…by dunking on their user bases
They don’t really bother to hide the fact that their primary reason for existing is trollng and brigading, do they?
Edit: Here is proof that “dunking” is their term for organised brigading, where a hexbear member is posting a comment in another instance on hexbear “if you wanna dunk”.

I mean, did anyone doubt that? There was a post about the Ukranian war not long ago where almost every single comment belonged to hexbear users, but nah, they weren’t brigading at all, it’s just a coincidence that they were the only ones who had anything to say.
Is there a way to just block hexbear? Tankie nonsense almost kept me from trying Lemmy at all, and for the longest time, it’s been good. But recently it’s just tankies everywhere and I’m so over them.
Only way is to join instances that have tankie instances blocked.
Any recommendations?
Lemmy.world
Downside as a Lemmy.world user:
For the last chunk of time I have had zero clue the fuck everyone is talking about. Whats a “hexbear” and whats all the hubbub about?
Hexbear is blocked but all the people complaining about hexbear sure isnt lol
Don’t worry, when more instances block hexbear you won’t hear any mention
It’s better than the alternative. Trust me. I’ve been on an instance that still federates with them till yesterday and they are something else…
- beehaw.org
- sopuli.xyz
- lemmy.blahaj.zone
- feddit.de
- feddit.uk
lemmy.ca as well.
And hopefully sh.itjust.works in the very near future.
Kbin has the ability to block instances wholesale natively
Not yet. What kbin has is domain blocking, for hiding posts that link to a particular domain. It’s also buggy right now, and will just hide random stuff from you.
It’s frustrating to find a post leading to hexbear, question whether I accidentally unblocked hexbear, and find it still blocked. I appreciate the dev immeasurably, but dang it if I don’t occasionally think “darn that guy and his probably very adequate face.”
Isn’t being an alpha tester fun? :D
How do I do this? For some reason I’m unable to block individual hex users, and I’m honestly done enough with them to risk accidentally missing out on something else…
https://kbin.social/d/hexbear.net is the domain page.
Amazing, thank you!
Some clients let you, ‘connect for lemmy’ lets you hide posts and comments from specific instances.
Bad take. If u block em nobody is pushing them back. We can’t let them open the door of acceptability.

Using sex workers as a misogynist analogy for political affiliation is bad.
FTR, Putin and Russian Fascism is bad too.
Since when is “bitch” a term for a sex worker. Also you missed the speciesism.
I am talking about the sexualisation of the political work, as bad as it is, not the word. Isn’t ‘bitch’ in that context a word heavily charged with sexualisation?
Ok let me try to break it down, and it’s necessarily a two-pronged approach:
First, bitch means a female dog, which is then used for women in the sense of bad-tempered, or semi-affectionate as “my bitch”. The one who gets fucked, less politely in the plural “bitches” among insecure men referring to women rolling their eyes at them.
Secondly, there’s the meaning of to fuck itself, which can mean sexual intercourse but also things like to mess with, to fuck something up, etc. Very versatile.
Which then expands the meaning of bitch to also mean people that are subservient to you, that you can, precisely, fuck with, fuck over, and they can’t even tell you to get fucked – if they were in that position they wouldn’t be your bitch.
Now that’s the point where one could make connections to misogyny and even prison rape but a bitch is not necessarily, and not generally, unwilling to be fucked: The reason conservatives can’t stop themselves from sucking Putin’s dick isn’t that he’s so powerful they can’t refuse, it’s that they love him so much they even overcome their homophobia to do it. Minus the homophobia part just like your mom’s reaction to my dick (SCNR).
In any case it’s insulting to dogs to compare them with conservatives. They may be loyal to a fault and always looking for someone to look up to but unlike conservatives they do have a heart capable of love.
Literally no, lol.
A “bitch” is an unpregnant female dog.

Lemmy is already like, 80% anti-capitalist.
I would say they’re preaching to the choir here, but this is far more obnoxious than preaching.
The Bolshevists wanted to kill the Mensheviks, though they were both against the capitalists. It ain’t all peace and kindness on the Left
Left Unity until I say the revolution ends.
Ive seen dozens of hexbear and lemmygrad users post unironically that lefties that dont support Lenin and killing any and all capitalists also deserve to be murdered.
Hexbears users are all either trolls, pro russian and china fascism or both. They don’t add any kind of value to the fediverse.
Arrogant and self-important. Not sure why they think people want a bunch of assholes around.
Obviously you haven’t heard about the GLORIOUS ideology of Marxism-Leninism. Allow me to educate you, comrade! /s
Wow, that’s exactly what so many hexbear users have said to me too!
So weird how they’re brigading ever other post mentioning them but remaining suspiciously quiet on this one.
Haha, nooo, not suspicious at all! Lemmy.world has hexbear defederated, they can’t access this thread.
Ahh gotcha, in that case I may never leave…
I bet they have a bunch of alts on each instance.
they do, yeah.
“Emotonal labor” is a funny way to describe being a keyboard warrior.
The first rule of coup is ‘dont talk about coup’.
I thought a tankie would know this.
If only those MLs understood that by forcing themselves on the public square most people will reject them, and with them the concept of socialism as a whole…
I’m still not convinced that a sizeable chunk of tankies aren’t right wing false flag types trying to make anything other than the capitalism we’re all dealing with seem reasonable in comparison to the authoritarianism they peddle
Correct. Because that’s exactly what they make people feel like and if we were actual idiots we would fall for it. Instead they’re just insufferable trolls. Fuck them.
They don’t actually care about any ideology. They’re 100% trolls.
That’s very obviously trolling and shitposting, not sure why anyone would read that thinking it’s an actual serious post
We’re definitely deep into Poe’s law territory.
Can’t make that assumption these days given that Trump, flat earthers and all the other bullshit we’re dealing with that seemed like a joke until it wasn’t
that’s a lot for a troll to type out.

“mister pingpong”? Racist piece of shit shows his ass for everyone to see. Maybe one of your buddies will try to cover for you by rushing in to say “he meant fuck the CCP!!!”
I meant fuck the CCP
bragging about carpal tunnel isn’t really a hot suite
Typing with more than two fingers causes carpal tunnel?
Absolutely shit posting, and pretty good work as shit posting goes. It’s very strange that people seem to not pick up on that, it’s not exactly subtle. “Perform a coup on other moderation teams”"? Come on now, obvious shit post.

This is one brand of their typical users. The sooner everyone realizes they have nothing to offer, the better. Everyone needs to defed with hexbear.
What’s really wild and astounding to me is any of them that might actually not be just trolls. Like, how do you not recognize you’re the bad guys when everyone hates you for what you’re doing to them?
Have you never met a narcissist in real life before?
Do non-hexbear people even post on hexbear? If so, why the hell do you torture yourself?
I post on hexbear, or did until they defederated.
