I'm gonna keep this up because it's fun to chuckle at.
BTW if you report posts we're much more quickly to find them. I looked at the reports and I've been removing most of them. I've also informed the other mods.
Please tell me what modern communists are doing in North Korea other than jailing people, and how we position the well by being openly trans inclusive and ban transphobes.
Edit: Lmao you also defened hexbear when they attacked our users. https://imgur.com/98u8Njc
News flash, they won't like trans people because they view queer folk like you and me as enemies of the people.
Reading this and looking at the moderated comments, I'm largely on side with your criticisms, but hexbear is not the most welcoming instance to trans people by a long shot. I'm a disabled trans woman who works with the public and uses it as an opportunity to seed social change. I act as an outside agitator for some local workers struggling with their management. I've done canvassing for Planned Parenthood. I've lived on the street and been part of intentional self-supporting homeless communities. I absolutely reject corporate oversight and I've made sacrifices in my own life to reject capitalistic imperatives. I put my money (or lack thereof) where my mouth is and am leftist as fuck.
And yet the moment i disagree with one of them on anything it's the 'lib' dogpile from a bunch of armchair doom scrollers from the comfort of their heated-seat toilets. I don't feel the vibe that i do from people in the real world I've talked to who've been through struggle and know first hand what's wrong with capitalism and American pseudodemocracy. I feel the vibe i feel from ignorant ass private school teenagers who think they know everything.
Personally, I find Beehaw and Solarpunk a lot more welcoming. Same to .film before it poofed.
Hexbear is to my experience the least welcoming instance to anyone who isn't cosplaying a leftist channer poe troll.
I mean personally they immediately dogpiled me, which has never happened with another instance's users. But I also immediately blocked all the right wing instances on any accounts that didn't start defederated from them, so I'm sure that has substantial impact.
I definitely think they're nowhere near at leftist as they think they are, though, just by virtue of their tendency to stuff memes in their ears and loudly shout libliblib. It reminds me of the racist nimbyism of ostensibly progressive people who aren't ever able to examine their own ideas and behaviors critically.
To me leftism requires some degree of intellectual honesty and humility or it's just the kind of self-serving performative lib bullshit they accuse everyone else of as a literal hobby.
As far as Beehaw goes, I usually use at least one or two other instances to have a bit of a wider reach, but it certainly does make a comfy sort of home base.
Edit: I find the blahaj staff's treatment of a user politely disagreeing with them pretty disappointing. Not winning anybody over in this thread.
Ooh, is that me?
Can you clarify please? Neither myself nor Kaity have been active in this thread
If you're referring to the 196 mods, none of them are Blahaj staff. Feel free to DM me with more details if it's something an admin needs to look in to.
Maybe it was 196 mods? It looks like some of her posts were removed that were completely innocuous.
Just FYI, SLRPNK is the new home of r/twoXchromosomes and they have been told multiple times that the sub name is transphobic and the migration was the perfect time to change it.
Don't know exactly, nor do I care, because I'd rather not be subject to an echo chamber of authoritarian thought.
If you think 196 would be better there, start one there. You're one who's staying here and complaining every time.
It's not as fun to ban someone who's clearly more upset than I am for calling out that they can leave any time. "No, I'm almost enjoying my anger!"
Lemme know how long Hexbear-196 goes before it implodes.
It was me being an ignorant asshole and learning from my mistakes. I can change to better myself, and so can you.
So then I was right at the time of the comment? Wow wild.
Hey don't use that word, its ablest in itself. I'm not saying that as a "gotcha!", I looked into using that word, and its like "br**ndead" and "l*me" as an insult.
Sure no problem!
Thank you
Also no we didn't have to dig, I just went "wait, I recall seeing her before" and went via top of all time.
Man, fuck Hexbear. They are the most transphobic instance by far. I've documented their harassment of me on !dronerights@lemm.ee
