Is it bots? Are those humans whos mission is to cause chaos? Is the weird behaviour caused by the creation of the concept of lemmy?

Somebody please explain to me wtf is going on.

They answer destructive comments, assuming shit, demanding shit. Are they trolls?

Are they being paid for causing chaos? It’s insane

    There is an instance block feature you can use in the settings as a user, that seems to work pretty well for not seeing hexbear stuff

      Instance block is not as effective as defederation, even on an individual level. I have received replies and messages from accounts on blocked instances; nothing gets through defederation.

        I got a bit of harassment from hexbear users when I started using Lemmy, haven’t in a while now though, I have blocked around 30 of them and instance block

          Yep that’s pretty normal and it’s why most instances have defederated.
