I actually don’t mind hexbears and lemmygrad.ml. It is a good reminder to have that just like the world, the internet is filled with shitty people/beliefs. Makes it easier to take the things you see with a grain of salt. I don’t want an echo chamber.
The only problem I have with them is that they sound like MAGA idiots with their “liberal” bullshit. I get irrationally irritated every time I see one of those posts. I’m still not entirely convinced that they’re not just MAGA hats pretending to be communists to make actual communists look bad.
Thank you admins. This is an important step towards a viable fediverse.
I couldn’t fucking care less. If I want to see their edgelord circle jerk bullshit I’ll create an account on the instance. No one is being silenced. They can spew their bullshit to their hearts content and no one is being prevented from listening who wants to. The people who are pissing and moaning are just whining because they can’t force everyone to listen anymore like they could on Reddit and that isn’t any fun.
Lemmy is federated. No one can stop anyone from listening to what they want to listen to and no one can force you to listen to intentionally annoying edgelords if you don’t want to.
Now quit your fucking and get on with your lives.
As a sh.itjust.works user I’m surprised this wasn’t already the case
