Get a load of this guy. Apparently, putting forward "beliefs and ideology" are against their code of conduct.
His comment about blocking lemmygrad don't seem that bad to me, it's getting a bit annoying seeing lost dotworlders thinking they're the first one to ever say "communism bad."

this is absolutely deranged, hexbear admins should have just federated and let hexbears go wild with PPB for a few hours before they got defederated ig, fuck us for not expecting liberals to be smarmy dorks am I right? also here's this post on the grad: https://lemmygrad.ml/post/1115723?scrollToComments=true might as well get your comments in before they decide to defed us too lol
Ahahahahah look at this one out there in the wild

Be respectful. I know, I know they're liberals and it gets frustrating.
But our case won't be helped by harassing them and the issue is not one big site defederating from us, it's if we allow a handful of users to throw a shit-fit and harass them over it which they'll spread around as agit-prop against us to other instances to encourage them to defederate at which point we truly will be alone.
Maybe some people are fine with that but I can live with not posting on liberal instances, not dunking on their users and letting them have their political discussions without interjection if it means more instances I can generally interact with under one account. I don't think any of us here seriously think the situation will be improved by giving them cause. They'd still come here anyways goodness knows to interject their opinions so it's not like withholding posting on their platform and following their rules prevents you from being able to interact with liberals.
Just my opinion. Rather not get us locked out of the fediverse at the start by giving them any excuses. Yes they'll probably do it anyways as they'll manufacture or find one (just as reddit admins were fond of inventing new reasoning and rules to fit the occasion of needing to get rid of troublemakers) but let's try and force them to reach for a reason, not hand them one.
? they already have enough material to make up a reason lol. If they want to get their feelings hurt because I called them deranged on lemmygrad they can go ahead. They're already throwing the idea forward to their users and I promise the ban is going to follow pretty quickly no matter what we do. I'm behaving pretty well on .world rn I think that's plenty
Yeah, they don't really need any excuse whenever they've already manufactured an imaginary enemy out of us. Regardless of how, idk, normal and sane or whatever we all tend to be (because we're human fucking beings), to them we are
- warmongering Putin stans
- LGBTphobic (hilarious given our demographics)
- basically Nazis, maybe even worse
- Sinophiles and Islamophobes
- literal bots
- terrorists
on and on and on. Reading those comments is simply a sight. There is no conversation to be had.
The thing that bugs me the most is the admin worship. I'll be the first to say as a regular user here, any of you admins start doing silly shit I won't "respect your decision", I'll criticize your asses for it. I know you'll listen, though, because you're not petulant liberals who throw tantrums when presented with the mildest criticisms.
Dotworld really does seem to be becoming just like reddit. I thought the whole appeal was decentralization and community building, but I guess it's really just an ego-fluffing project.
it's the concern trolling for me. Over, and over, I see things like "oh, they're saying they won't ban users for breaking other instances' rules!" but like... their admins literally never ban people who come try and troll us in here, and the 2 or 3 times I've pointed that out I get nothing but downvotes because they don't have a good response for that
Dotworld really does seem to be becoming just like reddit
They even have old.lemmy.world, which looks EXACTLY like old Reddit. They want to be Reddit so bad 💀
might as well get your comments in before they decide to defed us too lol
I know it’s at the top of the homepage if you switch to all anyways, but other instances might interpret that as us brigading.
yeah I don't really care, I'm expecting them to defederate us anyways now + I'm not linking directly to any comments or anything
There seems to be pushback from a non negligible number of .world accounts in the comments. If the dissenters aren't just Hexbear alts, this could really fracture their userbase.
Maybe some of them are realizing liberalism is just fascism in disguise, and that disguise is starting to wear off.
Hexbear has officially responded:
https://www.hexbear.net/post/281459
https://www.hexbear.net/comment/3654896 An old image we use to troll libs.
The rhetoric and goal of Hexbar are clear based on their announcement: to “dismantle western propaganda” and "demolish organizations such as NATO” shows that Hexbar has no intention of "respecting the rules of the community instance in which they are posting/commenting.”
Noo not my precious NATO noooo
It’s to push their beliefs and ideology.
What the FUCK do these liberals think they are doing every day on social media?
Promoting the unbiased enlightened truth, OBVIOUSLY. Beliefs and ideology are what Others think.
When the Zuck's Threads was on the horizon, the .world admins were like: "We'll try federating with them" even though their users hated them for it.
Back then I thought they were just stupid, but now they revealed themselves as corporate bootlickers.
The West’s role in the world, through organizations such as NATO, the IMF, and the World Bank - among many others - are deeply harmful to the billions of people living both inside and outside of their imperial core.”
Citing this part as reason is pretty much complete mask off.
Absolute cowards. We're the ones who have to deal with their shitty le redditor user base all the time because they allow anyone to make an account, but have we ever considered defederating? Not even once.
Fascists gonna fascist. Are we really surprised libs would do any of this? It's their default play at this point.
I love how we now meme around the Hexbear demonym lol (it's all in good fun Hexcubs)
Question, could we create a com on lemmygrad that reposts Hexbear's hottest posts and thus have them potentially show up on world anyway? Just an honest, innocent question.
