The sheer amount of pro-communist/pro-china comments is insane here. Plus the number of giant emojis that spam up the whole comment feed. Honestly, most of my real issues come down strictly to Hexbear users. A lot of their behavior completely ruins the platform for me.
That and the lack of fanbases for the things I like. There’s very little Star Wars or Halo fan presence here. Feels like Star Trek is the only fandom with any presence here, so I have to go back to reddit for those things.
Lemmy.world is defederated from hexvear if you’re looking to be totally free of them. Obviously you would have to join lemmyworld and some people don’t want to do that for various reasons, which is totally fine, but you’ll get a ton of content without the spam.
It’s VERY noticeable when I’m on an alt account (either to view c/piracy or because the DDOS attacks have .world down) and a hexbear user is in the comments. Defederation was 100% the right decision and I’m eager to block the instance on all my alts when it becomes possible to.
