Sorry (🍁) we did this without making a post, but after receiving several complaints we defederated from hexbear.net yesterday.

Here’s a few quick examples of poor conduct by hexbear users:

They warned their users to behave themselves, but that didn’t work: https://hexbear.net/post/280770?scrollToComments=false

Posting the western atrocity propaganda and pig poop balls is hilarious but will pretty quickly get you banned and if enough of us do it defederated.

    Always open to reconsidering things. Can you give some examples of the content you’re missing?

    Tbh when I go look at their local feed it just seems like all shitposts

      For example, c/food is the best general population food forum I’ve ever seen for my particular needs. A lot of the non-vegan parts of the site is not just tolerant but considerate to vegans. That’s frigging unheard of. I don’t know what the big deal with shit posters is, but that is hardly the only or defining feature of the culture.

      I feel like if you wade into a community you’re not a member of and don’t understand looking for shit posts, a lot of things are going to look like shit posts.
