honestly it's a pretty friendly instance all told, we just have p strong feelings about politics and bigotry

and admittedly a lot of us have little patience for the worst among you bc we deal with that shit permeating society at every level on a constant basis

Oh, so you understand how everyone else feels about you then.

[–] RuthlessCriticism@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

Yeah, cognitive dissonance hurts, so you respond aggressively, perfectly understandable, if disappointing.

hey ditto! i have very little patience for the worst among you, because when i look through comment sections looking for discourse i instead see you fuckers starting the same 5 arguments.

also, coincidentally, i see a lot of folks from marginalized groups specifically complaining about y’all being insensitive and shitty. it’s hard to respect what you say your motives are when your camp is acting like it is.

Really? cause when I look through comment sections it's always liberals spewing the same fucking lines, and acting like everyone they disagree with can't possibly also be from marginalized groups. (In fact most seem to take the fact that you disagree with them as prima facie evidence that you can't be from a marginalized group!)

The amount of casual misogyny, racism, and generally sickening comments I've seen has shot through the roof since we federated, and it's exclusively been coming from lemmitors.

Give me an example of a user from Hexbear being racist/transphobic/homophobic etc.

Just one. Please.

we'd 'brigade' ourselves if he even found one lol

If this is how you initiate discussion - with hostility - then that experience does not surprise me. Consider being less shitty yourself.

I find that very hard to believe. The websites modteam is majority LGBTQ+ we have a diverse group of users, and this is because the mod team takes bigotry very seriously. If you see any bigoted takes please report them, and also please give me some examples of this from hexbear users.
