    I hadn’t experienced hexbear (literally) shitting up the place yet, has a way to block entire instances been implemented or do I gotta find a new one that isn’t federated with them?

      Yeah I was using lemm.ee but the hexbear spam in the threads was ridiculous. They were swarming the meta thread discussing defederating them too, and it seemed like the instance admin was determined to keep federating with them. Went on the hunt to join a popular instance that doesn’t federate with them. There’s a few out there that do block the annoying authoritarian/boot-licking trifecta of lemmygrad, explodingheads, and hexbear. Sopuli.xyz was the one I ended up joining.

      Just block the main communities that pop up. Most of their shit disappears of you block like five hexbear communities and lemmygrad.

      Next update will allow you to personally defederate with them even if your instance hasn’t. If you’d like. You can also very easily migrate to a new instance, if you’d prefer thaf route.
