you commented on cth.
Well yeah I guess I should have expected this coming lol. But to be fair I don’t think me commenting on cth justifies their personal insults.
Also, another half of personal insults happened on !worldnews@lemmy.ml.

okay but here’s the thing - you commented on cth. what did you expect
this is like going on to 4chan /r9k/, being offended, then writing a letter to your isp saying “can you block access to 4chan for your customers”
don’t ask lemm.ee to defederate, just block the community
also the megathread is probably locked for a reason

no, it doesn’t. but it also doesn’t justify you demanding that l.ee blocks them entirely. personally, i haven’t had any bad experiences w/ hexbear, and i’m subscribed to at least one of their lemmyspheres.

yeah, that i can’t (and have no plans to) defend. but my i did skim the thread i believe you’re talking about, and whilst some of your ripostes are quite good; my advice would just be to block AntiOutsideAktion@hexbear.net and just not engage. just walk away from the computer and make a cup of tea. i know that’s what i do
if you feel like being courteous you can tell the person that, or you can just block them and not respond
I think I have made it pretty clear that while I condemn Zenz fatuous remarks on Nazis, I still believe that his observations about Xinjiang are not necessarily incorrect. However, numerous Hexbears gripped on to this point and repeatedly attacked and slandered me for defending Nazi apologia or outright claiming that I am a Nazi apologist.
I did not defend Nazi apologia or Nazi apologists.
They are literally lying to you. They are still defending a modern Nazi. By defending any of Zenz views on non-white people they are by definition doing Nazi apologia. The problem lies in that they had this pointed out and doubled down. I have plenty of critiques on China that aren’t really relevant here, because my opinion of China isn’t really on trial here. I am mostly concerned with the specific arguments and angle this user is coming at this with.
Much in the same way that there is a difference between someone criticizing George Soros for being a capitalist vs. Nazis who hate him because he is Jewish and wealthy.
nakoichi, i don’t care. i, too, read the post. i’m not taking sides in an argument between you and randint: i’m saying that i like hexbear and i dont’t want to defed them, and if randint doesn’t like you i’m advising him in how not to get drawn into an argument
I think your conclusion is right but I think a more sound reasoning is that Zenz is plainly a christofascist and randint is defending Zenz by trying to argue that the Nazi sympathizing doesn’t influence the validity of other geopolitical claims. That definitionally makes him a fascist apologist.
Thanks for the suggestion. I actually have been considering blocking that user.
yeah don’t consider it. maybe it’s just me being influenced by tumblr cultr, but 1) he won’t know, 2) there’s no point in arguing with someone if neither of you are going to change the other’s mind, 3) it harms no-one. just block anyone you don’t want to talk to
i’ll admit i almost never blocked anyone on reddit, but there were so many people it was kind of useless. here it actually can make a difference to your experience, i think

We do a new Megathread every day, we wouldn’t lock it because of one unimaginative impotent weasel Nazi sympathizer.

i think randint is talking about the lemmee megathread where we were discussing whether to defed hexbear. i have no idea why he’d post this on your megathread
Nakoichi@hexbear.net 1 year ago
You’d be surprised how often that actually happens.
Zeus@lemm.ee 1 year ago
really? just people posting their thoughts on your instance? what’s the point?

Yes, that’s what I am talking about. The Hexbear Federation Megathread posted by our admin about 2 weeks ago. I have never posted on any megathread on Hexbear.
