Blahj had the same issue a few days ago and had to literally make a second thread that hexbear admins barred their users from so that they could have an internal discussion. Despite how upset that instance was hexbears just can not help but invade this discussion too.

Since lemm.ee seems insistent on staying federated with Hexbear, can anyone recommend a working instance (.world keeps crashing on me) that's defederated them?

I'm not tech savvy enough to know how to check whose defederated them and personally I find that their low-effort high-spam trolling in every thread they see to be off putting enough that I've been going back to Reddit because it feels less toxic. I liked the culture at Lemmy before Hexbear showed up and if possible I'd like to get that back. Thanks in advance!

I thought Catch-22 was a satire

I think it's for "smart" washing machines that you can control from your phone etc. So that's likely what the "updates" would be related too...why you'd need to control your washing machine from afar is beyond me but some people love smart gadgets and will by anything that connects to their phone.

Is that on purpose or is the thing so badly made that it's blinking like that?

I can't figure out where all the lemmy people posting about reddits "power tripping power mods" were posting. I think I ran across one mod in the wild (niche sub) that I thought was crazy and they got run off the platform eventually. What were people posting that they were getting banned all over the place? Maybe the mods weren't the problem if multiple were banning you?

Honestly the customer doesn't even have to dislike the shirt. It's incredible the lack of rights that Americans have in the workplace. Especially when we also have very weak safety nets in place for people who are out of work.

It think they're mad because some of them already paid for a year and the awards and gold were part of why they got premium. Now awards and fold are disappearing mid-september and they feel they aren't getting what they paid for anymore.

Also being "smart" in an apocalypse likely means building allies and connections. Which can only happen if people can trust your word and don't think you're a dick. Something that describes neither of them.

Seriously. I never want to hear how hard it is to mod a subreddit with existing mod tools again. They've rolled over for spez (which is their right) and they don't get to complain about it anymore.

Not all evangelical communities believe in the literal "body and blood" the way the catholic church does. Second half is certainly true though

But you're driving, are you suggesting that the co-pilot posted this in reference to the pilot? Cause that's the only way this isn't about a psychopath.
