you may notice 32 fewer annoying people on the fediverse and that's because I combed through 4 cross-site hexbear drama threads and all of !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works for users on instances we're still federated with that would either vehemently rather not see this site themselves, have active beef with this site, or are just straight up reactionary, and I banned them. I banned them all. I am become George Orwell, Nineteen of Eighty-Fours. 
First they came for the lemm.ee's - and I didn't say anything, because I wasn't a lemm.ee.
You seem alright. Don't come to the fediverse tomorrow.
gigantic emojis!
Why were all the non-hexbear nerds complaining about giant screen-covering emojis? They're awesome!
Yes even if I got a giant PBB I'd enjoy it because LOOK AT THOSE SUCKERS!
What are you talking about? Those are perfectly normal sized emojis like any other hexbear user would post.
keep it up fellow bear!
Yeah look at how long these totally normal emojis are
This one amuses me.
One of us! One of us!
I recognize some of those names.
None of them for good reasons.
we love our admins, we have the best admins! Everyone is saying it, I have posters coming up to me, big strong posters, we have the best posters, they say to me @FALGSConaut@hexbear.net the admins are banning the reactionaries, they're banning the bigots, and yes, they're even banning the nuke apologists! I tell we gotta do it, the lemmyverse is full of libs! We have liberals posting in the megas, we have liberals posting in the dunk tank! We need our beautiful powerful admins to put a stop to them! Posting Pig Poop Balls is a good start, but liberals are some bad dudes and we gotta get them out of here!
Hello? Based department?
Thank you for your service. Also I love your username.
She's really feeling it
I hate that I recognize most of these
"...the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away, but with blood.”
LITERALLY 1978!!!!!
Bits aside, 
LITERALLY TC69
TC69 thought
What's tc69?
A legend from the era of myth in the great lexicon of historia hexbearicum
Tell me?
TransComrade69 was one of the hexbear admins who brought down the ban hammer on trans-bigotry really really really hard, like you gave off even a hint of transphobia you got a proper bopper on the noggin knocker with the silly clown hammer
Aka 
Immensely honorable.
users [...] that would either vehemently rather not see this site themselve
Well, they can still very much see the site, it's just you can no longer see them
even funnier 
They MUST see us, we no longer have to see them...
thank you for fucking on these goobers
Does the ban prevent them from commenting on our threads or just prevent us from seeing it?
I recognize a little less than half and all were assholes
Oh you don't know?
If you get purged off of hexbear you get purged in real life.
Cross-instance bans are kinda like shadow bans. They’ll still see our comments, but we won’t see any of their comments. They’re not even notified when they’re banned.
I know this because I went to a banned user’s profile on lemmy.ml and they were still making angry comments at us seeable there but invisble on hexbear. So they can yell into the void, basically
I'm actually jealous. I wish I got to pull the mouse button on these nerds 
I guess war against lemmy comes next with Operation IKEA FREEDOM reaching the end of its planning stage?
Let them stew in the Two Minute Hate
based department
Oh hey, I know some of these
See now this is what I've been talking about! Ban the lot and let god sort them out.
Next up: Pedants
Good stuff.
Banned? DM Wmill to appeal.
