Wait, what's wrong with Hexbear? I'm new to Lemmy and read the code of conduct and TOS of Hexbear and it just seems like they're leftist? I was thinking about registering there 😅

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Hexbear users are generally more vocal with their opinions and call people out for problematic opinions. Because not everyone shares Hexbear users' opinions it can come across as very aggressive. My instance has been defederated with them for a while so it's hard to say exactly what it is like now, but that's the gist.

I had plenty of positive interactions with them too and enjoyed their communities. It's easier to notice the one really unenjoyable interaction with someone than the dozens of somewhat positive ones though.

It's a shame that many instancss defederated with Hexbear and vice-versa... definitely makes having alt accounts necessary so users can get the most out of Lemmy

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

I blocked hexbear after getting in too many stupid arguments with their users. The final straw was an argument where they said "owning a personal washer, dryer and vacuum isn't communist enough" and I just gave up and blocked the bunch. Lot less grief in my feed after that.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Nobody on hexbear is sane. One of the worst Lemmy instances. Many other instances already defederated from it and I can honestly just advice you to not interact with them.

If anyone from hexbear insults you, it's a good thing. That means you're still human.

I'm new, trying to get a hold of the lingo, is instance like, reference to the server they usually post through? Or like, lemmys equivalent to a sub reddit? What does it mean to defedrate?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

reference to the server they usually post through

Roughly, yes. Imagine there isn't just one reddit, but multiple reddits, all with their own users, sub-reddits and eventually even rules. Now all these multiple reddits can "talk" to each other. That's why I'm on lemmy.zip and I can see a post someone hast posted on lemm.ee - that is federation. Saved on different servers, but looks like one coherent feed.

Defederation means that an admin of an instance excludes one or more instances from communicating with his. I'm not 100% sure what every implication is, but roughly, the instances can't communicate with each other, so if lemmy.world defederates from lemmy.zip, for example, we could not have this conversation right now. You also would not see any posts from lemmy.zip and I would not see any from lemmy.world

Lemmy can be a bit of a culture shock when you come from Reddit. If someone calls you a libtard on Reddit, it's because they think you're a leftist. If someone calls you one on Lemmy, it's because they think you're too far to the right of them.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Sooo are the users over at Hexbear considered libtards over here on Lemmy?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

No, the opposite; They’re so far left that leftists aren’t left enough.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

They are not actually left, they are authoritarian communists and will defend Chinas CCP and Putin as well as spread the propaganda/misinfo out of there. And if you dare post anything critical of them, no matter how many good sources you give or how factual it is they'll write it off as "CIA propaganda", remove it and ban you under their catch-all "Rule 1: Bigotry"

If you criticize the chinese communist party you will be labled a sinophobe on Hexbear.

Former tankie turned anarchist. Talk to the Tankies. Learn from them, they have points.

Engles is full of shit ("On Authority" is little more than a business owner complaining that people don't like authority, and using natural laws of the universe to justify its existence by diluting the definition of authority such that any type of power over anything is considered authority. While this is not technically incorrect, it is a gross oversimplification of what authority means) and is the primary basis for how authority is justified on the Auth left.

But when they tell you to read something, go read it. They shitpost hard, don't eat the onion, don't feed the trolls, but engage in genuine conversation *recognizing that you will never agree and using it as a learning experience *

edit: spelling error

I like to think of tankies as Anakin Skywalker in that scene on the Grass with Padme. Anakin is gently explaining his hopes for the future, the wonderful world he wants to build, but when asked if people disagree he says "then they'll be made to", revealing his authoritarian streak. To anakin, like the tankie, seems obvious that an ultimate authority is necessary to shepherd the people into their eventual utopia, by force if necessary.

Many recognize the goal of a far left state is to whither and die, but the tankie forgets that power begets power. A dictatorship of the prolietariat is all well and good until a well spoken wolf in the finest wool takes the reigns. Power does not corrupt; rather i believe it is corruption that seeks power, and like dragons those corrupted by power will not give it up, and will do anything for more.

This right here (I'm stealing it lmao)

I personally would love to see the fall of capitalism in my lifetime and the rise of "The Star Trek Economics" which IMO is a fantastic example of a realistic equal capitalism-free future. Not so perfect as to fall into the "Utopia that's really a Dystopia in disguise" problem, but still a future worth striving for.

All current or past examples of Communism generally involve the sacrifice of personal rights and freedoms to some degree.

ETA: As far as engaging with them goes, I did for a while, multiple times in fact. Once you go beyond their surface level talking points the Authoritarian in them comes out and they will not criticize China/Russia in any shape or form no matter how deserving.

It's really only been the last few months that I've actually been proactive against them because now I see the damage they do to the Lemmy-verse with their propaganda and misinformation.

These posts are so fucking cringe lol. Its always the same guy posting them.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

I was on Lemmy when lemmy.ml was the biggest server and I'm glad that despite the biggest server being tankie nominated Lemmy could grow into what it is today.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (3 children)

For awhile I thought that there were stacks of people on lemmy.world constantly complaining about tankies. But now I'm starting to realise that most of the posts are from this one dude, cm0002. Frankly, it's a little bit weird.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

This whole topic has been the crusade of like two or three people.

The result is mostly just a fourth person being able to post shit like breibart without harassment.

Lemmy is still rather small.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

Yeah its pretty pathetic.

Watching him 'help' the fediverse grow by constantly trying to divide and ostracise people would be ironic if it wasn't so obviously dumb
