  Oh now I understand, thanks for giving me extra details! :) However, looking at the website you provided it seems like in only the last 2 months this community grew by over 9k (from 11,838 to 21,178 to be specific). We became the second most active instance in the whole of Lemmy

  I’m sorry but I’m a bit confused by your comment because the link had more details about the server itself. I feel like I’m missing the correlation with my post

  “lmao you got that mad about being called a little baby for being a little baby? Grow thicker skin or learn to self crit ffs.”

  Seeing your replies, I highly doubt anything anyone could say to you would not warrant a personal attack. You clearly like to think of yourself as someone who’s open and willing to debate since you wrote:

  “I choose to interact with these types in a more interrogative manner”

  But you’re not. You’re just waiting in bad faith for extra ammunition to call people baby, fascist, or people unworthy of having opinions . You don’t even know my political leanings, but just because I’m not a part of your group, that’s reason enough for you (and other people of that instance) to pile on and mercilessly troll on other users.

  I’ll stop interacting with people like you now. I moved to an instance which is defederated from hexbear for a reason, and I’m never been happier of my choice after talking to you and your friends. Have the day you all deserve.

  A perfect example of everything that people hate about the hexbear instance. Hope this answer your questions

  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.

  I’ll give you my own personal reason. I’ve had to literally change instance because I had the misfortune to disagree with some of them. It was a political conversation and the level of hate and trolling was the most toxic I’ve seen on Lemmy. The amount of messages and replies that attacked me and/or mocked me was enough for me to made me painfully aware overnight of what hexbear is simply because all the attacks/trolling was obviously from the same instance.

  There was (and in my opinion still is) no point in seeing their answers since a great amount of their replies were just pictures or gifs of things like the butthole of a pig, literal shit and things of that caliber. Additionally, every posts or discussion that talks about them, inevitably draws their attention and they start to spam the same kind of stuff, relishing in the idea that they are hated, simply replying with things like “cope, seethe, rent free etc”.

  I’ve also personally blocked all the instances from hexbear I could and a lot of users from there because I don’t come to Lemmy to be called fascist or to try to have conversations with trolls.

  Personally, I can’t see anything that could help in change the culture when the people at the top AND the people at the bottom don’t seem to have any interest in changing. I definetly give props to people like you for trying to change it and I’m sorry you get bunched up with less pleasant users, but I’m here to look at photos of pets, talking about plants and books and other silly things that don’t deserve that level of hate. I certainly want nothing to do with it.

  That was my personal view and experience. Hope it helped with your questions
