Hello as you’ve read from the title I’m a Palestinian who lives currently in the occupied territories of Palestine known as the West Bank ,my friend is a moderator here and he told me I should make a post introducing myself ,I once looked up “for Reddit but for leftists” and this is the site that I found ,anyways I personally love reading Manga ,Books,and Playing Chess
I am a Marxist Leninist ,can you believe the username Mohammed is not taken ? ,my friend told me that this space was too “white” but I didn’t think he was that right
Anyways Nice to meet you all
The reactionaries on the lemmyverse will often show up to do single drive-by comments here on Hexbear, but they never do it in the news mega because they fear our power and effortposting
What type of reactionaries are they exactly?
Mostly standard NATO-loving liberals, because we've defederated from the explicitly fascist lemmy instances, but there are still assholes who make accounts to try to "troll", but it always just comes across as really sweaty and sad
HOW ARE THEY HERE 😭
FUCK NATO
IN JAHANAM INSHAALLAH
Fuck NATO forever
😆 🫡
Hexbear is a Lemmy instance. Lemmy is a federated and open-source alternative to Reddit. A federated social network is one that is composed of different instances that can communicate with each other. When a user joins lemmy, they choose an instance and register on it. They can then from that account on that instance communicate with the rest of the federated network. So besides hexbear.net, there's also lemmygrad.ml, lemmy.ml (where I am from, and you can see that despite us being on different instances we can still communicate with each other), and others. It works sort of like email. If you register on hotmail.com you can send emails to any user that has a hotmail.com account, but you can also send emails to someone using gmail.com, posteo.de, yandex.ru, sapo.pt or any other email provider.
The people mentioned are generally on other instances that do not have the same culture or rules as hexbear, you can however block those users or even entire instances if you want to.
can I make an account there on lemmy I mean
You already are on lemmy. Hexbear is part of lemmy.
wow
You could make an account on Lemmy.world if you want to argue with a bunch of white NATO- loving Zionist Liberal Fascists. Lemmy.world and HexBear are removedd from each other because they don't like how leftist we are and we don't like how fascist they are.
Personally I hate seeing their inane discourse when I accidentally stumble upon it on a different account that can see Lemmy.world. I deal with too many racist white people in my everyday life as it is.
pls NO
The good thing about being here is that you're surrounded by people who will help shout them down and/or ban them if they cross lines
that's great ,thanks
the lemmy liberal posts are always fun because they are relatively few, and always get dogpiled by our commie posting supersoldiers
good
