I don’t like to see so many political posts in all and so many weird images in comment sections

People don’t want to block hexbear because they disagree with them, they want to block that instance because they often act like they’ve got the social skills of a neglected 5-year-old on meth. Further, because that’s who they’ve surrounded themselves with they have convinced themselves it’s normal or even appreciated.

I disagree to defederate from them, but you made a beatiful argument for it.

Have you not seen the thousand posts calling us fascists or some equivalent?

In Japan, there’s a competition known as the Kezuroukai Planing Competition. It’s a challenge for experienced woodworkers to see who can plane the thinnest contiguous piece of wood using a type of hand plane known as a kanna. The thinnest piece I last heard of was around 3 microns.

I only mentioned this because it sounds like your skin might beat the record if people calling out the bad behavior of others on your instance immediately gets you this riled up.

I'm talking about what is true or false, not what is right or wrong.

Also, calling someone a troll or an idiot vs calling them a fascist are two extremely different things and I very intentionally meant the latter

Oh, like when hexbears call for deaths of property owners or “libs”, is that one of those different things too?

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 year ago

Not all libs, just you.

Not property owners, property hoarders. Owning a home is fine, owning many homes to exploit the monopolistic nature of renting housing is antisocial behavior and must be stopped. If someone decides that their right to exploit those poorer than them is worth defending with their life, they made their choice.

If you can't tell the difference between that and believing in antisemitic conspiracy theories and racial mythology, I am afraid the help you need is far beyond my capabilities.

You’re all over the place It’s like you heard the pigeon chess analogy and thought the pigeon was the hero of the story.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 year ago

You're the one who is all over the place, I'm just responding to what you say. Stop projecting.

It's really weird to just make shit up, ascribe it to entire group of people, and then just say it like it is fact. Odd behavior.

Oh please, hexbear users are no ruder than any other instance to people they disagree with, it's just that you reddit refugees are used to being able to be as toxic as you like to communists without pushback, and now that you're on a level footing you can't take it.

"Hexbears aren't rude!"
You literally just posted your weirdly fetishized pooping pig two times in a row before this comment.

But I guess the cognitive dissonance comes with being a china apologist.

Hexbears aren't rude!"

Not what I said. But I guess that kind of dishonesty comes with being a nazi apologist.

[–] Quacksalber 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

To ease your easily startled mind, even if I consider the toxicity of users from other instances, your spam easily tops that.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 1 year ago

That's because you're not on the receiving end of toxicity and spam from other instances, because you don't disagree with their politics. That and because Hexbear is a big instance compared to most.
