I don't block instances. I block communities and users. An instance is too large a group of people. They're not a monolith. Some people on hexbear are garbage and some are not. Some topics encourage jerks, some do not.

unpopular opinion time: hexbear isn't that bad. I've had to block a few communities, but I do that with any instance. I've had to block more on hexbear, but it's not a ton. I've had to block more people on hexbear than other instances, but it's not that bad. I appreciate their different viewpoints. I don't like echo chambers and I learn a lot.

You had them respond with LIB and big poop pictures again and again?

Yes, lol. I block every ppb I see whether they're talking to me or not.

If someone posts literal shit, they're not worth my attention.

It's generally posted in response to the literal shit right wingers put into words though, is it having the depiction which is so upsetting?

What a ridiculous false dichotomy. It's not either/or. I block the transphobes too, lol.
