malicious hexbears are taking advantage of people's trauma to turn them against the west folks (and judging by the recent survey, turning them trans too? kyle )

    the love bombing thing was from some .world account when they were doing their "preemptive defederation". claimed we were love bombing but also 4chan and secretly right wing.

    but yeah there's like a fake, saccharine kind of "friendly" say in many places on reddit that is really artificial and cloying

    i don't mean that more that people tend to have real conversations here even if we are still all online-brained. none of the smarmy lib stuff. and yes there is a lot of passion but people know when to walk away and cool off generally

      god i was heavily involved in the fighting of that thread with my grad account im surprised i dont remember it. the thread was fucking huge though so i probably just missed it

      i actually think a space with heightened civility rules could be made to work with communists, i find a lot of the worst, idk, gross smarmy passive aggressiveness comes from liberals in online spaces. i guess i'd have to see one try it to see if my theory works out
