Yo why does the video cut out early, where's the rest

10/10 meme, I nearly cried at this one

The same Brazil that can barely hold itself back from dumping gasoline on the entirety of the Amazon rainforest passed this ruling? How?

Regardless of the finer details of the event (I will consider reading this), there's no question the CCP has a massive censorship apparatus over all their media and education. Why have you guys taken it on yourselves to defend them so virulently? Are you pro censorship and pro government surveillance?

Are you saying the chinese government didn't use it's massive censorship apparatus over their media and education to cover this up? Are you pro-censorship?

Maybe not more than the government but your average Chinese citizen? LOL

Well when you memory hole an event as hard as you can so that an entire generation forgets about a bloody crackdown on democratic ideals, sure. It had more of an affect outside of where that suppression happened because people actually remember.

I was told me another hexbear that essentially you guys don't believe in good faith debate on public forums, hence all the insufferable shitposting and trolling.

Just sticking to the normal level your people operate at!

Oof, guess I'm living my newfound liberalism in confusion. You hexbear people are absolutely delightful in how childish and angsty you are.

damn, guess I'm wrong

Yup, your modern liberal certainly doesn't anymore because they apparently have no principles. Just whatever the party line is at the moment.

Leftists don't believe in free speech? Can you explain to me what makes me a liberal?

If someone is influenced by these people's particular attitudes then they're already not set-up to have their own healthy beliefs and likely don't have intellectual humility. That's a journey everyone needs to find themselves in time. Deplatforming isn't the answer.

Just throwing in my 2 cents, I've had the most infuriating argument with some braindead fucking hexbear tankies, but I absolutely still believe defederation is not the answer. As a leftist, I believe in free speech and freedom of autonomy and association. I just block the worst ones.

If hexbear can keep a reign on their users and they understand they need to follow other sub/instance rules when posting there, and proactively bans abusers, then that's good enough.

edit: also @sunaurus your post is excellent btw

Perfectly understand, and also willing to do the work. I likely won't open it up until I'm sure it's stable, have backups and an upgrade path.

Appreciate taking the time to reply and the notes!

Do you have any GitHub repositories or guides on how you've deployed your Lemmy infrastructure? Hopefully via terraform or the like?
