These bigoted, ignorant scum will never listen to anything. They are politically illiterate infants with an allergic reaction to reading.
They have ruined a safe space cultivated and cared for, they have turned this place into a new reddit.
I had a dude in my private messages going on about how I was both mutilating myself and other children. Many more people on hexbear have had similar experiences, with these worthless ignorant scum popping in to deliver the political equivalent of a giant shit.
As your friends, comrades, and people you say you defend get slurred at, dehumanized, and harassed please ask yourself:
Is it worth it?
I have the answer, I know you know it as well:
No its not
I used to think otherwise
I was a fool
its not worth a few laughs
even if you dunk all you want, that doesn't take away the knife those people put in our backs.
These bigots, fascists, and NATO liberals are as worthless offline as they are here, why should we give them any attention. They are worth less than the dirt beneath our fingernails. Why should we poison ourselves with their influence? We don't make any room for them offline, why should we not online?
And really
How many essays have your written?
How many sources have you combed through?
How many times have you explained the most basic facts of reality?
How many attempts at good faith?
Only for them to dismiss it in their stupidity. They don't read it, they just crumble and divert back to the programming these little shits trust in more than God.
For every time there is a good faith user, there are a dozen scumbag fascists. And most of the time, the "good faith one" just reverts back to their old shit.
Do you really think losing any member of the hexbear or lemmygrad community, longtime members or not, is worth a few good dunks?
I don't believe a small chance of gaining a new user is worth alienating an entire section of the community. The vast majority of those idiots are lost causes. If they are interested, the can just make an account and ask in good faith.
Is posting a meme to "own the liberals" worth your comrades getting more trauma from bigots harassing them?
No its not.
you've had your laugh, but it should end
Ban them all, SJW, lemm.ee, lemmy, the programmer nazi edglords. Keep Lemmygrad.
Defederate from those communities. We shouldn't sacrifice our own for more clicks. For having to subject ourselves to the opinions of people thoroughly brainwashed? We aren't reddit. We came here to get away from that. I'm sick of this. We are sick of this.
End it now
This might come off as rude or mean but I don't really understand the water that is always carried for ada on this site. She failed to act in the face of all the legitimate issues that were clear as day on their instance.
Unless I misread the situation. As admins they should have immediately banned the 196 moderator after they released internal messages with hexbear admins. It's unacceptable conduct for someone who is moderating. Their admin teams lack of appropriate response clearly signaled to me they care more about maintaining their fief than any sort of good faith action.
I don’t really disagree with you, I’m just saying we treated blahaj way more critically than I see us treating sjw. Ada protected transphobes and chasers, the mods at sjw are blocking hexbear posters and it’s infested with fascists. I feel that defedarating from blahaj was correct, but cannot see any reason why sjw was even considered
Your right I just got off on a tangent my b
No worries, I’m guilty of hoping there could have been trans solidarity between hexbear and blahaj, and appreciate being reminded that there was a lot of rot in that instance that made it impossible for it to be a safe space for our trans comrades
Yeah not sure why people preface every comment critical of Blahaj with like "Actually Ada is a queen who can do no wrong BUT"
It's her instance! If it sucks that's because of the choices she made! Also "people of NATO" lmao
