hexbear just decided to federate with shi.itjust.works so before you were only seeing content specifically posted on instances that federate with both, like lemmy.ml, now you're actually seeing posts made to their comms

[-] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago

Thank you by the way. I appreciate the response and explanation.

[-] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

So all will be half hexbear from now on? I might need to switch instances to one that's defederated or stop using all. These are obnoxious.

[-] envis10n@lemm.ee 22 points 1 year ago

You can literally block the community. Or use your finger to scroll past it. No one is forcing you to engage with posts. Does it hurt being that dumb?

[-] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Your instance has a ton of communities and we can't blocked instances yet. But I'll see how many and probably just block the communities.

[-] envis10n@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago

I'm a lemm.ee user, not a hexbear user. If you really don't like seeing hexbear content, stop browsing All and instead use Local. Or, again, just block the communities that keep pissing in your Cheerios.

[-] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Sorry, most of the responses were hex bear. I'll try and block, because local doesn't have most of the good things.

[-] envis10n@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Local is communities that you are subscribed to, which means you cater your own feed. Subscribe to communities you like and use local to filter out shit you don't want to see. Otherwise, again, just scroll by or block. It's really simple

I heard this new instance called reddit.com is defederated from us, why don't you join them?

[-] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Because their content is trash now, all the good posters are over here. I think .world defeded with you? Or .ml? Anyway I guess that's a positive now.

[-] Flinch@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago

not only did .ml not defederate from us, it's creators agree with us. Enjoy your stay! mao-wave

[-] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Which one was it then? I think .world did and I thought there were one or two other big ones.

[-] iie@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

world and beehaw both defederated us, and both tried to claim it was for hate speech, which was so absurd that even their own users who hated us pointed out it was bullshit

This motherfucker thinks he's less embarrassing than a Redditor. Hilarious. Anyhow, you can say "Thank You" for the Hexbear explaining your own social media platform to you, because, as always, they'll need to explain the things that go on which you have no idea of their cause. At least this one you might actually accept as true.

I used to be a Redditer, I'm sure you were too.

OP or the Redditors? I think I did thank OP, but if not I'll go back and do it.

[-] ImOnADiet@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

just block their comms it's pretty easy tbh they've only got like 50 of them max and of those probably only 20 are super active so it shouldn't be that hard

[-] ChapoKrautHaus@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

just block their comms

It's only this thread that made me learn comm means community. I always assumed it had to mean something like communications and I was wondering how one would block that.

Thanks to the lemmy libs, I guess!

[-] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah I'll do that. Thanks. If they start new ones though it will be annoying.
