Please don’t use serif fonts for UI elements. Imagine the buttons on your file manager being Times New Roman. (eww.) I think what you’re looking for is a monospaced font that’s designed to distinguish O/0, I/1/l, etc.

Plug for one of my favorite fonts: https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/mono/

The guy who replied to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in your second screenshot seems like one of the far-right wingers. They do not, in any capacity, represent the general population.

Thankfully, OP is from an instance that has not federated with Hexbear. Hexbear users won’t be able to see this post.

I don’t really agree with all the points you listed, but I want to say thank you for not employing the Hexbear approach to defend your position. I gave you an upvote.

ps. before anyone berates me for not also listing reasons to defend myself: I’m tired of arguing online.

I don’t get why some think that the US or Ukraine started the war. They did not. Russia started it. Why would any country attack another country 28 times its size?

I did not say that it was Hexbear downvoting us.

It’s ok.

Gee I just looked up that @MomoTimeToDie@sh.itjust.works, and apparently he has 9 posts on !conservative@sh.itjust.works, with the highest scoring post having a score of -14. (Yes, negative fourteen.) There are only 10 posts in total on that community. Wow.

Yes, I know it’s a vote, but what’s so fundamentally different between the big Lemmy instances that you want to block some and not the others? Are the userbases of those big instances really that different from one another?

Genuine question, how do you guys decide which instances you want to federate with and which ones not?

Do you think it’s edgy, original, and cool to append “Death to America” to all your comments? I was also going to add “you even add that to your non-political comments” but then I realized that all your comments are in some way shitting on liberals.

I also noticed the 1 or 2 people downvoting our comments. Seems like some people just downvote things they don’t understand. Pathetic indeed.

我其實也住北部啦哈哈，風真的很大，雨普通大而已。謝謝關心 xD。但我還是不死心，希望明天有颱風假

嗨，難得可以在 Lemmy 上遇到台灣人。相信我，我懂你的心情。我前幾天也被六熊們搞得很煩。什麼新疆人過得很好、習維尼迷因是種族歧視、台灣是中共領土等巴拉巴拉的。

我家外面風好大，雨也好大，你那邊呢？

people like you are the reason people want to block hexbear.

I first cited a nazi sympathizer without noticing this. After they refused to accept this, I cited the UN instead. Guess what they said in the comments? That the oppression of Uyghurs is not genocide.

The comments weren’t entirely mild either. Have you not seen those screenshots of comments using insults? Don’t you think it’s a red flag that such a large portion of hate speech on Lemmy is from Hexbear?

If you like Hexbears, you should leave lemmy.world and go make an account on an instance that has not defederated from them.

@hark@lemmy.world Though I probably will get downvoted for my shameless self-plug and stance against them, you should read my post on Hexbear: https://lemm.ee/post/5751850. If you don’t have time to read it all, you should at least read the tl;dr and the Edit 1 near the end of the post.

I actually got almost half of my colleagues to use Signal. Well maybe they probably still use another chat app even when talking to a fellow colleague who has Signal, but at least I got them to register an account.
