My handlers are asking me to tell you not to link/tag the comment or post, to prevent accusations of brigading obviously, but there have been a ton that should be added as new taglines for the site.

The one that prompted this post:

I'm fine with interacting with people of different ideologies and cultures, but I feel like the hexbears mostly just want to harass us "tankies".

Huh? Do you mean "liberals"? Hexbears are the ones liberals and leftcoms call "tankies"

From what I can tell, which so far is decidedly little, everyone is calling everyone tankies.

I also hope it's not narcissistic to post my own

in relation to freedom in America vs freedom in "authoritarian countries":

people get arrested during strikes and protests all the time in America. of course, you would justify it as "actually they were breaking Clause 8 of Section 9A so it was against the law and they shouldn't have done it!" without questioning if that law might possibly have been drawn up specifically to punish those people because the government couldn't do it legally before. no, all laws in America come straight out of the Founding Father's dick as a glorious bukkake for us all to share freely, while in tyrannical states like Russia and China, all laws are to be questioned and/or drawn up by the supreme ruler himself because he was really extra totalitarian that day

never try idealism kids, it turns you into this

Ugh. When I was back on Reddit comments like those would always be downvoted to hell.

When @President_Obama@hexbear.net posted

this response

I like it when a cute guy gets a boner and has to try and hide it from me, getting all flustered and embarrassed :top-use-words: and I don't think it counts as sexual attraction E: oh this is c/music

when @corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net asked for music hot takes

What a great post, taken down by our tankie mods 😔

Uhhh, let me be clear. I don't think it counts as sexual attraction because I'd hate this IRL - I'm asexual and aromantic. For some reason thinking about cute, flustered, boys makes me smile. Best of both worlds really, I get to think gay thoughts and don't have to bother with relationships.

someone did a copypasta of the liberal saying where soviet soldiers would pick up guns off of dead bodies cause they had none, but with keyboards and hexbear users

I remember when someone posted the Jordan Peterson fetish tweet, someone just responded with xibe-check

Someone accused us of downvote brigading and brigading Lemmy dot world.

We do not have downvotes, and we have never been federated with Lemmy dot world

I think they made an account here just in case we defed party-sicko

[–] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

Well, I have now, now that we're actually defederating. I'm sure hoping it'll be longer before I have to make an Erika4sis somewhere.
