If so, was it polled somewhere?

I don't mind the general hexbear ideology in itself. Sure. You do you.

But, damn, I see more than a few of its members just being obnoxious.

It’d be lovely if you could just see the hexbear powerusers somewhere convenient and mass block. I went through a couple subreddits of theirs, found the top posts, blocked everyone with more than 50 upvotes. Real pain in the ass, but I suddenly have far fewer teenagers who peaked in middle school debate club to deal with.

If you go to our megathread, most of the people tagged in the first comment are our most active users.

idk if there's a tool to mass block them, seems like it would be a pain to go through them all but you do you.

This statement isn't even internally consistent, are we teenagers or did we peak in middle school?

You peaked in middle school, you’re now a depressed teenager in high school or therabouts.

Try a little harder when trying to pose as a well intentioned and reasonable human.

Do some self-reflection

Civility is when I get to deride anyone who disagrees with me as a child and they are forbidden from saying anything mean in return

Imagine typing the paragraph that came before this, and then going on to write and post this without detecting the irony

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Saying humans a lot makes other humans think the human saying humans is a well intentioned and reasonable human that just wants all other humans to be more reasonable and well intentioned humans. Humans. very-intelligent

You can actually go to Hexbear communities like mentalhealth or mutual_aid and half the posts are shit like "I need help paying rent" and "I hate my job"

You're so married to the reactionary idea of "Communists are all just ignorant teenagers" that you can't see the evidence against it when it's right in front of you

[–] Shiggles 6 points 1 year ago

No, you’re just the worst kind of communist/socialist: the insufferable type nobody else wants to fucking deal with. Stop giving socialism a bad name.

Stop LARPing as a Silicon Valley logic machine. It's creepy and cringe.

You just implied [email protected] was a subreddit-logo

I must defend it with some old fashion fisticuffs.
