How bad are these that Hexbear didn't even make the list? Drilling through on the clickable version here makes it clear that the #1, poa.st, has the same basic content as Hexbear, but I'm assuming it's somehow way worse. Just imagine.

they're neo nazi pedophiles iirc and in the brief time i was on a fedi instance federated with them i saw one of them trying to goad a trans person i knew with suicidal tendencies to kill herself because he thought it would be funny. like its so many orders of magnitude worst its just completely stupid to compare them at all. Like here's some of the defed reasons from the top of the incredibly long list of instances that have defedded it:

Nazi content
Racism
antisemitism, racism, homophobia
Nationalsozialistisches Gedankengut
Hate speech
racist slurs, anti-semitic stuff, etc
Nazisme, Transphobie, Racisme, Antisemitisme
Admins are having Nazi symbolics in their profile
racism, pedophilia, harassment
Serveur d'extrême droite / Néonazi
Repeated harassment targetting specific users
Transphobia, Hate Speech, Nazi Symbology. Lack of Moderation.
Homophobia, transphobia
Hosting neonazis
transphobia / homophobia / racism / queerphobia / nazi combo instance

Maybe it's been a while but last I checked in the admin of poa.st was bragging about being homophobic

hexbear isn't even malicious. hexbear is spicy at best. not nearly as bad as lemmygrad, which is outright repugnant in its overt hostility. hexbear users are at least CAPABLE of communicating, whereas in my experience lemmygrad users pull the animal farm squealer move and defecate on the floor before storming out.

"Naw guys, the tankie platform is fine I promise. Please let ~~us~~ them harass everyone again. ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ"

How did Hexbear ever harass everyone here? Lemmy.world never even federated with them for a second.

[–] Leate_Wonceslace@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You're misunderstanding what I mean. .world's advent marked a paradigm shift where .ml was no longer the "default" lemmy instance. So long as hexbear was federated with the "default" lemmy instance, they were able to inflict their insanity on everyone else. Now .world provides a large part of lemmy insulation against them.

[–] PM_Your_Nudes_Please@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Yeah, every now and then I hop over to an account on another instance, and immediately remember why I tend to hang out on .world…

.world isn’t perfect, but holy hell some of the other instances are just buried in tankie BS.

Hexbear suffers from the nazi bar problem, they're not ALL tankies, but they sure do hang out with a lot of them

I just don't have the time to sus out who's who and it's much easier (and less massive-shock-image-spamming) to use an instance that's defederated with them

Some of those instance names are, uh, interesting.

I feel like I might be put on a FBI list for reading this.

[–] clearedtoland@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

I visited a few out of mindless curiosity and ignorance. I have no idea wtf I read and now the FBI is after me…

sign up to a non pedo instance that list and you'll actually see and talk about stuff instead of having a leftoid circle jerk.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 1 points 4 months ago

Yeah, lovely conversations about how jews control the world, how non-whites are destroying the world, how "certain people" being genocided wouldn't be bad
