If lemmy is anything to go by, the vast majority of americans are still pretty fucking eager to throw money at Ukraine. Also the top grossing movie is fucking Barbie and not the sound of farts.

Well lemmy users don’t seem to be the average kind of people. I’m on lemm.ee, I usually scroll all communities im federated with, and what I see is a more left leaning audience

Didn’t that instance completely flip out over seeing content from hexbear?

Some people did, but it’s hard to point at most instances, especially a general one like .ee and address it as a unified culture cause it’s only existed for like 2 months.

The discussion and resolution about whether to defend from us is a defining moment in the development of their culture, though. As long as we can still post with them, then we know their site as a whole has fallen on the correct side of that discussion.

No discounting the rubes we have both seen posting in the wild though. I just don’t think that we can address them as an instance with a fully formed culture yet.

I agree. I do miss the occasional post from /r/conservative with some batshit insane takes.

The lack of variety is dangerous and could make lemmy a one sided platform

The fact that three of these things are about child abuse (not the trans bit, just their twisted narrative about it) makes me wonder if it’s all about deflection. I mean it turns out that guy the movie is about is unsurprisingly a child trafficker. And Elon was in the old Epstein book wasn’t he…

Top movie in America is about elite child trafficking rings

I didn’t see Barbie, but I hadn’t heard it had those sort of themes!

Create post

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
