Blocking hexbear.net and lemmygrad.ml improved my experience on the Threadiverse by 90%. Blocking lemmy.ml improved it a further 90%, so yeah, blocking hexbear does so very much. I get that someone who intentionally chooses that should have the right to, which nobody is stopping anyone there, but definitely hexbear, like 4chan, is not for the uninitiated.

    Yeah Hexbear at least from what little I cared to look really did just radiats lefty pol energy. Pointless trolls that were just kinda being annoying and were five irony poisoned in jokes deep that they basically couldn't interact with everyone else functionally. If that's you're vibe fine but it can and will get old for everyone else right fucken quickly.

    They are free to have whatever kind of vibe they want, but yeah their rights should end where mine begin and all of that. Except they don't, as even outside of their local communities they constantly violate the rules of other spaces, then their admins refuse to police them, even going so far as to be caught lying to the admins of other instances.

    At that point, defederation remains the only available option, except even that is not the end of the matter when so many instances choose not to do that. Leaving the vast majority of the moderation burden to be placed upon the end user causes people to flee the Threadiverse like the 4chan-style place that we legitimately are.
