9 hours later, reading through this whole thread, has it changed your opinion? Because about 80% of the comments are from hexbear users generally being shitheads.
Is that what you want the newcomer experience to be?
“Just build a block list of a couple dozen communities and a few hundred @hexbear accounts and then it’s not so bad!” isn’t something a newbie is going to put up with.
Socialism is a single party system. All other parties have to go. That’re core to the philosophy.
Please keep it up, it’ll make defederating an easier decision.
What part of “toxic shitposters with toxic mods should be defederated” is “red scare”?
The posts from Hexbear accounts in this thread is exactly why they should be defederated. Can’t have any thread without them shitting in it.
Your instance has replaced
“removed (by the people who moderate this sub)” with “removed liberal”
Which is sad and pathetic.
Which doesn’t help for web users.
It’s run by Linus Sebastian, not Torvalds. Torvalds wouldn’t have a youtube like that.
This. This is very tame example of why they should be defederated.
In case I wasn’t clear: Defederate the propaganda spewing, “alternative facts” trolls or at least make them as such.
Until they have the native tools to let me, as a user, block the entire instance I’m with you. Until then defederation is the only way to make “All” even bearable.
Should I stop contributing, leave, and come back in a few months to see if those tools have been made? Because that’s a much preferable alternative than wading through so much shitposting blocking one community or user at a time. And I still see the effect of their votes.
If this is going to drive away people who have been here what do you think it’ll do to newcomers? Do you think people will really want to join somewhere where every top post is full of tankies?
Besides it’s not like they’re posting in good faith. They’re not there for an honest conversation. They are ChapoTrapHouse and they don’t deserve the benefit of the doubt. They are 100% trolls.
Hexbear is making Lemmy unbearable for me. There’s no function for a user to block everything from a server. I don’t want to see their communities, their users, their posts, their messages, or their votes showing up.
I block communities as they come up, I block individuals as they post, but it’s never ending.
Every popular post is over-run with tankies shitposting, grinding real conversation to a halt.
They’re not people open to having a conversation in good faith. They’re ChapoTrapHouse shitposters who got kicked off reddit for being pro-violence shitposters.
Their Moderation Policy is incompatible with ours, as they allow hate speech as long as it’s directed towards the “right” people.
A first timer looking would see 90% tankie crap and would leave and not come back.
I’ve contributed less since they were joined simply because I don’t want a herd of tankies yelling at me with nobody else even reading it.
Until such a time that I, as a user, can bock everything from a server I support defederation. Or at the very least put a giant poop emoji next to everything from that server so it’s easier to skip. They seem to like poop.
A billionaire will implode going to look for it.
When Musk bought “Tesla” it was two guys and an idea. It’s bigger now.
because a bit faster short term
Waaaaaaay more than “a bit”. Like “imperceptible render time” vs 2s for firefox. That adds up a lot.
is worth sacrificing you freedom long term?
What freedom did I lose? I used chromium mostly.
Firefox has performance now, where it did’t in the past. So I don’t use chrome now.
See, I use the best tool for the job I can find, and that changes over time. For a while the was Chrome.
*“A customer says that someone on the phone said ‘a drone picture’ and the company denies it, saying they use other imaging.” * Customer could be mistaken, whoever was on the phone may not know that “drone” covers things from 737 Recon Drone to a $10 aliexpress quadcopter.
I’ll bet $50 it was either a high altitude drone or a satellite image bought from an imaging company, as they’ve been doing for at least 20 years, and not some quadcopter flying just above his yard.
Please think before commenting.
People downvote things they don’t want to be true.
It’s strange. It doesn’t work that way.
(such as Capitol Hill)
Is that related to Cypress Hill?
Private more up-to-date sources aren’t very expensive.
edit: An example
hexbear users are signing up on lemm.ee so they can continue to post in communities that defederated from them.
These accounts should be banned as they’re clearly malicious actors abusing communities that had already banned them. Ban evasion.
