Just block people you don't want to interact with. My instance isn't even federated with Hexbear but there are still people fitting that description. And plenty of folks there didn't fit that description.
Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected] or [email protected]
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Can't say I've noticed a problem tbh.
Me neither. Of course I have the instance blocked and every user I see comment; so that probably helps.
I just don't get all the anti-hexbear hate I see on other Lemmy servers. Questioning your mainstream/western/capitalist beliefs and arguing about it shouldn't be ground for blocking them. I have yet to see any egregious behavior from them. Sure, I see somewhat outrageous takes on their own hosted communities, but have yet to see them cross the line on other servers.
Questioning your mainstream/western/capitalist beliefs and arguing about it
I wish that's what they actually did. Instead we get 12 year-old Twitch chatters pretending to be wiser than thou punching down

Lucky you!
Tribalism is a hell of a drug, and generally speaking people don't like it when you support fascists that aren't on your team.
That said, I don't think my instance is federated with them so I only see their comments in rare circumstances, and even then half their takes are straight from RT
Because they turn everything into a debate. I don't want to constantly be called a "lib" just because I don't think communism is the solution. These people would turn everything comment section into a warzone, even after I left all political communities. Even meme communities and communities about random unrelated topics became a minefield. I come here to destress and read some interesting stuff about topics I enjoy, not to be piled onto by 5 commies and be called a filthy lib for daring to say anything that doesn't fit their view. I'm left-wing myself, but to them everything to their right is evil. I'm happy I don't see their poison anymore
