I wish hexbear was like this, instead they fellate capitalist imperialist autocrats like Putin because it feels cooler to be a contrarian than class conscious to them.
Yeah, it's so weird that they're sooooo in love with Russia and China. They claim to be communist and/or socialist, but those countries aren't what I'd consider to be either of those things. They're just... regular ol' dictatorships full of human rights abuses. Why the hell would they want to support them?
Hexbear is good for one thing and one thing alone: Tearing the incoming wave of neo-fascists from reddit a new one. Regulars know not to mess with them but newcomers will try (and fail) to debate them which always results in hilarity and a lot of accounts getting banned.
You're making hexbear sound more badass than they really are. In reality, they're chapo rentoids who live in mommy's basement
But but but billionaire nationalist dictator from country opposing "west" = opposing capitalism = supporting (my flavor of) communism good???
Seriously, how do you even arrive at such conclusions? What would Russia et al need to do to be perceived as worse than "the west"?
Yeah, that drove me absolutely up the wall. Russia's economy was liberalized after the fall of the Soviet Union, and China even invited Milton Goddamn Friedman to consult on their economic plans.

This is why I laughed when I saw the post on lemmy.ml with that screenshot from reddit of a user complaining about Lemmy.
All the comments were acting as if everything the user said was wrong and Lemmy has no problems.
This site has a shit ton like how you experienced.
Bear in mind that some instances blocked Hexbear and similar. This means that what people perceive as the fediverse can be very different. Some instances are super curated while others see warts and all.
Plus some users have blocked the instance on their side. Easy to forget how bad things are when you utilize blocking.
But we (as a collective) do need to remember that what we experience isn't the same as what a potential new member experiences. Which is why I now advocate defederating instances like Hexbear. I really didn't want to for a while, but eventually it became clear that they're too aggressive and bad for the fediverse as a whole.
Yup. I said "it's nice to not be spammed with presidential news every day" and the responses were all "YOU SUPPORT THE PEOPLE CRUSHING MACHINE" and "DEATH TO AMERICA" like bruh I'm just out here sipping my iced tea.
It's definitely more than a little bit jarring how completely mask off they've gone recently. At first I felt like they were making an effort at being like "look at us libs, being le intellectual." It was an enormously stupid and transparent effort, but it was detectable.
Now they are pretty openly just calling for mass murder and terrorism. They don't even seem to be doing the "meme cover" at this point. They are openly fantasizing about exterminating normal people.
It's actually a pretty interesting view of how extremism kind of always evolves into the same crab eventually.
FIFA needs to be defederated from the real world. Soccer is cool, and y'all should definitely keep that around, but damn, I think the cocaine cartels in Bolivia are a bit less corrupt than FIFA
You likely would have been removed anyway, lemmy.ml also swings that way.
Are you thinking of lemmygrad.ml? lemmy.ml is the second largest instance.
Swings Marxist, yes. Calls everyone that disagrees with them a Nazi?
Well, not openly.
What the fuck 🤣
