Sorry (🍁) we did this without making a post, but after receiving several complaints we defederated from hexbear.net yesterday.

Here’s a few quick examples of poor conduct by hexbear users:

They warned their users to behave themselves, but that didn’t work: https://hexbear.net/post/280770?scrollToComments=false

              Yes. I’ll be there in the middle of September.

              A few hundred homeless people do not a revolution make (or a few thousand, or a few tens of thousands.) You can fantasize about it by the reality is that you end up dead or in prison if you try.

              We need change, that is an absolute truth, but we are a long, long way from revolution.

                Ok well just wait till you see how aggressive and violent homeless people have become haha. It’s not friendly begging anymore and I don’t blame them

                Agree that it’s fantasy though. Canada is spineless

                  You know what’s funny? I mentioned going down to Save On Meats to get a sandwich and you didn’t even know that it had closed permanently during the pandemic. You were telling stories like you were from there and you were lying. You’ve probably never even been there. I have. I’ve walked those streets. My cousin works those streets. You’re afraid of outrageous stories you’ve read online, probably in the extreme right wing echo chamber. How utterly fucking pathetic

                    You said Save On which I thought you meant save on foods

                    Holy hell why are you so angry

                    Your reply is so weird. Even if I understood you meant the diner I wouldn’t have known it closed anyway because I can’t afford to eat at restaurants in the first place
