I just got run out of hexbear because I believe voting for Biden, while shitty, is a form of harm reduction. I got called a genocide supporter and a fascist followed by hours of threats and wishes of harm, including my favorite. An emoji of a location where Nazis were executed by partisans in Yugoslavia.

I'm new to lemmy so just kinda assumed it was a leftist space. I didn't realize that it's just red tented Nazis with no actual love for their fellow human beings. Something I consider necessary to being a socialist in any form. That sucked.

Yep. I have them and .ml and lemmygrad blocked from my feed. It’s toxic there.

"Block hexbear" is to browsing Lemmy as "use an ad blocker" is to browsing the internet.

Pretty much. Yeah. That place is gross, it’s like the dark-web of willful ignorance.

This. Lemmy requires a blocklist. But fortunately it’s easy to make.

I don't really understand hexbear. They are leftists that are so left they are Nazis?

I get it, I don't like voting for Biden, but we live in a two party system where we have to vote for the least evil one.

And despite myself, Biden has passed some of the most progressive legislation ever (at least my lefty podcasts tell me that) So while he was glacially, immorally, slow to call for a ceasefire in Gaza, he has done it and his policies are inarguably more moral than Trumps were and likely will be, should trump win.

Horseshoe theory. The extremes ends on both sides aren't identical, but they sure do rhyme

Biden has passed some of the most progressive legislation ever

No, but he has passed some horribly racist bills back when he was involved in passing bills

And yet he was overwhelmingly the favorite pick for Black voters in the 2020 primary.

People change. Context matters -- some of those bills were even supported by black community leaders. It obviously didn't turn out well.

Plus, it matters to some people that he was happily VP under Obama. I personally don't get it, but to some people being #2 to a black person at #1 meant something.

I always see reports of this behavior from hexbear, but I've never been subjected to it, even when disagreeing with the user base there. Though,I am wondering if they just blocked me because I haven't seen any of their posts in a while, now that I think about it.

I made a snarky comment on a post from a Hexbear Truth-Teller once. The OP replied to me after a few days and thought it was important that I knew they couldn't see my post from the Hexbear server.

Uh sorry guy, not my concern really since it seems your server is the one blocking me.
