Ask Lemmy

The "Just Kidding, but maybe not" kind of memes are both common in the tankie group as well in the right-wing group, which makes me thing it's just the same people with different costumes, also known as a reskinned model.

I’m sort of new to Lemmy, having only been here a few months, and I started my first account here in world, the one I am commenting with.

What I found is that world has many cool and fun and interesting communities, but for news ( world or USA centered) is really centralist USA based. World has cut off access to many other cool and interesting communities that may have different viewpoints here and there.

I think the few experiences by trolls here from other communities is more of a walled garden thing, and if world has a more inclusive mix this would solve a lot of issues .

Me migrating to another instance still allows me to participate here in world, and I simply ignore what I don’t like here and elsewhere.

Honestly, world has as many issues with gatekeeping and power hungry mods as instances and the only way to get the full lemmy experience is to pick and chose what fits best with oneself

I specifically chose my instance because it’s not blocked or being blocked by too many instances.

I’d rather judge myself what I want to be exposed to.

I guess server admins who haven’t defederated them are either with them ORRR they put more responsibility towards their users.

My instance is hosted in Germany and does not seem to defederate from hexbear, I'm subscribed to !history@hexbear.net from this account.

One note, "liberal" to them is synonymous with "nazi," and they do actually, openly, want to kill you for being one (from this comment alone lol, and me too, and everyone else they label liberal). They're losers who will never succeed in revolution, and most of them won't do anything beyond cry online, but they should still be considered dangerous and untrustworthy as one of them is liable to pull some dumb shit in the name of their religion and their god Marx (yes it is a religion if they treat it like one.)

It's like those Appalachian families that were so isolated they basically developed their own culture, language and all.

Very apt description. You forgot the inbreeding part; very much relevant for Hexbear.

You would think having a healthy discourse and talking to each other, exchanging ideas would be better to proliferate a certain ideology.

All they do is try to insult or demand one is an all knowing being. Some read my comment and assume I’m from us and have to know every agency there is.

If they want to bring their ideologies out there they should stop trying to be destructive. All they accomplish is a negative image of their movement.

It’s like a 14 yo has learned about communism and is now super edgy towards everybody because he thinks he’s hacked the system.

Thankfully those of us on world have not had to deal with them for the better part of a year.

.world was never federated with hexbear, .world defederated "preemptively, as a last resort"

This perception is common on .world because some liberals have been lying about hexbear to encourage censoring the left even before then.

Setting aside the content of their comments, I have often found their commenting style to be obnoxious or rude. They're free to do their thing of course, but since I'm not into it, I've blocked that instance. Over time I've seen fewer and fewer comments from hexbear users, and I imagine that's because some instances have chosen to defederate from them.

It's a firehouse of falsehood kind of thing. Fragment people's concept of reality to the point where people can't even have a conversation.

The "question your beliefs" crowd is just people trying to create an alternate (and false) narrative so they can control you.

And that's all hexbear ever does. People not as naive as you are about these things find them to be a waste of time and they do nothing other than interrupt actual conversations based in reality. Which isn't healthy for a discussion forum.

They care about the average human

Just 2 months ago they were celebrating the death of inocent civilians in 9/11 as if it was a holiday.

What I really like about lemmy is the system critical mentality.

I don’t have a problem with people having different political ideologies. But I think that constructive discourse is in everyone interest. These people dgaf. They are everything but constructive.

Uh, no, hexbear is fucking crazy lol.

Me neither. Of course I have the instance blocked and every user I see comment; so that probably helps.
