Folks is our reputation improving? I'm seeing pretty even splits in terms of people defending our instance vs. scratched libs. Some even saying we changed their minds on things.
Crumbling material conditions and the Palestinian genocide.
The US backing of Israel as well as the genocide getting more traction in the public mind has lifted the veil for a lot of "libs who only called themselves libs because they believed it was the left leaning side".
You can tell the US is SUPER pissed that the truth about Palestine got traction. (The whole reason they want to ban TikTok is because they believe that was the weak link in their control of the narrative)
Yeah I think global platforms showing the genocide have been a massive problem for libs. It's hard to feel morally superior to someone while you're defending the people mutilating children on a post showing the mutilated kids. It starts to puncture the illusion of being the reasonable good guy when you're telling people to ignore the bodies.

And their vassals too, like Germany is arresting Jews for antisemitism because they criticized Israel and France just did a public intimidation spectacle arrest of a nurse who was back from Gaza and telling people what really happens there.
Considering the UK is a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie with a big stake in the Zionist Entity's continued existence, I think those laws are being used as intended.

Unironically, y'all are my friends, like real friends. Not anyone specific, just the person reading this. I hope I've been as nice to you all as you've been to me over the years (shit I've been here a few years now).
I'd say that's true. There's a lot of well read people here who are absolutely willing to be patient with someone who was combative from the start or the second it's apparent they didn't read the room and thought whatever arrogant platitudes they posted were gonna go over just fine and then didn't. They come to our house and act out of line, they're gonna get ripped to shreds because it's our space.
its hard to make us into a north korea situation when people can just come and see, the more we live rent free in their heads, the more they talk about us, the more people get curious and come look and its like, just anticapitalist memes and people posting cat pics

The UK is cracking down hard on pro-Palestine journalists here by misusing anti-terror laws too.

European libs with Telegram now too.
I definitely saw a few who specifically said that if you engage in good faith that Hexbear isn't bad.
We are really nice actually
Just have a zero tolerance policy for imperialist propaganda

Crazy how it all started. Having fun, mocking libs on reddit. Years later, somehow, here we are.
Absolutely agree with that assessment from all of the hexbear interactions I've had.
Even then I usually operate a one or two-strike policy when a first strike policy would be perfectly acceptable.
Let them learn something or reveal themselves to be bad faith dipshits.

Our house
In the middle of our street
Our house

Which is pretty much how it went on reddit
I only joined 9 months ago but in the 4 or so months I was on lemm.ee y'all changed some of my perspectives on the DPRK
Propaganda works both ways. Keep up the posting comrades
I posted on the old sub for years and I didn't come around on the dprk until I'd been here a couple years tbh.
