It's definitely all of the above.

Hexbear is particularly vexing to me. According to the fediverse observer they're less than a month old and yet have already become one of the most active instances.

outside of running your own instance, asking your instance's owner to block them, or joining one that already has the offender on the blocklist, no. It's requested a lot though so it's probably on the todo list

Maybe I've just spent too long arguing with aholes on the internet but to me calling someone "friend" comes across as very sarcastic and condescending

I bet we fall just outside the top 10. Seems pretty busy here to me, plus our LOTR memes make top upvoted pretty frequently.

In your world you start having to write "solve the equations to their simplest forms" on tests for kindergarteners who won't even know what that means in order to avoid technically correct nonsense like "1 + 1 = 1 + 1". Room should be made for genuinely unclear test directions, but this is not one of those cases.

Edit, maybe he should have gotten credit for literally writing "a number with a 2 in the ones place." The test should have used "provide an example," not "write!"

God I wrote like 3 paragraphs of hair-pulling stupid bugs and experiences I've had with steam just over the last couple years but jfc, long story short is your experiences are not universal. Steam horror stories are as common as flies on a week old corpse

Happy, stable, has a good relationship that is the most fleshed out of any in the comic.
