As many other threads have popped up about this over the last few days, I thought I’d raise a thread on kbin about this too.

From what I’ve seen, they seem like mainly inflammatory trolls who steadfastly support either Russia or the CCP while adding little of value to actual discussions elsewhere on the site.
Was a vote to federate with them in the first place even had?
What’s everyone’s thoughts?

Nonscientific strawpoll:

    It’s more so not wanting to see those kind of comments in the first place. It’s not really feasible for me to block every hexbear user.

    I choose kbin as my instance since it seemed mostly leftward leaning and full of chill people.
    They’re needlessly antagonistic

    Edit: I also chose Kbin for it’s superior mobile web UI <3 Ernest

      I certainly wasn’t trying to counter your post in any way or anything (especially as a non-kbin.social user), just provide information for people who might not be aware. kbin.social users basically have to see all of their posts with no way to interact or exchange with the other party, giving them little options. And for people who are unaware of this, they might be replying to their users in hopes of discussion or debate that will never happen

        Oh no, not at all! I appreciate the knowledge. I’ve been here for a bit but haven’t worked it all out yet and I’m sure others haven’t either.
        Even if you had been disagreeing, it would have at least been a constructive conversation unlike the ones started by HB 😜
