Awoo

I’ve been having a number of conversations on Hexchan recently trying to make sense of their politics.

No you have not. There is absolutely no pro-Trump sentiment among Hexbear users. You are full of shit.

This user is completely making shit up about Hexbear.

Imperialism does not mean "of empire". It is an economic system, the highest stage of capitalism.

Source: Trust me bro.

lmao

In the 3 years Hexbear has been around it has been attacked A LOT because obviously far right chuds have an interest in messing with leftists but has not to my knowledge had an admin breach. At one point image embeds were completely disabled because they were handing over data they shouldn't though and risked exposing people to doxxing.

There is a score kept in the backend, it just has no frontend in default lemmy and only exists if instance devs want to do something custom with it. Some apps are probably using it.

Oh wow this thread goes way back. I know what happened here it wasn't defederation but simply Beehaw doing it's ideological thing. I was banned on their instance because I am a socialist much like every other socialist that makes an account here and attempts to post or comment over there.

They alos claim they only defederate for "hate speech" but this is nonsense. They have Hexbear defederated and yet that is the only instance in the entire fediverse with visible pronouns next to usernames, and they crack down far harder on hate speech than any other instance that exists.

The reality of Beehaw is that they are an ideologically motivated neoliberal instance that repress any opposition while pretending that they do not.

EDIT: OH and the irony of their defederation with Hexbear is that it's not even federated with ANYONE as it was using a fork of Lemmy without federation until very recently.

Rule 1: Be civil and nice.

IBS too!

Lmao what a stupid argument. If you want money paywall your content and see how many people really want to see it. You do not have the right to fill anyone's head with manipulative garbage propaganda just because you made a video about how much you love the second reich and want it to retvrn or wrote some shitty blog post.

People that call themselves CONTENT creators are the people churning out pure garbage for the bazinga-brained sake of contentcontentcontent and the quality of actually worthwhile shit would skyrocket if they would all just collectively quit because what would be leftover are the people who actually care and aren't in it for some ad views.

Artists, critics, musicians, designers, etc etc? They don't call themselves content creators like the bazinga-brained influencers in it purely to chase metrics. Tell the bazingas to fuck off.

The system IS federation.

It's not criticising flaws in a system, it's literally asking to dismantle it entirely. You can't have the fediverse or decentralisation without federation. That's the issue.

You either have centralisation. Or you have decentralised federation as a means of providing the size that centralised social media can reach without the centralisation part.

The crying about it being a flaw is just people whining about wanting what they're used to with absolutely no differences. They need to be told to simply get used to it with none of this babying. Their crappy suggestions and complaints are antithetical to the entire goal of fediverse.

All of them will go back to reddit and then find themselves back here in a few years when it's the content slop machine that they want it to be. They don't actually care about the goal, they just want slop and are unhappy that their are complications about getting their slop.
