I’m not trying to join their cult. I’m not feeling excluded from their cult. I’m saying their cult should not exist. It is a mixture of crazy people and Chinese propaganda, and it deserves to be stamped out.
Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane?
echolalia@lemmy.ml 1 week agoHave you considered you are just observing this:
Hexbear is for communists to talk to communists. They get plenty of the “default” liberal opinions from waves hands around vaguely and are entitled to their own community, no?.
Obviously if you go into Hexbear and just start posting anti-China stuff they’re going to ban you. It’s not like the English-speaking world is bereft of anti-China news articles.

Ah yea, everyone that has an opinion that isn’t mine is dangerous and deserves to be silenced. I totally agree. I think lemmy.world should refederate, and then defederate a second time, just to make sure they get the message.

How authoritarian

Not everyone who disagrees with me. Just extremists and morons. Tankies happen to be both.
REAL communists are cool. Hexbear is a pile of shit.

Are the real communists kept around back with thw real scotsmen?
Cowbee@lemmy.ml 1 week ago
What do you consider a real Communist, if not people who read Communist Theory, advocate for Communism, and defend real movements towards Communism?

The Falun Gong are, right now, kidnapping children and brainwashing them into being performers for their shitty dance troupe. These performers are not paid, cannot leave The Compound, and cannot contact their family. That’s a cult that the government should stamp out.
Hexbear is a bunch of people with a different opinion on the western world’s designated Enemy Governments. They’re not in the same ballpark, or even playing the same sport.

Lol who the fuck said anything about Falun Gong? That’s out of left field. You got a bug in your programming?

We were talking about cults, I brought them up as an example. I could have just as easily used Scientology.

This isn’t accurate, they were very active in brigandine other federations, hitting random threads on .world for instance with hundreds of reply comments drowning out anything that may be a tiny bit critical of china or Russia. Or pro west.
There wereultiple cross-posts daily pointing to specific threads posted on hexbear to organize brigading.

Dang that’s pretty impressive for an instance that got blocked by . world before they ever started defeating.
Or did I already miss make stuff up o’clock?

.world preemptively defederated from hexbear “as a last resort” can you clarify when the events your referring to would have happened?

Have you considered that their users were just browsing the front page and what you’re describing is just the nature of lemmy and how federation works?
You’re likely referring to the_dunk_tank which is a community that encourages bullying homophobia, transphobia, fascists and liberale (pretty based imo)

Yeah, I do remember that. That’s why I’m not signed up there. They weren’t changing anyone’s minds with their shitstirring and were doing it for their own enjoyment (which is damaging to all communities, even nonpolitical ones, if people avoid your platform due to trolling).
That said, it was a past problem, and posters on lemmy.world are still out there complaining about Hexbear like they’re relevant. I’m speaking about the current situation.
I’m not advocating for them to re-federate with lemmy.world (I have no dog in the race, anyway, being a part of neither instance) but I do remember watching the Hexbear mods/admins shutting down the actual brigading of threads before lemmy.world de-federated. Not sure it was a solvable problem, anyway, Hexbear is rather antagonistic in ways I don’t agree with.
