I’m on the same boat. But my “what the actual fuck?” moment came when (for those unfamiliar with it) YouTuber Idubbbz came out with a sincere apology for many of his videos that used extremely racist or ableist terms. While aware that his apologies did not automatically translated into being forgiven by the memebers of the groups he insulted, Idubbbz still felt it was important for him to apologize.

And in this situation, Penguinz0 just said that “Idubbbz shouldn’t have apologized and it felt like he was exaggerating the whole thing”. Way to inject yourself in something that did not involve him at all. Also, that really told me the kind of person Penguinz0 is: someone who dismisses others suffering when it’s not his place to do so and someone who just goes off his own gut feelings alone.

I have watched the video and if you think he wasn’t being honest, you probably are one of those people you mentioned that fall on the spectrum.

He might’ve used the tone of a joke, but he’s been saying for a while now how he plans to “get back at those who wronged him”. Hell, he even said that the GOP is impeaching Biden only because “they did it to him first”.

I am shocked people like you think he’s not being serious: he’s literally telling you.

That’s not true. The rich are extremely rich and with immense amount of power and influence, while the working class has little to nothing. That’s capitalism working perfectly as designed, my friend

Are you surprised the genocidal regime that has been slowly eradicating a whole people for the past 70+ years could go this far?

I agree that the beauty of Lemmy is also within the universe of different instances. But a) as you can see in that question that I received, some users might simply not know how/which instance is defederated from X instance and b) I can understand both points personally. But as I wrote at the end, (new) users shouldn’t expect a whole instance to go one way when the admins made clear that’s not a direction they want to go to

Oh now I understand, thanks for giving me extra details! :) However, looking at the website you provided it seems like in only the last 2 months this community grew by over 9k (from 11,838 to 21,178 to be specific). We became the second most active instance in the whole of Lemmy

I’m sorry but I’m a bit confused by your comment because the link had more details about the server itself. I feel like I’m missing the correlation with my post

“lmao you got that mad about being called a little baby for being a little baby? Grow thicker skin or learn to self crit ffs.”

Seeing your replies, I highly doubt anything anyone could say to you would not warrant a personal attack. You clearly like to think of yourself as someone who’s open and willing to debate since you wrote:

“I choose to interact with these types in a more interrogative manner”

But you’re not. You’re just waiting in bad faith for extra ammunition to call people baby, fascist, or people unworthy of having opinions . You don’t even know my political leanings, but just because I’m not a part of your group, that’s reason enough for you (and other people of that instance) to pile on and mercilessly troll on other users.

I’ll stop interacting with people like you now. I moved to an instance which is defederated from hexbear for a reason, and I’m never been happier of my choice after talking to you and your friends. Have the day you all deserve.

@comr@hexbear.net

A perfect example of everything that people hate about the hexbear instance. Hope this answer your questions

I never said people disagreeing with me is trolling. I’m quite aware of what trolling actually is. And I find interesting how that “people disagreeing with you is not trolling” line gets said so often by people of that instance. Trolling is trolling.
