Hexbear is run and populated by toxic extremists largely unable to deal with middle ground and a spectrum of opinion, last I checked. I’d consider this a fortuitous omen to block the whole instance and dust your hands off as a job well done.

1·7 days agoFun article, but small correction:
David Snider’s Centipede clone: Serpentine
Serpentine is no way a centipede clone, but it -is- a great game, and relatively unique. It might be thought of as the super-enhanced, spiritual successor of “snake.”
Anyone who hasn’t played it, you missed one of the greats, but you can always try out a free browser version. Archive.Org and others will get you started there.
Out of curiosity, how much time and effort did you spend in building and fine-tuning your feed?
Also, did you make any special effort to get connected to other parts of the FV?

I’d heard about them before, but prefer to reserve judgement until I see things with my own eyes, or at least directly see how they’re treating others.
Eventually, at my community, I posted a comic examining some of the various self-strife between Israeli folk, and from out of nowhere 3-4 Hexbear users who’d never taken part before materialised and began ranting about Israel and calling me and the community some pretty awful things. After that, I started paying a little more attention to their user comments across the Fediverse. Just… yikes.
