  • What's the deal with hexbear.net users

  • I'm sorry to hear that you had that experience. I can imagine that the tendency of some people online to pile on is only magnified and strengthened when socialists and communists who feel that their ideology has been unjustly maligned and distorted for the last several decades finally find a group of people who think like they do.

  • Understood. If it is as you described and some of their responses were disproportionate relative to your posts, then that's regrettable.

  • I don't understand. Are you referring to another comment on this thread? I don't find another comment here doing a search for either daily or soothing. Link?

  • When Digg has the “Digg Effect” and Reddit has the “Reddit Hug of Death” then what is Lemmy’s equivalent?

  • Lemmy users are Lemminators, so the site has been Lemminated.

  • Thanks for providing a bigger picture of the pattern.

  • But that's another complaint without providing actual examples. I could just as easily complain about the same things from liberal lemmy.world posters.

  • Ok, I understand you feel that way and believe that you're being sincere. I just rarely get to see actual examples to back up all the complaints. Like someone else commented on some other thread I read today, I see 10x more complaints about hexbears and tankies than I see actual bad behavior from them.

  • Most appropriately named domain registrar ever? They should have just gone ahead and named it iwantmynamebackgoddammit.

  • People that still use Yahoo!, Hotmail, AOL, or similar, why?

    Jump

  • I don’t use hotmail but have considered it. I’m probably going to move to protonmail instead for the better privacy. But what’s wrong with using hotmail, and what do you think people should use instead? Hotmail is essentially outlook online nowadays, a very sophisticated email client with a few advantages over gmail, if that’s what you’re comparing against.

  • I understand that the gigantic stickers thing was actually a bug that has been fixed several Lemmy versions ago. I haven't seen a giant sticker/emoji from hexbear in quite a while. I can sort of understand what you're saying about the confrontational tone and namecalling though.

  • I suspect that your perspective of the world (geopolitically speaking) is very different from mine, so it would probably not be a constructive use of our time for either of us to go into the details of what you wrote.

  • Yes, a lot of instances have blocked them, and I have yet to see a proper justification for it, other than that they confront people's beliefs. As for being obnoxious or rude, I would love to see some example exchanges that make people think that. Unfortunately that has been difficult to come by so far. From what I have seen, they call people liberals, fascists, etc, and in turn people call them tankies, etc. Seems fairly even to me so far.

  • According to https://midwest.social/instances, it does not appear that your instance has blocked hexbear (see blocked tab), so your not seeing much of them seems to reinforce the idea that blocking them doesn't seem justified. (Edited for clarity).

  • I just don't get all the anti-hexbear hate I see on other Lemmy servers. Questioning your mainstream/western/capitalist beliefs and arguing about it shouldn't be ground for blocking them. I have yet to see any egregious behavior from them. Sure, I see somewhat outrageous takes on their own hosted communities, but have yet to see them cross the line on other servers.

  • I can't either.

  • Just curious but are we heading towards an "eat the rich" society?

    Jump

  • The publicized hope of increased violence is a scary indicator that we’re approaching closer to commonly associated fiction-based dystopias🫠

    Honestly, I realized a few months ago that we're already way into dystopia territory. It clicked for me when I read a news story explaining how there are people in Los Angeles that make it their business to rent old, beat up vans and RVs parked on the street for homeless people to live in, for several hundreds of dollars a month. I did a search and found another article about it, linked below. How much more dystopic can things get? In fact, any of the massive homeless encampments we've been seeing are already plenty dystopic.

    Edit: oops, it seems I had left out the link - https://abc7.com/los-angeles-vanlords-rv-renters-rvs/13322319/

  • True, good points!

  • Why did communism always turn into a kind of dictatorship?

  • You're welcome! I just wanted to let you know that you're making a difference. :) Thanks for the offer to answer questions and also for the link to the speech!
