On jlai.lu :

Some of hexbear supporter denying being part of an attack without any apologies :

If they keep their attitude they’ll be kicked off most instances, generally they won’t be able to circlejerk so after a while I’d expect them to self-isolate again.
You’re probably right. Case in point: Linkerbaan was eventually banned, although it did take a long time.
The opinions on this were interesting. My simplified take: One person thinks it’s even worse than I thought. One person thinks it’s not going to be a problem in the first place. And 3 persons think that it’s a problem that will resolve itself, so no reason to worry.
