I see. I did observe how people, both lemm.ee users and hexbear.net users, in this thread are just criticizing each other without opening their mind to what the other side has to say. I think this thread has already become a flame war, and I apologize for starting this. Do lock the thread if you feel the need.

To solve the harassment, maybe you could try using the approach that our (Hexbear) admins have taken? Namely, liberally banning Hexbearians like how we purged dozens of lemm.ee users a couple days ago?

By "us," I meant the userbase of hexbear.net. By the way, can we stop using account age as an indicator of how trustworthy an account is? I jumped to Hexbear 3 weeks ago when the defederation drama on my last instance unfolded.

Thank you. After reading the comments on this thread, I think I kind of understand why so many people consider us obnoxious.

I kindly ask you to edit out the word coward in your comment. I hope that this thread stays unlocked for as long as possible. I also believe that words like these we often use do contribute partly to their hate.

China does not take an interest in spying on the average westerner.
