Comment on Hexbear federation megathread
honeynut@lemm.ee 1 year agoThis is the thing about people that aren’t used to about engaging with hexbear - they aren’t used to holding minoritarian viewpoints. They liked that on other platforms (and IRL) they could just throw around the weight of institutional orthodoxy and “common sense” and be validated by crowd affirmation without having to really explain themselves, so when they’re made to show their work, their argumentation really pales in comparison to users on hexbear who have spent years arguing in favor of some the most suppressed political ideologies in the West.
