Our little instance is closing to 6 months of operations and it occurs to me I never really asked for some open feedback from our peeps. So I wanted to start a discussion to see your concerns and comments in general. So tell me, in the context of the divisions by zero, what bothers you, what pleases you, what would you like to see improved.
Feel free to share your thoughts about anything.
I think people typically defederate from hexbear due to toxicity, bullying and tankyism rather than the pro-palestinian stance.
First, I would like to thank you for your awesome work !
Not all calls for defederate are caused by their pro-Palestinian stance, the tankyism is likely the reason for a fair bit but some definitely are.
Some users can be toxic but so are users from other instances. They can be easily blocked and a whole instance shouldn't pay the price for the action of some users. I honestly have yet to witness any bullying tho.
In the end, it doesn't really matter anymore since instance blocking is here, everyone will be free to choose.
Oh man, I can link you to my meme about left unity, they attempted to bully me for 2 days straight. I think we exceeded 1k comments overall 😁
My bad then. I am against bullying of any kind. Nothing good ever comes from bullying.
You'll find that the hexbears consider bullying a core praxis
