BirdyBoogleBop, to memes in Great deal ngl

Well I’m glad Hexbears have stopped spamming pig testicles at least. But. First impressions mean a lot and they did not make a good one.

If you were more offended by PPBs than what the people we posted that in response to were saying then you deserved to be offended che-si

BirdyBoogleBop,

You sent it to everyone who said anything you didn’t like day one of you federating. Lemmy.ml news and politics communities basically just became a toxic waste dump for a month and a half because hexbears thought people weren’t left enough, or thinking that Russia invading Ukraine was bad.

BurgerPunk,
@BurgerPunk@hexbear.net avatar

Then it was already a toxic waste dump. You just agreed with the opinions we were pushing back on

BirdyBoogleBop,

By arguing in bad faith and throwing the baby with the bathwater.

BurgerPunk,
@BurgerPunk@hexbear.net avatar

Your principled critic

Our bad faith argument

shrug-outta-hecks you don’t agree with us. Don’t pretend like it’s anything different.

I don’t see how the baby bieng thrown out cliche applies. We see libs parroting bullshit we reply, there’s no baby to be thrown out when it comes to libs and their propaganda or brainworms

BirdyBoogleBop,

Don’t know your specific beliefs but no in all liklihood I don’t agree with you. I don’t think I even remotely preteneded that. We probably agree on some things but I expect our over arching political beliefs are going to be at odds.

Just for my knowledge is a liberal anyone who isn’t a Marxist-leninist? Are Fascists Liberals under your definition?

BurgerPunk,
@BurgerPunk@hexbear.net avatar

No, just liberals are liberals. People who ultimately support capital and liberal democracy. You don’t have to be ML. Hexbear is non-sectarian, but we expect internationalist, anti-capitalist, and supportive of intersectional struggle from people on the actual left.

Fascism is basically capital abandoning liberalism to defend itself from socialism. So, fascists arent liberals. But sometimes when they get scratched the fash does comes out. Ask the average lib about the homeless, or Roma for european libs.

If you care more about how we agrue than what we’re argueing about then you don’t agree with us on anything you wouldn’t abandon in a heartbeat

¯_(ツ)_/¯ I sort of look at them as amusement. It’s not like what they want will happen In our lifetimes (or ever probably). I don’t necessarily get why everyone hates them, just try looking at them as funny content lol

You must not have seen the amount of genocide denial they do, or the amount of simping for dictators.

Dubious_Fart,

I genuinely don’t understand why the admins are dragging ass and not just defederating from them already. They provide nothing of value, just spam and harassment.

Gormadt,
@Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Because if memory serves both Lemmy.ml and Lemmygrad share some admins with each other

And with Lemmygrad and Hexbear loving each other: federation is going to stay a thing over here

One of the things I love about the instance I’m on is that we’re defederated from Hexbear, it’s pretty nice NGL

pinkdrunkenelephants,

Because you’re on a tankie instance. Go to sopuli.xyz; the admin banned all extremists left and right so it’s smooth sailing.

ThrowawayPermanente,

Because it worked on them. At some point someone was a smug, obnoxious cunt to them online and they were like “Wow, thanks, I guess I’m a communist now!”

Franzia,

Me but with Vaush and he supports a more democratic and less genocidal version of communism.

Facebones, to memes in Great deal ngl

All I’ve seen from Hexbear is class consciousness shit, but everybody else has made it the key point of their online existence to rage on them and do all the garbage they accuse hexbear of. 🤷

Sorry y’all can’t adequately explain why giving every cent of the economy to three people is a good thing.

EDIT: I hear what people are saying but it sounds like, from my limited experience of looking at posts pushed to me from there, that people are using the actions of a few to discredit the beliefs and opinions of everyone they disagree with.

EDIT2: LOL @ the people calling me names then blocking me for disagreeing with them. Thought that was Hexbear did, not you EnLigHtEnEd TyPeS JFC 😂

axont,

You’ve only seen class consciouss shit? I’m very sorry you haven’t seen more of our sick emojis

Facebones,

I do hate these, are they supposed to take up a whole screens worth of blank space each or is that my Connect app being weird about it.

axont,

It’s unintended and it’s why I’ve been hesitant to post emojis on other instances. It’s why I used spoiler tags.

They’re not supposed to be so big. They look more normal sized on Hexbear. I’m told some Lemmy devs are working on a fix for it soon.

JudahBenHur,

It was the calls to murder anyone who supports a democratic candidate, with the justification that cops have killed homeless people that turned me off.

that and the stupid image emojis

Zuzak,

Always fun to see accusations with no link and speculate on what actually happened.

You have sources on that first bit lol? I’m not sure what you’re talking about.

Unless you’re meaning jokes about fascist voters falling down a manhole or something?

NoiseColor,

No I mean your disgusting uninformed coments that don’t value life at all and make fun out of people that are fighting for their lives.

TheCaconym,

On that topic, it’s been 20 days and you still haven’t managed to produce an answer; what are the “bizzare arguments” from hexbears, and how have they been “debunked so many times” ?

Maoo,
@Maoo@hexbear.net avatar

Per the other reply to you, you might recall when I went over our consensus perspective on Ukraine, how it is motivated by understanding the best possible outcome for Ukrainian lives and contrasting this with the bloodthirsty liberal approach you’ve supported (all dressed up in “concern”).

Is it the “uninformed” and life-devaluing comments you’re referring to?

Tell me, what was your reply to that explanation?

UnicodeHamSic,

If it was me I would simply not die for a country thst didn’t appreciate me. Follow your bliss I guess tho

OprahsedCreature,

The ones about how America will fight Russia to the last Ukrainian?

smollittlefrog,

The issue with Hexbear is that their users tend to talk in a very demeaning and insulting manner. About half of the popular posts on Hexbear are about making fun of people or communities. Their political views are less of an issue; it’s more about their toxic behaviour.

This can be interpreted as bad faith if you don’t mention towards whom this behavior is directed at.

Their political views are less of an issue

Thank you for admitting it’s about the optics (which is not a concern for us)

Facebones,

I mean, that’s most people inside the more mainstream American Overton window of mid right to far right, but nobody bats an eye at that because they’re upholding the status quo. 🤷

smollittlefrog,

Do you see instances who’s main purpose is to represent “people inside the more mainstream American Overton window of mid right to far right” that are even nearly as popular as Hexbear?

If you’re browsing all you frequently see posts from Hexbear users. I’m yet to come across a noticable amount of posts from users from an instance which represent the group you mentioned.

(I couldn’t even name a single instance that fits that description, because if they exist, they’re not nearly as active as Hexbear.)

Toxic people exist on all public instances. But on some they’re more common than on others.

Facebones,

Yeah, it’s called most of the internet. 🤷

What you’re saying then is it’s OK to stereotype users and bully them for their beliefs and opinions, then use any response other than quiet submission as proof that they’re bad.

Cause all the posts I’ve seen from it is mundane, and the only times I’ve ever seen it’s users act a fool is in response to everyone screeching at them for not adhering to popular opinion (usually with no coherent point other than “tankie bad durr” whatever a tankie is, I’m assuming a slur for leftists.)

Can I punch you then run around telling everyone what a violent cunt you are when you punch me back? Cause that’s what it looks like to me, I’ve been getting alot of wild claims about hexbear but nobody has any point of reference to back it up though.

Civility,

😔

BurgerPunk,
@BurgerPunk@hexbear.net avatar

And who exactly do we talk in a demeaning and insulting manner to? What is that the people we respond to that way say?

No one who posts this kind of civilty or optics concerns about our behaviour ever mentions that.

If you’re more offended by our responses than the things we push back against you deserve to be offended

JokeDeity, to memes in Great deal ngl

Obligatory: fuck hexbear and fuck Lemmygrad.

glibg10b, to linuxmemes in The greatest debate of our time

You seem to like the lines-of-code metric. There are many lines of GNU code in a typical Linux distribution. You seem to suggest that (more LOC) == (more important). However, I submit to you that raw LOC numbers do not directly correlate with importance. I would suggest that clock cycles spent on code is a better metric. For example, if my system spends 90% of its time executing XFree86 code, XFree86 is probably the single most important collection of code on my system. Even if I loaded ten times as many lines of useless bloatware on my system and I never excuted that bloatware, it certainly isn’t more important code than XFree86. Obviously, this metric isn’t perfect either, but LOC really, really sucks. Please refrain from using it ever again in supporting any argument.

rikudou,
@rikudou@lemmings.world avatar

Can confirm it’s a shitty metric. I once saved the company I was working at few millions by changing one line of code. And it took 3 days to find it. And it was only 3 characters changed.

The current flag is ahhh, pretty bad. Like its just awful looking, and the native american racism too.

I’m not sure she’s correct about milk melting faster than cream or that the “deflates” if you whip too much air into it.

One of the three main differences between the ice cream and gelato is air content. ice cream has more air and doesn’t loose it over night; it would be bubbly too with all the air escaping. Gelato melts quicker because it is served 10 to 15 degrees F warmer than ice cream (this main differences).

Low air content and warmer temp is why gelato is smoother.

Source: My Italian wife and I have had long discussions and Internet searches on the finer points of this topic. I’m not an expert, I could be wrong.

I love the idea of walking in, leaning close to the banana flavor, and turning around and walking out because its too yellow.

Annoyed_Crabby,

Not before you take out a colour swatch fan and compare the colour, shake your head and mumbling something then walk out

When in Rome, eat gelato at Frigidarium like the Romans do
