You're viewing a single thread.
This post's comments are fucking hilarious.
You have liberals debating ancoms and self described v*ush communists. You have someone that wants to call all communists an ableist slur. You have people decrying communism and people debating that there's "good communism."
You jerkoffs don't have a consistent ideology and it shows. Your mods are more welcoming of ableist liberals (the user that used the slur is not banned but I'm sure mods were quick to ban any 'tankie apologists') and cryptofascists than they are of fellow leftists because you've sucked up the liberal propaganda that tells them any communist that accomplishes anything in the real world is a tankie.
Communism isn't compatible with America's "democracy" and any of you so called "communists" that are afraid of undermining capitalism deserve the bedfellows you've welcomed with open arms.
Most "tankies" you assholes are so afraid of wouldn't touch 196 with a ten foot pole yet you're all still jumping at shadows when anyone says something too left like it's still the 60s. At this point I welcome a ban with open arms and wish 196 would get the fuck away from any trans-first instances as it's poisoning the well.
I'm gonna keep this up because it's fun to chuckle at.
BTW if you report posts we're much more quickly to find them. I looked at the reports and I've been removing most of them. I've also informed the other mods.
Please tell me what modern communists are doing in North Korea other than jailing people, and how we position the well by being openly trans inclusive and ban transphobes.
Edit: Lmao you also defened hexbear when they attacked our users. https://imgur.com/98u8Njc
News flash, they won't like trans people because they view queer folk like you and me as enemies of the people.
Wow that's wild then why is hexbear more openly caring and welcoming of trans people than any other instance save blahaj?
Reading this and looking at the moderated comments, I'm largely on side with your criticisms, but hexbear is not the most welcoming instance to trans people by a long shot. I'm a disabled trans woman who works with the public and uses it as an opportunity to seed social change. I act as an outside agitator for some local workers struggling with their management. I've done canvassing for Planned Parenthood. I've lived on the street and been part of intentional self-supporting homeless communities. I absolutely reject corporate oversight and I've made sacrifices in my own life to reject capitalistic imperatives. I put my money (or lack thereof) where my mouth is and am leftist as fuck.
And yet the moment i disagree with one of them on anything it's the 'lib' dogpile from a bunch of armchair doom scrollers from the comfort of their heated-seat toilets. I don't feel the vibe that i do from people in the real world I've talked to who've been through struggle and know first hand what's wrong with capitalism and American pseudodemocracy. I feel the vibe i feel from ignorant ass private school teenagers who think they know everything.
Personally, I find Beehaw and Solarpunk a lot more welcoming. Same to .film before it poofed.
Hexbear is to my experience the least welcoming instance to anyone who isn't cosplaying a leftist channer poe troll.
I think it's a fair criticism that they can get a bit debatelord-y but the majority of users I've interacted with tend to be much like yourself. I personally do not like beehaw as they seem to want to create a hugbox which isn't my vibe but I do understand why someone would want that.
However I disagree that they're the least welcoming as I've yet to see any other instance so openly embrace their queer and trans users while also taking action against phobes and chuds with extreme prejudice. Most other instances I've interacted with tend to harbor and at worst defend these people which leads to them hiding just below the surface.
I mean personally they immediately dogpiled me, which has never happened with another instance's users. But I also immediately blocked all the right wing instances on any accounts that didn't start defederated from them, so I'm sure that has substantial impact.
I definitely think they're nowhere near at leftist as they think they are, though, just by virtue of their tendency to stuff memes in their ears and loudly shout libliblib. It reminds me of the racist nimbyism of ostensibly progressive people who aren't ever able to examine their own ideas and behaviors critically.
To me leftism requires some degree of intellectual honesty and humility or it's just the kind of self-serving performative lib bullshit they accuse everyone else of as a literal hobby.
As far as Beehaw goes, I usually use at least one or two other instances to have a bit of a wider reach, but it certainly does make a comfy sort of home base.
Edit: I find the blahaj staff's treatment of a user politely disagreeing with them pretty disappointing. Not winning anybody over in this thread.
I'm sad to hear you had those experiences with them but I thank you for sharing your experience all the same. I do think they have a good level of self-crit but I'm not going to deny your history with them and I'll definitely be on the look out for it.
Really the important thing is that you're comfortable and for me hexbear fits my comfort zone and I'm glad you've found your own space.
I find the blahaj staff’s treatment of a user politely disagreeing with them pretty disappointing
Ooh, is that me?

Can you clarify please? Neither myself nor Kaity have been active in this thread
If you're referring to the 196 mods, none of them are Blahaj staff. Feel free to DM me with more details if it's something an admin needs to look in to.
Maybe it was 196 mods? It looks like some of her posts were removed that were completely innocuous.
Just FYI, SLRPNK is the new home of r/twoXchromosomes and they have been told multiple times that the sub name is transphobic and the migration was the perfect time to change it.
Don't know exactly, nor do I care, because I'd rather not be subject to an echo chamber of authoritarian thought.
If you think 196 would be better there, start one there. You're one who's staying here and complaining every time.
So instead of looking what your so called enemies are doing you'd rather stick your head in the sand and make your own echo chamber? Cool cool cool cool.
Lmao I don't care where 196 goes, I think lemmy as a whole would be better without it.
Are all your responses going to be soaked in weapons-grade reddit smugness? Because I'd rather take the ban than continuing to witness your brand of text based self-fellation.
It's not as fun to ban someone who's clearly more upset than I am for calling out that they can leave any time. "No, I'm almost enjoying my anger!"
Lemme know how long Hexbear-196 goes before it implodes.
So that's a yes then.
Hexbear-196 LMAO
Also why do i have to report openly bigoted/ableist speech when you've interacted with the comment? Do you not bother if nobody cares enough to report the shit?
Oh hey that's a good screenshot, what was the linked image in my comment?
Oh here it is.
https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/pictrs/image/816dc816-c1d5-4fdf-aff9-086134c3f639.jpeg
Man I had to really dig to find that. Do the mods pass a screenshot of me around or something?
It was me being an ignorant asshole and learning from my mistakes. I can change to better myself, and so can you.
So then I was right at the time of the comment? Wow wild.
Hey don't use that word, its ablest in itself. I'm not saying that as a "gotcha!", I looked into using that word, and its like "br**ndead" and "l*me" as an insult.
Sure no problem!
Thank you
Also no we didn't have to dig, I just went "wait, I recall seeing her before" and went via top of all time.
Man, fuck Hexbear. They are the most transphobic instance by far. I've documented their harassment of me on !dronerights@lemm.ee
the infighting is hilarious. it's no wonder the internet leads to poor mental health. keep flaming one another, it'll definitely lead to a brighter future.

Anarcho-Bidenism-NATOism isn't communism?
Lmfao
Imagine thinking Vaush is something to equte to Tankies and Fascists... good_girl has been a pain for us before.
