In a recent appearance on Russia's state-run television, Russian political scientist Sergey Mikheyev suggested that the country's "empire" should grow to encompass three American states.

"I want the Russian empire with Alaska, Hawaii, California, Finland, and Poland," he said, as translated by Gerashchenko for the clip he shared. "Although Poland and Finland are so stinky, I'm not sure, to be honest. We'll clean them."

Hexbear users are real quiet when posts like this come around.

I would not know, they are all on mutelists .. lovely peace and quiet.

I should start doing that. Been mostly lurking after reddit changes. But those people are as bad as some of the reason why it felt like time to leave.

Yeah I would advise throwing the 3 tanky instances on your Blocklist (Hexbear, Lemmygrad, lemmy.ml) and find alternative communities if you subbed to any on these instances (mostly .ml communities).

Then you can block maybe the 10 users you start to recognize for their extremist or depressing views. And you're golden.

I personally used my client to also mute the Gaza crisis with a small list because that is also just slapfests and verbal diarrhea.

It helps a lot

I would advise not. When you block someone, you cede the floor to them.
