    Isn’t .ee is one of the only big instances that federates with hexbear?

        Yeah I think the admins of hexbear like sunaurus (owner of .ee) which has let us stay federated despite the general population of .ee being hostile. At least now it’s easier for users to block instances individually

        I’m kind of a lib temperamentally and hexbear’s emoji heavy posting style grates on my nerves with too high exposure, but I do try to debunk the flat out lies people say spout on .world and such

          I’m here all the time but am too old to be licensed for anything more advanced than emoticons :/ I do think the emojis are often cool when used in moderation (the extreme is I few times I’ve seen comments that are just one emoji that work perfectly), but there are a few users who use them as punctuation and when you start to get a longer comment written in that style it borders on unreadable to me and I give up very quickly.

          hexbear’s emoji heavy posting style

          That’s the thing I miss the most since moving to .ee :pain:
