Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane?
uienia@lemmy.world 2 months agoNah, it is just a lot of hexbear alt accounts like yourself on your disingenously labeled “reasonable” side.
Not all. People over-generalize to forget that Lemmy.ml (and lately more people from Midwest.social) have always blended the experiences, being able to post to both “sides” like hexbear.net and lemmy.world that are defederated from one another.
And lemm.ee too though iirc they consider themselves more truly neutral than leftists?
And some alts too ofc:-).
I’m a lefty but I didn’t know which instances leaned which way when I got here. I chose lemm.ee because their defed policy itself was neutral and that appealed to me because I can do my own damn blocking thank you.
You can now… and if you were willing to go individually account-by-account, then you always could. I’m glad you found your niche - it’s nice to widen your worldview and listen to it all, sometimes:-).
Though I’m on the other end of the spectrum: having spent nearly a decade listening to people’s oddball takes on everything under the sun, and bending over backwards to accommodate it all as if it had some semblance of validity, I now find myself wanting to substantially narrow my input stream. Ngl, reading and watching/listening to - and more importantly thinking deeply about - such things as Innuendo Studios’ The Alt Right Playbook, and the actual Trump presidency that caused our current inflation crisis and oh yeah killed more people than all wars combined iirc, really changed my approach on giving such viewpoints the time of day. There’s a difference between sounding smart (like screetching: “show me your source material, bitch!”, while also looking down on the recipient in every way), vs. actually being thus, imho.
However, if you want to keep your finger on the pulse of many sides regarding a particular matter, then I’m so glad that the federated servers allow us each to experience such a diversity of goals, even on the same platform! 😄
Cope lol
💯It’s the classic alt-right playbook of prioritizing civility over the actual message.
Everyone on Hex bear is a right-wing cunt pretending otherwise.
Kill yourself.
