yes, hexbear is currently doing a donation drive to support and evacuate people in Gaza

the problem with hexbear is the same handful of users that have made it their hobby to complain incessantly about hexbear all over the fediverse

Dude, kill the redditor in your head. This is my only fediverse account and by “deflecting again” I mean there’s a clear pattern of behavior in this thread that you avoid the topic altogether when you get called out on anything.

What do you mean “no use in 4 months”? Are you just used to lying at this point, hoping the people upvoting you won’t investigate your claims? My account is only 2 months old and I post like every other day. You’re probably just blocking or defederated from the instances I’m active in.

But this has nothing to do with the fact that you call yourself a socialist without knowing what materialism is.

You’re deflecting again. You said in another comment “they say they are communists yet they engage in materialism.” You could just own up and say that you don’t know what you’re talking about.

So like, do you understand what materialism means in socialist philosophy? It’s clear by the way you’ve used the word in this thread that you think it just means “likes having stuff.”

How do you run around calling yourself a socialist when you don’t even know what historical and dialectical materialism are?

Fixing emote scaling would make it less jarring to see them out in the wild. The ppb moratorium has cleaned up threads a lot and hope it continues. Honestly at this point, I’m more annoyed by posts about hexbear/defederation than I am about the instance, especially people who have made it their entire personality to campaign for censoring it from lemmy entirely.

let’s be real, if my comment ended at the fist paragraph you would’ve upvoted and moved on. Multiple comments in this thread belittle hexbear users as children as well, but you don’t have as much of negative reaction against that.

snarky know-it-alls that believe that they possess the most advanced political analysis derived almost exclusively from parroting reddit comments which have slowly turned their brains into velveeta

but anyway, enough about Lemmitors.

Hexbears are actually a nice bunch if you read through the comments on the current megathread. They just have very little tolerance for self-satisfied libs that congratulate themselves for thumping the Washington consensus-approved ideologies that most of hexbear graduated from years ago. Even I find it difficult to read lemmy comments because they’re legitimately what I would’ve written as a teenage redditor in the late 2000s.

OP is legitimately a hexbear power replier along with awwyisss or whatever tf.

reddit will delete this comment cuz they’re controlled by China but fuck the CCP!!!

same energy

This is the thing about people that aren’t used to engaging with hexbear - they aren’t used to holding minority viewpoints. They liked that on other platforms (and IRL) they could just throw around the weight of institutional orthodoxy and “common sense” and be validated by crowd affirmation without having to really explain themselves, so when they’re made to show their work, their argumentation really pales in comparison to users on hexbear who have spent years arguing in favor of some the most suppressed political ideologies in the West.

not the person you replied to, but

as a lemmy.world user, I can’t tell you all enough about how much our quality of life has improved since we defederated form hexbear.net. far less moderation is necessary and general browsing is far more pleasant not having to constantly be bombarded by those awful stickers and brigades of trolls with their endless baiting and attacks

“they just recalled incorrectly” is quite a charitable interpretation

tbh idk how people can complain about off-topic conversations. Just collapse the thread, fam. It really is that easy 🤷🏽‍♀️

what?

Good, I like having them around. They give the fediverse the spice of life that prevents it from becoming just another necrotic pool of internet backwash filled with stale memes and pandering comments like what late Digg became and what reddit has been turning into.

you use a real word

correctly use the historically/globally understood meanings of words

“mm no that’s made up tankie nonesense”

This is at least the fourth time I’ve seen lemmitors do this. Righteously indignant about not knowing things.
