Why did we care? Lately they've been sending us race scientists and totally-not-crypto-bros. Surprising for an avowedly lefty instance, but the rest are no less annoying.
Hexbear has more than a few tankies. But mostly they're just exhausting.
Any links to the race science or cryptobro nonsense? I ask because that's really surprising; generally /r/cth & hexbear have had essentially the same stance on that shit as /r/sneerclub.
I've been a member of both communities for years, on and off, and I just found this lemmy instance after thinking /r/sneerclub was dead since the API change. Now I'm disappointed to learn that the lemmy versions of my favorite communities from Reddit aren't federated.
it was a hexbear poster posting to groups here. They didn't post that sort of thing to hexbear groups. We banned the poster from here and deleted the local copies of the posts, so you'd have to go digging. You can feel free not to believe it, I'm certainly not spending time going digging.
Would you guys be open to negotiating federation with hexbear, if you could could agree on terms with their admins? I think there is (or was) a considerable overlap in users between the old subreddits.
If not, I guess I can just make another account here.
