Are you telling us this as an example of the kind of things they will tell you at Amazon, or is this something you believe too?
I don't think people who downvote you think being an asshole should be illegal. They just think you're an asshole.
Looks like they're the opposite actually, tankies. Still good riddance.
From their news post about federation:
- One of the few instances they'll federate with is lemmygrad
- "We do not, as a site, have an official line regarding Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and a wide variety of viewpoints are represented in discussions. This includes many users with varying degrees of support for Russia, which some people may find confusing or objectionable."
- Highly upvoted comments reacting negatively to the text above because it's not pro-Russia enough. ("Putin is not a fundamentally evil person", "it is a decade of diplomatic failure, with Russia trying to do the right thing and getting blamed for it.")
- "Do not follow the Chapo Rules of Posting, instead try to engage utilizing informed rhetoric with sources to dismantle western propaganda. Posting the western atrocity propaganda and pig poop balls is hilarious but will pretty quickly get you banned and if enough of us do it defederated. Realize that you are a representative of the hexbear instance when you post on other instances."
I see, that is concerning.
The Dude seems to be trying to fence sit on extremely vitriolic transphobia and refusing to listen to the trans folks who are trying to warn everyone
That seems to be the consensus but I don't see where it comes from yet? This latest thing seems to have happened over the course of a day and their last message is 2 days ago.
For the "the donald" thing they appeared after a bit like "hey, catching up on everything, obviously it's gonna go". Seems likely the same would happen here? Just feels like a busy regular guy who could use some mods.
Unless there's some non-public stuff I'm not aware of as a newcomer?
Vancouver has a boardgame pizzeria out of all things: https://www.ludica.ca/
You'd think that handling pizza slices and handling boardgame components at the same time would be a recipe for disaster but it works pretty well somehow. They have a good collection of games and the pizzas are great too.
That's a bit far-fetched. The name "shit just works" doesn't have any right-wing connotations. If you google it you get Bethesda memes and some Apple stuff.
I think the admin is just one dude who wasn't prepared for their instance to become so big. So far they've done the right thing given a couple days. Yesterday I saw an "anti vax" community on sh.itjustwor.ks, I reported it, today it's gone.
Until I see an actual "actually we should debate the Nazis" comment from them or maybe like a week has passed without action I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt.
Viticulture replaced 2 bonus cards that depicted conquistadors:

For me the pinned message doesn't show up so there's no overlap.
If that was his 5D chess masterplan, why is he currently in panic mode, calling the coalition "unnatural", painting it far-left, and calling for a fight against "all extremes"?
Likelier he expected the RN to take it, after which they would have 3 years to show their colors, making them less likely to win the 2027 presidential elections. It was a stupid risky move.
