Pretty pathetic, especially considering the users who insulted me got no repercussions.
Just another reason not to take mods seriously.
Edit: Apparently mental illness is a common trait among hexbear users. I hope they receive the help they need. This isn’t healthy for them.
your wish is my command. I felt like I should’ve kept them around a little more, after the end of the thread to see where this goes, but might as well bite the bullet now. @bdonvr@thelemmy.club should probably deal with this on his side too.
I’m sorry you got misgendered, hopefully he gets banned from their home instance too.
Done, thanks,!
Really do appreciate this cross instance collaborative moderation and I feel like more of it would make lemmy as a whole a better place. I have seen other admins tell me not to ping them about behavior of their users outside their own instance which just strikes me as cowardice at best and tacit approval at worst.
As the fediverse grows we’re gonna see a lot more influx of reactionary shit from people leaving reddit and bringing that baggage here.
We also have a Matrix chat for this kinda thing not sure if you were ever invited?
I was not but I would certainly join it. Be warned my matrix shows up as unverified because my old phone broke and I am unsure how to fix that.
I think I signed up with a protonmail account and I don’t even remember which recovery email that is linked to. I should probably just make a new one.
My old desktop and my old phone died in the same week like a year ago.
Its mainly an admin room but we do have non admin observers, i can invite you; what’s your matrix user?
@nakoichi:matrix.org
Already pinged the admin. Been seeing a lot of really shitty takes from that instance lately so not really hopeful. I appreciate you though.
Speaking of shitty takes, that @iii@mander.xyz person below that seemed to agree with them also got banned from hexbear for transphobia. Called HRT “self destructive”.
Fascist birds of a feather etc.
:(
I don’t have the time or moderation capacity to make a community as cool or comrade filled as HB, but if you see any really shitty takes, report them. We’re a really small instance though
Sorry didn’t mean it as a dig personally at you. I do know it’s rough being a solo admin. We’ve had 5 years dealing with this shit so I appreciate the follow up and sorry for the friendly fire. I’ll be sure to let you know if anyone else from your instance represents yall in an ill light. Usually I just mock people and move on, ban them from whatever communities I mod and inform our admins but this guy was literally just posting Nazi shit.
Not sure what your registration process is but it may be a good idea to set up a simple questionnaire to filter out the obvious ones like that. I know that is more workload for you in the short term but may pay off in the long term though.
Nah it was already a dumpster fire.
