Comment on hexbear.net comically loses its domain name

• NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

  Lemmy, in general, is left leaning with the lead dev and “main” instance being unabashedly tankies.

  Hexbear is the big instance of people who are so fucked they tend to get banned even from there. The ml crowd is generally still worth talking to. Whereas the hexbear crowd immediately jump to harassment the moment they decide you failed a purity test because you advocated for a social program rather than insisting the entire system needs to be burned down and a managed economy run by putin put in its place.

  Needless to say: Anyone who spends enough time “on lemmy” is either on an instance that banned hexbear or muted them themselves.

    Appreciate the explanation. I’ve seen some remarks about the instance on passing, I’ve just never paid close enough attention to how communities have interacted with each other in the past.

    I leave em, it’s fun to watch them go and post their stickers, it’s almost like twitch chat

  When I accidentally interacted with one of their communities, it basically felt like a tankie 4chan. After that I just banned the entire instance.

    I’m not familiar with the first subreddit, what was that about?

      Hex, .ml and grad are part of the Tankie Triad. Tankies are authoritarians and often hard to tell apart from far right nutjobs

        Oh right. When I first heard about Lemmy, I tried to join .ml because it was the first instance I was made aware of. I think it was being rate limited at the time due to that whole reddit exodus thing, and I wasn’t able to get through, but. .world let me sign up so here I am.

        I’d like to think that members of a given instance have their own opinions. It’s sad to hear about how territorial lemmy is.

      It was by the largest (by a fair margin) socialist-aligned subreddit, but in practice it was like 60% shitposts. Was originally associated with the eponymous podcast, but the hosts have repeatedly said they disliked it.
