Edit: mods removed the comment? Why? I don’t think the guy was wrong to be concerned about sexual content in books for children and I would have liked my question answered.

It’s probably the mods on your instance (lemmy.ca) that removed the comment. I can still see it.

I also love his videos!

Please don’t use serif fonts for UI elements. Imagine the buttons on your file manager being Times New Roman. (eww.) I think what you’re looking for is a monospaced font that’s designed to distinguish O/0, I/1/l, etc.

Plug for one of my favorite fonts: https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/mono/

What was particularly sad this time was that the mods here, instead of deleting the abusive comments which I reported several times, decided instead to remove the whole post altogether while those comments themselves were never touched. So, not only the reporting option became pointless, but it also removed (in my opinion) a nice conversation on the topic. In the mod log they wrote ‘reason: Troll bait’ for why the post was removed, but I find…let’s say very coincidental that every time a discussion about Hexbear (which might start very calmly at first) has then to be locked or deleted because of the trolling.

I am almost certain that the post was removed by one of the admins on Hexbear. See their modlog: https://hexbear.net/modlog?page=1&userId=172774. They removed almost all comments made by @comr@hexbear.net, banned him, and removed the post.

The guy who replied to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in your second screenshot seems like one of the far-right wingers. They do not, in any capacity, represent the general population.

I think maybe we should relax the rule for CCP, Russian, Stalinism, etc. apologia for this thread? I don’t really see the purpose of this thread if those viewpoints aren’t allowed here.

Thankfully, OP is from an instance that has not federated with Hexbear. Hexbear users won’t be able to see this post.

I don’t really agree with all the points you listed, but I want to say thank you for not employing the Hexbear approach to defend your position. I gave you an upvote.

ps. before anyone berates me for not also listing reasons to defend myself: I’m tired of arguing online.

Wow, they actually were talking about me. That admin is really arrogant.

You won’t see this, but I’m gonna say this anyway: Your admins also actively engage in building an echo chamber for Hexbears. Just look at the recent so-called “great purge” done by one of your admins. Your admins banned hundreds of people they disagree with politically. It’s kind of hypocritical that any Hexbear accuses others of censoring dissidents.
