Sounds like they unified against you fairly well.
Anarchism
Discuss anarchist praxis and philosophy. Don't take yourselves too seriously.
That they did.
I've only experienced that from them since I've known them. Not one wants a good faith discussion until you grovel to their fundamentalist tripe. Unity to them means blindly following their half-understood theories of centuries-dead men, and anyone who questions a lick of it gets the 4chan swarm treatment.
OP literally did not attempt to have any discussion of any kind, and explicitly said they had no interest in doing so
that's the definition of "not in good faith" homie
what part of db0's crosspost was calling for good faith discussion? Did you look at it? https://lemmy.ml/comment/5783449
how can you seriously call anybody a smuglord in that convo except you
does the work of the feds by intentionally seeding distrust between leftists
gets called a fed by leftists
"time to fill my diaper about it!"
This is so tedious
You, having posting incendiary divisive shit on purpose and pretending to be shocked at the response it got:
This was what you posted https://i.imgur.com/RDl2sOZ.png
That was the version revised to be less racist, not the initial post
I'm at least pleasantly surprised they actually tried to do the bare minimum of editing it to be less racist.
Credit where it's due and all that
Thanks for single handily crashing the housing market by allowing millions of hexbear users to live rent free in your head.
Hey so I think you're pretty rad person who's obviously investing a lot of effort in setting up cool communities and making tools to keep them safe.
I also think you got unfairly dogpiled in a pretty frustrating way.
But further, it seemed to me you were not trying to de-escalate there. I know the hexbear dogpile can be a bit ridiculous (honestly that place confuses me, I see both the absolute sanest and most unhinged posts coming out of hexbear users) but at this point you are definitely feeding the trolls.
I get that this might be fun for you, but it does use up a lot of bandwidth in the community and I worry it harms the quality of conversations we might be able to have in the future.
Once again I want to be clear that this remark comes from a place of respect, you obviously care about fostering online community and hence this last couple of days is confusing to me.
I appreciate your effort to be diplomatic
You might want to reconsider your idea of what they care about, though.
Calling out the emoji doesn't diminish what a
you are.
Well it works for us on Hexbear. That's actually what I like about it, it's a nice big tent over there. Some of our greatest posters are anarchists, they were indispensable on the frontline of the posting wars that followed federation.
I'm not sure I really agree with your first point, I think finding a way to find allys in all leftists would be worth it, even if it has a dark history. Things can be better.
But holy shit their reaction was intense. And the idea that their arguments were in defense of left unity was pretty silly... 99% of it was just "anarchists wrong and evil", and there is wild amounts of sectarianism going on just within hexbear that I'm sure lent energy to this.
I respect how you reacted under pressure. I really respect any admin of a website that can show that much restraint when dealing with personal attacks and people you explicitly disagree with.
But yeah the lethality of leftist infighting is maybe a topic that deserves more delicate conversations than memes.
anarchists wrong and evil
not only is that not what we said, but db0 actually said that about us
Thanks for your kind words. I will admit I did get snappy towards the end of the day as I was getting tired and they had gone to straight up brigading tactics with half a dozen hexbears shitposting random replies, so there wasn't even any point to reply anymore. It had just become a classic pile on situation because I hurt their feelings.
I’m not sure I really agree with your first point, I think finding a way to find allys in all leftists would be worth it, even if it has a dark history. Things can be better.
I'm not here to stop anyone. MLs can be allies when they act like anarchists, which they tend to do when they're not in power. But you have to be cognizant who you're getting in bed with.
Do you think that all ML's harbor some innate desire to just start murdering anarchists for no particular reason when given the chance or something?
This weird self-induced paranoia can't be good for you.
I don't get it. Not saying that in a sarcastic way, I literally do not understand if this meme is for or against leftist/anarchist unity. Maybe I'm just old?
i rolled my eyes at the first thread and didnt open but i wanted to leave a comment here so you have more evidence when u write about your struggle in the future
This type of pissing and moaning about a post is pathetic
Slow down there, pardner. You're gonna give your dick rugburn if you keep at it so long.
[fart noise]
Yeaj fork those guys f4om pentqbear. Nt good. Very not fun Very unfriendlt, a real dope!
