Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane?
I think a little clarification is needed. No. I don't actually think everyone there is insane. I don't care about the bans so stop trying to use that. HB enthusiasts coming here and trying to call me out achieves nothing besides proving my point
Edit: Feel free to keep trying to brigade me. It's not going to scare me to take this down

Do you have any examples of this? Since world is defederated from that instance, I only end up visiting it when people like you come in and talk about how absolutely crazy it is over there, so occasionally I'll take a curious peek. This time I see... a post about Indigenous rights, a post criticizing capitalism, a post dunking on musk, a post about FOSS... when do I start seeing the crazy?
Read the comments.
I did, and still didn't see the crazy. In fact, all it did was make me wonder why an instance with such little activity gets talked about so much.
They very quickly ban people who disagree with their propaganda. So just browsing, it looks like left leaning but generally sane people.
Go on there and say anything negative at all about China. You'll see the crazy.
Have you considered you are just observing this:
Hexbear is for communists to talk to communists. They get plenty of the "default" liberal opinions from waves hands around vaguely and are entitled to their own community, no?.
Obviously if you go into Hexbear and just start posting anti-China stuff they're going to ban you. It's not like the English-speaking world is bereft of anti-China news articles.
I'm not trying to join their cult. I'm not feeling excluded from their cult. I'm saying their cult should not exist. It is a mixture of crazy people and Chinese propaganda, and it deserves to be stamped out.
Ah yea, everyone that has an opinion that isn't mine is dangerous and deserves to be silenced. I totally agree. I think lemmy.world should refederate, and then defederate a second time, just to make sure they get the message.
Not everyone who disagrees with me. Just extremists and morons. Tankies happen to be both.
REAL communists are cool. Hexbear is a pile of shit.
Are the real communists kept around back with the real scotsmen?
What do you consider a real Communist, if not people who read Communist Theory, advocate for Communism, and defend real movements towards Communism?
Not tankies.
Why do you, a self-professed liberal that has not read Communist Theory, get to pull the No-True-Scotsman card on Communists?
Pisses off tankies
Regular reminder that Communists hate Putin and the Russian Federation
This isn't accurate, they were very active in brigandine other federations, hitting random threads on .world for instance with hundreds of reply comments drowning out anything that may be a tiny bit critical of china or Russia. Or pro west.
There wereultiple cross-posts daily pointing to specific threads posted on hexbear to organize brigading.
Dang that's pretty impressive for an instance that got blocked by .world before they ever started federating.
Or did I already miss make stuff up o'clock?
Have you considered that their users were just browsing the front page and what you're describing is just the nature of lemmy and how federation works?
You're likely referring to the_dunk_tank which is a community that encourages bullying homophobia, transphobia, fascists and liberale (pretty based imo)
.world preemptively defederated from hexbear "as a last resort" can you clarify when the events you're referring to would have happened?
I might not agree with the moderation practices or even their opinions, but that doesn't make them crazy.
You got cause and effect mixed up.
We disagree with them because they are crazy.
do you have an argument that doesn't rely on ableism?
Yeah. Here it goes:
"ableism" is used as cover for shills to attempt to shut down people who call out their batshit insanity.
Oops
got it. for anyone else reading this: why exactly is jumping straight to mental illness as the source of any disagreement not ableist? Does someone who struggles with mental health get no say on literally any topic?
Blah blah fuck tankies. Fuck Putin. Fuck the CCP. Fuck hexbear.
riveting comment. truly, I've never read this type of comment before and now I've been owned!!!
I will now give the obligatory response: amerikkka is a dying empire and will not be able to stop China and socialism. die mad about it loser.
TRIGGERED
I had assumed you were a bog standard democrat but I apologize, didn't realize I was speaking to someone who likes to watch "FEMINIST OWNED AND TRIGGERED!!!" youtube compilations
lemmy.world users don't interact with hexbeqr users because your admin preemptively defederated from hexbear "as a last resort". At no point were the two federated. I don't know about crazy, but that seems inconsistent. Don't you agree?
Found the hexbear with a .ml alt rofl
That's how we interact with hexbears. Via .ml
