Yeah, no. There's really not much value lost when blocking both Lemmygrad and Hexbear. Lemmygrad is straight up insanity, it would go down as the greatest satire instance if not for the fact that they actually believe the shit they're saying. And the loudest users of Hexbear are just hypocrites. They completely justify brigading other instances in the most offensive way possible and cry wolf when they get blocked, only to turn around and ban anyone who even remotely questions their ideology on their own instance. Blocking either is the equivalent of blocking a far-right instances, because they're all extremist.

And this is coming from a socialist who has not blocked either instance. In fact I'm more likely to get blocked by them because despite being supposedly ideologically adjacent we have very little common ground, and they don't take kindly to someone questioning their actions or beliefs.
