugnant. simple as.
lemmygrad is proudly ignorant and not even interested in honest discourse.
Hexbear, meanwhile, will actually engage in a discussion, make concessions, provide actual evidence for their claims.
I can actually learn shit, useful shit, from Hexbear. Lemmygrad is a vacuous hole where information goes to die.
Hexbear users are also, generally, more fun to talk to, have a better sense of humor.
Lemmygrad users, meanwhile, have demonstrated to me a pattern of being joyless hate-geysers.
What’s a tankie?
Fuckin’ hilarious how quick tankies become obsessed with avoiding echo chambers when on their own communities they have a ban policy of "anything to the right of unironically calling Stalin Daddy."
To actually answer the question, lemmygrad.ml and hexbear will remove most of the redfash content, but you’ll still need to be vigilant for individual users to block. Also, blocking users doesn’t prevent them from posting on your shit, just stops you from being notified or being able to see it, AFAIK Boost doesn’t have defederation for individual users so you’d need to do that over browser.
This comment brought to you by the absolute right to curate who is in your social orbit, same as in real life ya platform obsessed whingers.

I’m downvoting you for not knowing the difference between communists and tankies.
And I’m neither.
removed by mod
Bullshit. You’re just falling for one of them parroting phrases from the other, while taking the polar opposite actions.
Alot of things are a “cancer” on lemmy in my opinion.
My opinion on the subject is
I’m personally a believer in freedom of speech so If these extreme left wing folk want go go off galbanting about all that shite that’s all fine n dandy prehaps lemmy.world may benefit from being more pro freedom of speech prehaps not that’s not for me to decide it’s upto the instance owner
Also, blocking users doesn’t prevent them from posting on your shit,
Good… On a forum based platform it’s better to not restrict people’s ability to respond to things, as it can help combat people’s ability to block those arguing with them right after making easily counterable points to prevent decent comebacks
Remember blocking on Reddit? It made it so you couldn’t reply to anything in the chain. So if someone different replied to you you wouldn’t be able to reply to them even though they aren’t who blocked you.
That was a recent change, and one for the worse. Part of the reason I’m using lemmy as well now that boost is functioning for it
It’s a nightmare for harassment though, treating all blocking as a sissy snowflake shield renders it essentially useless for circumstances where the other user is really malicious.
In that case having a system like Mastodon’s that locks them out of Replying is better than simply covering them up. We can’t really rely on Instance admins to block all malicious users or defederate from all malicious platforms so there needs to be a certain level of protection from the user’s side.
I do think that Blocking and Restricting (preventing a user from interacting) should be different functions, you block communities and users because you don’t want to see them, but you restrict users because they are hostile, malicious, or make bad-faith arguments.
Nah, your right to keep debating ends when someone else decide’s they’re not a platform for further discussion.
No longer being able to reply to the blocker, and ideally not even being able to see the blocker is the ideal, and both the blocker and the blockee should need to agree to reopen contact for the block to go down.
Like a restraining order, stops the original blocker from raising and lowering it at will as a harassment tactic.
Lemmy.world, Hexbear…
Also possible on Connect
Lemmy.world??
Yes
By removing lemmy.world you remove half of Lemmy’s content. Bad idea
Also formula1 is there
Most of it is trash and Lemmy.world becomes a walled garden.

Yep sounds like a total not-idiot to me!
Exactly. Its basically the reddit of lemmy, and the admins are assholes.
🫶
I haven’t heard of the lemmy.world admins doing much besides defederating from a few instances. Why do you feel that way about them?
I have my reasons.
And they are worse than reddit mods with their behavior. They usually use dummy accounts.
Just look into the modlog for a while.
Also they are antisemitic and have no fucking knowledge about how lemmy works, thinking they can IP ban users from other instances and similar things like harassing other instance admins and users with several accounts.
I have a personal problem with these assholes.
We are antisematic? We harass other instance admins? IP bans don’t even make sense on Lemmy due to federation and you can not get the IP of posters on another instance.
You are so full of it. We are in good contact with most if not all instances and their admins.
The only truthful thing you said is that it is personal.
I permabanned your account on Lemmy World so you don’t have to get triggered anymore by the ‘shit admins’.
Edit: this account is an alt of
. Moderator over at Loli/pedo instance burggit.moe which is why he didn’t want to give me his main account when asked.
Im not active on your instance.
Also what is my “main account”?
He just admitted it is personal in his reply below. None of the things he mentions here are factual. We are in good contact with the admins on most if not all instances. Even some of those we defederated with.
deleted by creator
What other account?
the admins defedded from hex without letting their users having their own choice. I mean can’t they refederate now and let users just block instances they choose? Hexbear gives that choice. People defederate from them, not the other way around.
Defederating hexbear is likely a legal thing as they spread antisemitism to a extent that its illegal in most countries.
I have only seen hexbear explicitly condemn anti semitism and do not consider jewishness to be any factor in the current conflict
their position is that zionism is a far right ideology created by fascists to justify the construction of a colonial state, not for any true need of jews. Zionism is not Jewish, it is using jews to perpetuate settler colonialism.
I have no problem with Tankie takes on Israel. They see this side clearly. My problem is when your favorite youtubers and twitter lefties are saying “Hamas is good actually, and Israeli Settlers deserve it” like for fucks sake. Tankies call for violence more than they call for leftist solutions.
And thats obviously wrong. There are a fuck load of hexbears being very clear about their wish for Israels destruction…
You guys defederating from Lemmy.nz in a fit though, not the other way around.
141 comments in 7 hours. Damn who pissed in your cereal

And by removing hexbear you remove the other half
Hexbear is nowhere close to half of Lemmy. Even the trio of Hexbear, Lemmygrad, and Lemmy.ml are a small, angry chunk.
deleted by creator
Hexbear activity seems to have dropped significantly since no one wants to be federated with them. Most of the users now lurk in other instances.
Huh? I haven’t seen that at all. They existed for years before there were all these instances, they weren’t even federated. They’d survive just as well on their own even if every instance blocked them.
lol the instance that went unfederated for three years needs federation to be active okay
removed by mod

Lol my instance has never been defederated from hexbear, which is, I’m guessing, why you signed up for lemm.ee also. I was mainly referring to hexbear activity outside of their own instance - even in instances that hexbear is still federated with, I see fewer hexbear comments than before they were defederated by world and SJW. Instead, I see new users from instances still federated with hexbear (eg lemmy.ml) talking like hexbear users.
More than anything, the thing that annoys me most about hexbear is the double standards. They claim to be open for discussion, but the majority of users are not, they behave childishly. The moderators are often far worse. Many posts openly encourage brigading, rather than just discussing an image of someone’s comment they want to criticise, they keep the username in and sometimes even include direct links.
Lemm.ee is a lovely place run by a top admin who really knows his stuff (he introduces new features early but also only when they work, and he was key in helping with some of the major issues that affected other intances, even though his instance was immune to begin with). I’m a little wary of hexbear infiltration but accept it, because that’s what having an open and widely federated instance is all about.
I seem to notice a lot of discussions about Hexbear. Since my instance preemptively defederated from you, I have some questions. What is the objective/goal of Hexbear? Currently, I kinda feel old 4chan trolling vibes.
Sanest hexbear user
Do you guys ever even hear yourselves? It’s almost impossible to mock you because it would be indistinguishable from the actual nonsense you come up with.
Stick to the echo chamber.
What’s nonsense about that comment?

Yes ofcourse we defederated preemptively from Hexbear. You can make an account there no need for you on LW

I don’t block instances. I block communities and users. An instance is too large a group of people. They’re not a monolith. Some people on hexbear are garbage and some are not. Some topics encourage jerks, some do not.
Hexbear say what?
unpopular opinion time: hexbear isn’t that bad. I’ve had to block a few communities, but I do that with any instance. I’ve had to block more on hexbear, but it’s not a ton. I’ve had to block more people on hexbear than other instances, but it’s not that bad. I appreciate their different viewpoints. I don’t like echo chambers and I learn a lot.
You had them respond with LIB and big poop pictures again and again?
Yes, lol. I block every ppb I see whether they’re talking to me or not.
you’re blocking the some of the best posters if you do that though
If someone posts literal shit, they’re not worth my attention.
It’s generally posted in response to the literal shit right wingers put into words though, is it having the depiction which is so upsetting?
I have a similar experience. However, I feel that they have been getting a bit more argumentative in the last months (or maybe the argumentative voices are getting louder). I really appreciate how aggressively they defend our trans brothers, sisters, and enbies but, there seems to be a lot more focus on “dunking” than community building or discussions. Also, they’re at times quick to pull out the torches, rather than clarify and not always successful at preventing leftist sectarianism.
That said, by blocking problematic or unhealthily rage-inducing communities and users, I tend to get on alright in about 90% of interactions and learn a bit, from time to time, even if it’s not what’s intentionally taught (the commonality of historical revisionist takes in sectarian topics, for example).
Thats what a hexbear would say…
At a point the garbage to quality ratio gets too high to do that. Yeah, I’m sure some decent folks get blocked when you block a whole instance, but there’s plenty of other people in non shithole instances to more than make up for it. I just use whichever method is most efficient at cleaning up my feed at the time.
True. The good/bad ratio matters and is very subjective. I guess I have a larger tolerance than most.
Honestly, on .world I never see any except for users on the actual posts, so block whatever they’re blocking.
Via browser, add ‘/instances’ to the URL of your instance. It will tell you what you can reach and what is already blocked
You as a user cant block instances on lemmy itself right now
I know that, I am just saying its mostly not necessary as most of the work has been done for you
Not on instances that just don’t block anything.
Of course, but since OP has sent it from blahaj.zone it on its own blocks some common ones.
Shure but sometimes you need to block more for your own sake.
Yesterday I blocked politics, worldnews, and similar. Feed was becoming nasty, depressing, everyone arguing, complaining, criticizing, trolls, strawmen. Literally people saying it all sucks, nothing matters, everybody’s a liar, there is no point, why bother…
Since blocking, way better experience on lemmy.
