I don’t like to see so many political posts in all and so many weird images in comment sections

I made a post like this on my old instance's main community and it got flooded by 400+ hexbear comments telling me how stupid I am. No, the only real solution is to make a new account on an instance that's defederated. Good luck.

    What instances would you recommend? I don’t really want to leave mine since I’ve been on it for awhile but if it gets too annoying I might want to

    Blahaj.zone is defederated (hexbear did it first surprisingly). It's a very LGBTQ+ oriented place so I'm not sure it's your cup of tea

    It seems like a very nice place, I’ll be sure to check it out some more

    I find that interesting because i am banned from blahaj for being a conservative but hexbears swear im a white liberal. I would have thought hexbears and blahaj would get along nicely

    When they call you a liberal, they're referring to the classical meaning of the term rather than the newer definitions.

    They are saying I advocate free market and laissez-faire economics, civil liberties under the rule of law, with special emphasis on individual autonomy, limited government, economic freedom, political freedom and freedom of speech. Is that right? As opposed to what

    Sorry you are right. I only associate 196 with blahaj so me being banned there makes me not have any reason to be at blahaj. I was one of the lucky few that was given a 2 year ban. The reason was "stirring up trouble tankie style"

    If you don't want to move instances, you can probably reduce 99% of annoying Hexbear shitposts by blocking just 3 communities:

    They're by far the noisiest, in my experience.
