            I’m sorry comrade, I was already deeply irritated from other things and just read part of the comment and your instance’s name (it tends to have a lot of ‘lesser evi’ debatebro types who migrated from reddit but never truly ‘left’ reddit)

            That’s my bad, deleted that comment

            • No worries. You could have just edited that one sentence. Nothing wrong with going on a rant on agreement :)

              I barely pay attention to what instance people or communities are in tbh, so I have no clue what kind of reputation people in reddthat have. Well, except hexbear has a reputation for being trolls or something? Idk. Some instances block that instance and I wanted to be on an instance that doesn’t block them.

                I think hexbear has that rep because we are generally much more crass towards our targets of derision, and we don’t force the issue of civility

                We were/are also openly hostile towards some lemmy instances which had mods with Nazi adjacent views, as well as ‘inclusive’ spaces which were not inclusive; it’s also exacerbated by much of lemmy being redditors who just wanted to ‘feel special’ for leaving reddit.
