Yeah, that's exactly the issue. Nothing of value comes from their instance, but they do follow the rules.
If you're not going to engage in good faith with the discussion, then take a hike.
You're not great at providing examples or reasoning to back up your claims in this thread. You seem pretty trolling, dismissive, and hostile. Everything you're accusing others of being.
As I've said countless times now, they don't engage, they drown out. It's not each individual comment that's the problem, it's the overall effect.
You certainly have repeated yourself countless times.
so why are you here, then?
There's more of them than there is of us, and they all upvote each other.
Sometimes you're in the minority. Get used to it.
Regarding the edit, what is their instance actually about, what are their leanings? I haven't been to visit, and don't really want to.
I think calling them anti capitalism and anti racist is a bit reaching as many of them seem to support the state capitalism of Russia and the CCP. And I have yet to come across a hexbear user that has ever brought up the current genocide of the Uyghur population in China, they'd much rather point fingers at western countries for their issues instead of holding up a mirror to their own beliefs regarding "communism" in its current form in Russia and China.
While I definitely agree with the sentiment that they would like to describe themselves that way, but on the other hand no one is forcing them to support those countries. And a sizable portion of those users and supporters seem to be unwilling to have a civil discussion regarding the issues with their "alliances" when brought up by other users.
Who's forcing them to support genocidal state capitalists?
That just means that they are choosing to support state capitalists. Nobody forced them to have such awful beliefs but themselves, because they love authoritarian ideology.
Being anti NATO, I suspect they're also on Russia's side regarding Ukraine? Yeah, fuck em.
They LOVE Putin and the CCP. They'll dogpile anyone who disagrees.
Euww. Yeah, they can fuck right off.
They're authoritarians. The communist stuff is just an excuse to worship authoritarian regimes like the CCP.
Tankies. They are pro authoritarian communist or socialist regimes like China and USSR, and anti western liberal capitalist democracies like US and NZ.
They got banned from Reddit and moved to an isolated Lemmy instance long before the rest of Lemmy got big, but decided to experiment with federation fairly recently.
So what's with the attitude in your other comment? Clearly these people have no plans to engage in good faith.
