Hexbear is trash their support for the LGBTQ community is fraud at best.

- Hey there, admin of hexbear here:
  
  I'm sure that if you took the time to search top comments you'd find many are critical of Putin/Trump/Russia. Consider spending some time in the trans or news megathreads and ask a question or two if you want to know what users support.
  
  It's as if leftists do not actually like Putin or any of the other ghouls on the Russian side, but are instead critical of NATO and willing to consider NATO opponents as rational actors instead of cartoon villains.
  
  Both sides of a war can be bad. We don't have to support either. The working class are the only victims, and will continue to be victimized until peace is negotiated.
  
  Just like all their other bullshit. They claim we're right-wing, they claim we aren't LGBTQ+ accepting, they claim we support Putin, yet no matter how many times we ask, never once have they ever bothered to pony up any evidence to back up these wild accusations.
  
  the Russian government is illegitimate because a supermajority of citizens and a majority of republics voted to retain the Soviet Union and its dissolution was an illegal act counter to the will of the people
  
  we don't actually like Trump. We hate all US presidents.
  
  common russian federation L
  
  I ain't see beehaw have to openly say "we don't like Trump"
  
  shouldnt waste your breath, theyre a misogynistic and ableist troll
- youre just straight up lying about what they think
  
  Hahaha the Russians or hexbear?
Fuck tankies.

  Respect what people choose to use as their pronouns. Fuck me, right?
We're not interested in promotions for Hexbear, please and thanks.

Hexbear?
- A place worth avoiding except to be excited and take part in the trans community there.
  
  Outside of that, hexbear has been known to be full of tankies with fantastic opinions like "Russia is justified in invading the Ukraine"
- People here will be salty about me saying it but I think they're the most trans positive instance. I say this as someone that looks at everything trans related from lemmy.ml on purpose so I can check in on everyone
  
  I feel like people have a lot of unexamined transphobia and thats why they're angry about hexbear, hexbear rabidly defends their trans users. Then of course people just parrot hearsay when hexbear dogpiles someone for being transphobic. Hexbear also defederates from other instances a lot (either because Hexbear considers an instance transphobic or w.e. or because that instance hates dogpiles) so obviously Hexbear people can't defend themselves from slander.

  Hexbear is very inclusive to trans people that align with its ideology, but it actively allows harassment and "dunking" of anyone, including trans people, who don't align with its ideology. In my opinion, it's hard to be the most inclusive trans instance when you are only inclusive of some trans people, and are willing to harass the rest.
  
  Well hey, guess I get to make my second lemmy profile today.

  Weird, I can't seem to get there from pawb.social.
