Surprise surprise, Hexbear users came to brigade other instances exactly the way they said they would. Bad actors through and through.

Learn how federation works, or better yet, go back to reddit.

Is it possible to block all users from an instance at once?

Haha good one!

I could be wrong, but I don't think there is at the moment.

Fyi if someone comes across this - best approach on regular lemmy now seems to be to have account with an instance like https://sopuli.xyz/ which has defederated hexbear, lemmygrad, etc. Kbin and some frontend apps allow this as well.
