New account but I’ve been using burner accounts and lurking since the sub got banned. I’ve been seeing all the standard liberal brainworms again for the first time since reddit-logo and everytime it’s an account from another federation. I was tepidly against federation at first but this has been entertaining, like the old days of pigpoop people who wandered into the sub.

I gotta imagine this will only last another week before everyone defederates us, but let’s enjoy it for now.

    I hate it here now, ngl. I’ve barely used the site since the federation. Maybe I’ll get used to it or maybe it’s time to move on.

      I blocked the memes comm on lemmy.ml and that did wonders for my experience; blocking certain comms can make a huge difference if you don’t want to go as far as switching to Local but can’t stand shit like garbage-tier Reddit memes.

      Move on to where? The offline world? I’m not super online so I am completely unaware of any leftist forums that are remotely similar to prefederation hexbear. I will say there are limits to the entertainment value of having dumbasses wander into our threads, and sometimes the broken sorting mechanism is a bummer, so I get where you’re coming from. Honestly not sure where one would move on to though.

      avoid the threads with lots of posts? if you sort by local+hot you basically won’t see them. yeah, there’s the occasional lib who wanders in but it’s not like we’ve been free for that over the last three years.
