I really don’t understand lemm.ee policy here. Hexbear is clearly a SPAM instance, but because they spam under the guise of leftist principles we’re just gonna let it slide. If explodingheads was this active and this toxic they would be de-federated 100%. Hexbear users brigade and spam every thread including this one. Being actively hostile, launching bad faith arguments. Don’t engage with these turds, just block and move on. We NEED instance blocking or lemmy is fucking toast.

    TC69 did nothing wrong and the pronoun option setting these types off without fail is a constant reminder of this.

We are openly hostile but only to bigots and bad faith posters.

  what kind of mentality is this? “I’m being hostile to you because you deserve it.”

    It comes from a disregard of Civility politics. So often Liberals will come to us with bad faith, poorly researched takes, and demand an argument.
    
    Hexbear generally embodies a disrespect for the civility politics and bad faith concern trolls. As an instance we typically act as a single unified unit, which is rare for an online community.
    
    It’s nothing personal, but a lot of the members are very well read in theory and history, and propagate that to other users with well sourced arguments. If someone comes in and demands that their propaganda based opinion is the only truth, some will try good faith reasoning. If that good faith attempt is lambasted as being a bot/troll/brigade after effort put in to educate, we’ll become hostile.
    
    An internet argument is rarely for the participants, but for the people lurking through. Often times, this method is effective at getting people to question the generally accepted narrative.
    
    I hope you have a good day and please consider logging off for a bit. It’s really nothing personal.

    Bigotry deserves nothing but chiding derision. Bad faith gets met with bad faith. How is that hard to understand?
    
    “I’m being hostile to you because you deserve it.”
    
    That isn’t what I said. Cause and effect can’t just be swapped around all willy-nilly like that. This is called gaslighting when its done intentionally but when its done unintentionally it can often be a sign of a personality disorder.

    IDK, armchair diagnosing someone like this comes across as ableist.

    Like I agree with most of that but the “This is called gaslighting when its done intentionally but when its done unintentionally it can often be a sign of a personality disorder.” is a bad take

    Does no one deserve hostility? I think there are many people who deserve hostile treatment. Are we to sit around and politely chat with nazis? No, fuck 'em, verbal abuse is the least they deserve.

This thread is on active, no “brigade” necessary. Someone made a post about a funny element of the rant but deliberately excluded a link, username, and instance information.

So you’re fine with being federated with nazis as long as you can ignore them, but leftists who call you out on your transphobia is a step to far.

I don’t have any questions here, just stating what a despicable pile of dog vomit you are.

  Isn’t there a genocide somewhere you should be out denying?
