Some communities there are literally calling for the annihilation of Ukraine

edit: Since people are either willfully or otherwose are missing my point, this is a pro-russia, pro-fascist hate group, therefore we shouldn't give them the platform to spread their shit. this is not about me seeing their community or then causing issues accross other communities, it's about de-platforming fascists.
The link for the original doesn't seem to work. I assume there's some missing context here. Still funny that they're calling hexbear pro-Russia and fascist. The comment isn't even by a hexbear. It's by one of ours.
To be clear, I mean the government and their lackeys but not the people of Ukraine
So as I suspected, OP clipped you out of context. Libs are so sad.
You can see the comment right here: https://lemmygrad.ml/comment/1597460 The person above me refers to the military action and my reply was about the military action
idk feels like the same "government not the people" thing we decry libs for. I know you actually mean what you mean, but that kind of description isn't fitting to our goals and libs will jump to take it out of context.
I was joking when I used that terminology because of that but rather I just wanted to specify that I don’t want Ukrainian genocide. Quite frankly, I don’t think we should have to worry about being taken out of context inside of leftists spaces. No one within Hexbear or Lemmygrad expressed any issue with my comment on its own. Maybe it’s not the best thing to say but I was (and still am) angry about people defending Ukraine and Zelensky. You are right that I should be more specific about what I mean. I don’t think I was wrong in what I said on its own but I don’t want to cause Hexbear any problems
You aren't causing hexbears any problems, smooth brain libs are looking for a reason to cry to their admins. You got caught in the fire. If they don't defederate it will be some other fake contravorsey they'll come up with next week.
Though it is tough to know when someone is targeting people, or governments. I guess I always lean on longer posts myself. Just in case.
This was my take as well. If this was in one of the programming communities then I can see the need to ensure that we word our comments in a way in which they cannot be taken out of context. But this was on hexbear which is a safe space for us to talk without having to worry about that.
As a long time hexbear user, you're causing no issues. Our resident anarchist (as in one of the more active ones) just got us to defederate from blahaj because their 196 comm has a "Fuck Tankies" banner and they hopped in and dragged the mod there about it until the mod threw a temper tantrum and removed their comments.
What you said is pretty tame compared to usual posting there lol
