Greetings dear lemm.ee folks,
I have noticed an increasing number of lemm.ee users dissatisfied with Hexbearians. Reading through the modlogs on hexbear.net, I have observed truckloads of lemm.ee users being banned on hexbear.net, meaning that they won’t see any Hexbearian’s reply to them since Hexbearians aren’t able to see their comments. Despite this, I have yet to see the complaints from lemm.ee die down. May I politely ask, what is it that makes so many lemm.ee users hate us? And, how can we improve? Thanks!
I humbly request that all parties involved in the comments refrain from using slurs or name-calling to reduce the workload on mods and admins.
I disagree with the characterization of Hexbear as being trolls. A bunch of people disagreeing with you in an argument isn’t trolling, if they were following you to other comments or sending you threatening DMs and shit now that’s a different story.
I never said people disagreeing with me is trolling. I’m quite aware of what trolling actually is. And I find interesting how that “people disagreeing with you is not trolling” line gets said so often by people of that instance. Trolling is trolling.
to save us all the time, we had this discussion a month ago, in which is OPs first interaction with our instance.
This post feels like bait tbh
just realized the irony of “save us all the time” and linking a 500 comment post. My bad, just meant to say this is old news and feels like cheap drama
I think this sums it up pretty well. We have a sort of organic party line and a tendency to back each other up when we see folks in the posting trenches.
Really it’s just solidarity forged out of years of being assailed on all sides by liberals and fascists.
If any critique I would level against our community is that occasionally this siege mentality can result in friendly fire, but most often those instances get cleared up pretty quickly since we also take self-crit very seriously.
Ayyy it me :)

I’m sorry, but your post makes it sound like that’s what you’re saying. Either that or you consider pithy, dismissive responses (ie “cope and seethe” or PPB) to be trolling, which I also disagree with.
I know you won’t see this, but how are the pithy, dismissive responses not trolling? Those replies are exactly trolling.
I don’t know how to break it to you that like 99% of people think using pithy, dismissive responses is bonafide asshole behaviour, and that’s why nobody wants to talk to you guys.
Your “instance culture” is just being a bunch of assholes. This is why everyone defederates you.
What? Ppb, rent free stuff is absolutely trolling.
" In slang, a troll is a person who posts or makes inflammatory, insincere, digressive, extraneous, or off-topic messages online or in real life, with the intent of provoking others into displaying emotional responses, or manipulating others’ perception, thus acting as a bully or a provocateur. "
It’s literally trying to dismiss or detail the conversation, or illicit frustration out of the recipient. It’s used when they don’t care for the discussion.
Replying with your instance’s precious ppb is trolling, you fucking apologist.
But he didn’t lament disagreement. He was very clear about the stuff he thinks is trolling.
Why are you pretending you didn’t read his comment? It’s literally right there. We can all see it. Pictures of shit isn’t disagreement. It’s trolling.
Dude your neighbors do that shit to everyone constantly
