As someone who signed up for this instance based on its minimal blocked list, I'd like to know more. Was this targeted harassment by multiple users, bots, or something else?
I signed up here for the same reason, this is worrying.
Swarms of either bots or a dedicated person with multiple accounts posting scat gifs everywhere.
The same kind of account showed up spamming Kbin.social yesterday and admin got it blocked pretty quickly. I haven't seen anything like that so far today. Hopefully it's one dedicated troll and sh.itjust.works can get rid of them soon
block hexbear while you're at it...
it's 99.9% concern trolls pretending to be ultra communist...
e.g. they like to talk about how great North Korea is... even though it's essentially a monarchy and pretty far from any communist philosophy...
everything i've seen from a hexbear account has been extremely negative... sometimes some valid criticism, but almost always it's just anti everything... except the most brutal examples of dictatorships...
I respect and understand your decision, I've personally had to block a few communities from that instance due to their problematic content.
For the sake of transparency (which I feel have been the spirit of this instance so far), could you give us some examples that led up to this decision?
