I jump to the defense of hexbear because, well ... I like them.
They're spicy.
I've seen some truly heinous, ignorant, repugnant shit on here but it's never actually been from hexbear users.
(it's been from lemmygrad users)
hexbear users have been outspoken and unapologetically staunch in defending their positions, but never outright bloodthirsty or antagonistic.
or at least, maybe my sarcasm detection is being more generous than it's supposed to be, and registering false positives...? because to my view I've seen hexbears JOKE about some dark shit, but it never came across as unironically hostile to me.
but anyway, my opinion alone won't sway the outcome. if the consensus forms firmly against hexbear, i'll just have to roll with that outcome. But i'd miss 'em, I would.
Yeah I think your sarcasm detector is being too generous to them.
Here's a link to a thread (specifically a comment about why they federated) where they are talking about a recent rule change in regards to their rules of conduct.
One of the admins response to the comment is pretty telling.
Basically being, "keep doing what you're doing just don't do so in instance meta threads."
Honestly sorting the thread by "top" is also pretty telling on their opions.
Agreed. I feel that hexbear is kinda like 4chan. Some posts are 200 IQ sarcasm, rpfagging or just geniounely schizo.
Although on sopuli.xyz they are banned, but I sometimes checked on the hexbear instance's posts.
