Remembering to look for and ignore folks with that telltale indicator has made the fediverse so much more enjoyable.

This is essentially gaslighting. Almost every time I saw a reply that was so out of line toxic was from hexbear. Ex: "disgusting capitalist bootlicker. Kys." under a post saying we should vote for Biden. I can go find these actual words on the post that was titled "get out and vote!" with an image that said "not voting is a vote for trump" if you want.

    Voting for a genocidal imperialist warmonger isn't leftist, so it makes sense that leftists oppose that. I'm not gaslighting, you're kinda proving my point, it's the leftism that's the issue.

    The overwhelming majority of the time people have issues with Hexbear, it's the leftism.

    This is the only thing I am responding to. Almost every comment on the defederation from hexbear thread said it was because of toxicity, not ideology. If a vegan says to someone "kys carnist, crawl into a hole and die," and gets banned, they didn't get banned for being vegan.

    For anyone who actually cares to look at all the people discussing their negative experiences with hexbear users.

    Bonus meme: my identical comment made by someone else on the instance: https://sh.itjust.works/comment/2928583

    Considering the sh.itjust.works user that made that thread in the first place is an incredibly toxic person that runs an anti-communist drama community, is a Zionist, etc, something tells me that the people claiming it's toxic are ones that had strong political disagreements to begin with.
