i stand in a graveyard of my own making and feel naught but catharsis
you may notice 32 fewer annoying people on the fediverse and that's because I combed through 4 cross-site hexbear drama threads and all of !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works for users on instances we're still federated with that would either vehemently rather not see this site themselves, have active beef with this site, or are just straight up reactionary, and I banned them. I banned them all. I am become George Orwell, Nineteen of Eighty-Fours.
we love our admins, we have the best admins! Everyone is saying it, I have posters coming up to me, big strong posters, we have the best posters, they say to me @FALGSConaut@hexbear.net the admins are banning the reactionaries, they're banning the bigots, and yes, they're even banning the nuke apologists! I tell we gotta do it, the lemmyverse is full of libs! We have liberals posting in the megas, we have liberals posting in the dunk tank! We need our beautiful powerful admins to put a stop to them! Posting Pig Poop Balls is a good start, but liberals are some bad dudes and we gotta get them out of here!
Cross-instance bans are kinda like shadow bans. They’ll still see our comments, but we won’t see any of their comments. They’re not even notified when they’re banned.
I know this because I went to a banned user’s profile on lemmy.ml and they were still making angry comments at us seeable there but invisble on hexbear. So they can yell into the void, basically
