Sorry (🍁) we did this without making a post, but after receiving several complaints we defederated from hexbear.net yesterday.

Here's a few quick examples of poor conduct by hexbear users:

Spamming bullshit links to the pig poop picture: https://lemmy.ca/u/[email protected]
General trolling: https://lemmy.ca/comment/2146513
Posting the pig poop emoji repeatedly and not adding value to discussions: https://lemmy.ca/u/[email protected] https://lemmy.ca/u/[email protected]
Calling for exections of landlords: https://lemmy.ca/comment/2154580

They warned their users to behave themselves, but that didn't work: https://hexbear.net/post/280770?scrollToComments=false

Please read and respect the rules of the community instance in which you are posting/commenting. Please try to keep the dirtbag lib-dunking to hexbear itself. Do not follow the Chapo Rules of Posting, instead try to engage utilizing informed rhetoric with sources to dismantle western propaganda. Posting the western atrocity propaganda and pig poop balls is hilarious but will pretty quickly get you banned and if enough of us do it defederated. Realize that you are a representative of the hexbear instance when you post on other instances.

One person is not a revolution.

There are hundreds of homeless people in my small city of Victoria alone

Ever been to Vancouver?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes. I'll be there in the middle of September.

A few hundred homeless people do not a revolution make (or a few thousand, or a few tens of thousands.) You can fantasize about it by the reality is that you end up dead or in prison if you try.

We need change, that is an absolute truth, but we are a long, long way from revolution.

Ok well just wait till you see how aggressive and violent homeless people have become haha. It's not friendly begging anymore and I don't blame them

Agree that it's fantasy though. Canada is spineless

I'll be fine.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah you sound wealthy so you will likely just avoid those areas entirely

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I was thinking that I would go down to Save On for a sandwich.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I don't blame them either. However this problem exists in a country where homeownership sits over 60%. Many, many of them not in any proximity to homelessness. It'll require a lot more people on the bandwagon to get a significant change happen.

You know what's funny? I mentioned going down to Save On Meats to get a sandwich and you didn't even know that it had closed permanently during the pandemic. You were telling stories like you were from there and you were lying. You've probably never even been there. I have. I've walked those streets. My cousin works those streets. You're afraid of outrageous stories you've read online, probably in the extreme right wing echo chamber. How utterly fucking pathetic

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

You said Save On which I thought you meant save on foods

Holy hell why are you so angry

Your reply is so weird. Even if I understood you meant the diner I wouldn't have known it closed anyway because I can't afford to eat at restaurants in the first place

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm not even slightly angry. I'm quite happy, actually. I just landed in Vancouver.
