This is exactly why you should tell people leaving reddit to check it out.
No thanks, people like that make reddit a miserable experience. Its the same here.
"boo hoo people shit on me for being reactionary"
That is all I get from this comment without further elaboration.
i'm not getting anything from your comment either, I don't even know what you are talking about. reactionary? people shit on me?
It's just a miserable reading experience even when I don't interact. Hopefully blocking certain instances helps, but what makes me wary is that blocking certain people for example seems to hide the whole threads if someone in the thread is blocked.
Wait, are you getting involved in political discussions without any familiarity with actual politics? Or even a willingness to google terms to pretend you know what people are talking about?
What terms should I google then? I'm familiar with the terms i've seen in the thread this far.. Like, I know what reactionary means, I just don't know why they are using that word. .. Are they suggesting disliking communist content is.. reactionary?
Are you suggesting opposing progressive changes to society isn't reactionary?
I'm suggesting that communism is not progressive. But i'm not here to argue politics with fools, just to be clear.
Well tough luck, because I am, so explain. What about communism, a system that extends democracy from just the government to the entire workplace, seems regressive or part of the status quo? What past condition is it trying to reestablish? Or is this one of those vibes based "akshully Xi was allowed to stand for president more than twice so that makes him a dictator" analyses?
Supremely ironic lmao.
Yes, doubly so, because it applies to you. You two jokers have been derailing this thread so bad.
Derailing this thread by engaging in discussion about the topic the OP posted about. Yeah sure dude.
Let me guess you also are one of the losers that thinks we brigade your posts because they just naturally show up in our feed and we have to dunk on you for being shit.
What's with you coming up with things out of nowhere? First you call me a reactionary for no reason. Now you for some reason talk about me blaming you for brigading my posts or something.. I have 0 posts on lemmy lmao. Are you delusional? Fighting with demons there.
Okay let me try to summarize how you two absolute clowns have been derailing this thread.
I don't know why we are talking about this, but fair enough, lets clarify then.
Did I clear it up? Probably too confusing for you, let me guess, you will respond with even more points that have nothing to do with anything. You already called me a reactionary and a brigading "victim" for no reason, what fantasies are you coming up next? Don't keep me waiting! Or actually do, I'm not going to respond any more.
Uh you're speaking for OP here and they literally have stated they are fine with hexbear and all the "commie stuff"
You are just pissy because we called you reactionary because that is what you are.
Please write another wall of text I will not read though, it gives me joy to see you are totally not mad.
I told you i don't want to discuss politics with you fools. Being "tough" is not going to negate that. I'm not going to engage with your nonsense nevertheless. Apparently you fail to understand that.
And I told you that I don't care. You're the one claiming communism isn't progressive, all I did was ask some very simple questions about how you came to such a ridiculous conclusion and you started throwing out accusations of nonsense. The call's coming from inside the house buddy.
I mean, you two clowns are the ones claiming that i'm a reactionary (which by extension would imply that communism is progressive, because reactionaries deny progressivism and all that jazz), I just disagreed with that. It's not like I just claimed out of nowhere that communism isn't progressive, I just responded to what you asshats started. But you wouldn't get that, reading comprehension and all that.
And you're fucking wrong that is why we are dunking on you.
Here read fucking Einstein. Anyone with any inkling of intelligence knows that capitalism is destructive and counter to human development. You just have fucking brain worms about it because you are a gullible rube who has been fed a deluge of anticommunist propaganda and you lack the mental fortitude to engage critically with any topic political or otherwise.
You are a tool, a stooge for the ruling class. You would sell out your fellow human for a step up on the ladder. You disgust me.

If you don't want to discuss politics then you should go live in a cave away from civilization because what you call "politics" is literally just socializing.
lol thanks for tapping in to absolutely body this nerd for me. I was busy dancing with a bunch of hot people at karaoke night.
Some people don't come here to talk politics.
There are some people who may just use reddit for non-political stuff, like crafts, gaming and news from their country. Most of that stuff is on lemmy.world.
Those people can literally go back to reddit and have their use experience be 100% identical
Not really. Reddit has gotten really shitty. Not just the community, the actual platform itself.
We do all that too, we're just cooler. We have DIY comms, anime comms, I run the gaming discord where we mostly just chill and play Foxhole ARMA and project zomboid.
My point is that everything is political and for people that want a nice cozy space that is vigilantly purged of reactionaries and bigots it's a breath of fresh air from the reddit environment that carries over to a lot of the big "default" - as you call them - instances.
Shit half the posts on hexbear are silly jokes, weird special interest stuff, personal projects, or random bean posting. We are just very very militant and fairly unified when topics of politics come up and it has roots in irreverent commie shitposting so that will always be there.
hexbear does have a lot of non-political comms, but some of the more niche ones are on .world. I think .world is still far better than
.world is full of fascists and bigots just as bad as reddit is.
While it does seem to house a lot of bigots, its no where near as bad as reddit. Don't get me wrong, I hate fascists and bigots, but lemmy.world housing them seems to just be a consequence of its size.
No it is a consequence of their moderators tolerating that shit.
In my experience, the mods remove bigotry (albeit slowly) once reported.
