    Probably pivot my time and effort into general promotion of the Lemmy-verse. Kinda hard these days when, inevitably, someone is going to come in and ask “Isn’t that the place that’s full of tankies?”

    An anecdote I’ve shared before a time or two on my lemm.ee account was that I almost quit Lemmy specifically because of how insufferable the Hexbears were.

    I can’t speak to whether keeping me around was good, but I genuinely only remained because I learned how to block the instance.

      If you every want, https://lemmy.cafe/ blocks Hexbear, Grad, and ML while federating with everyone else.

      Also I think Piefed lets you block all users in an instance even if that instance is technically federated.

        Very few, considering you’re one of maybe two people I’ve seen complaining about it. cm0002 is doing good for the platform.

          I mean, that’s your opinion on the side that upvotes this dumb shit. Over on the tanky side you see just as many up votes and downvotes. It’s like when a bunch of rich people move into a neighborhood next to a methadone clinic and wanted it shut down cause they hate all the dirty people around.

          You aren’t fighting fascists, you’re in a flame war with a bunch of other people who disagree. This constant public fighting is childish.
