just the most obnoxious reddit brainworms. bleh
Everybody on .world thinks I’m a tankie. Everybody on hexbear thinks I’m a lib. I just want to be loved.
Everyone on hexbear thinks everyone else on hexbear is a lib, don’t take it personally
Well that’s just cause lemmy.world is like straight up fash
It’s ok though friend we still love you, read theory though
“No, you don’t understand, kicking out all of the Marxists and Anarchists definitely won’t result in fascists feeling welcome this time, we are liberals, after all!”
It’s only happened every single time. This time will be different, though.
Everybody on hexbear thinks I’m a lib
you’ll fit right in with the rest of us, there are no leftists here
Better ml than world. they’d might as well just rename to reddit.world at this point.
Yes, that’s an important thing to remember. Instances like .world and justshit are largely responsible for dragging down .ml and other (relatively speaking) decent instances. On hexbear, we’re used mostly seeing ourselves (obviously), lemmygrad, .ml, a little bit of db0, and a smattering of other little instances. The second you go on .ml, you’re inundated with loads of the same shit we all thought had been left concentrated on reddit. It’s not that .ml is that terrible, it’s that it’s too small to push back against the hordes of .worlders. And so the culture of .ml and other smaller instances slowly but surely gets degraded. Defederating from hexbear and lemmygrad preemptively by .world wasn’t done just because they wanted to be “safe” from having to see opinions and takes based in a reality they like to deny (it was that too), but also so they could hold sway and more easily influence and dominate the fediverse.
For everyone on hexbear that was gung-ho about federation because it would mean actively dunking on libs, if you were one of the ones (like me) who liked the idea of arguing with liberals and putting them in their place for all the lurkers to see how inept their worldview is, I very much encourage you to make accounts on other instances and help push back against .world’s insidious shit. If you’re a hexbear that has had enough of that shit and just want to chill in a leftist space, I completely respect that and would suggest that you not make accounts on other instances.
Hexbear has almost fallen back to a state of existence similar to how it was before federation happened, with the biggest difference being more cross pollination with lemmygrad. Which is good for those I just mentioned who like to not have to see liberal and chuddy garbage outside of the dunk tank. But it’s not good for .ml that they get so swamped by .world. I’ve said it before but I really do encourage hexbears who like the posting trenches to make accounts on .ml and check the same threads you read as a hexbear and take note of how drastically different the experience is.
If you need a pedophile defended to the death though there’s no one I’d rather call than their admin team
Okay I just heard about this for the first time now, and it turns out it the mod in question was the same ml admin that hexbear banned months ago for sexism, they said something about all women being catty and men not being into drama. I remember reporting that comment from them.
I just wonder how the hell did they last so long as a mod?
That was the pedo mod, it was two other ml admins debatebroing hard in the dunk tank post that was disappointing.
Dessalines brought the hammer down tho at least.
Wow they really did block it. Guess I’m gonna have to look for a new instance.
lemmy.ml used to explicitly label itself as a leftist instance. The removal of that one word from the site description has done irreparable damage.
.ml’s description used to be “A community of leftist privacy and FOSS enthusiasts, run by Lemmy’s developers.” They took “leftist” away around the time of the Reddit thing so they wouldn’t scare people off, I guess.
I sometimes tab off of local and then immediately come back because the quality of the posts goes down the shitter and no one’s talking about beanis.
