  Rowdy and very active left-leaning instance which recently rejoined the rest of lemmy. They tend to be very vocal in calling out racism, sexism, homophobia and other forms of bigotry, which has made certain users very angry. On the other hand, some of them seem to be very tolerant of certain authoritarian countries, which makes a certain other group of users very uncomfortable.

    Left leaning? Every post I saw from them before finally filtering the instance was heavily right leaning and filled with everything you just claimed they are against.

      The left right thing sometimes feel more like a circle and if center was at the top of the circle then tankies and the alt-right would be at the bottom pretty to close to one another. They both want to own the people that are closer to center, they both have a love affair with Russia, they both deny genocides, they both believe in authoritarianism…

        Yup, horseshoe theory. At a certain point, it’s hard to tell authoritarians apart.

      Left wing as in socially and econimically. Not sure what you mean by right wing.

      They’re communists, are very trans friendly, and deny genocide.

        they’re communists

        No they’re not. They’re damaging to socialist causes if anything.

      Do you have any links to prove this right leaning behavior?

      • ChronosWing@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        No, because I filtered the entire instance after the 4th “OwN duh LiBs” post.

      Are you kidding? They unironically are fans of Stalin and other left wing ideologues. I have never seen a hexbear user who was anything but left wing.

    Uhh, it’s more that they are fascists than calling out any kind of racism.

    To me it seems more like creative interpretation of everything as those things if it doesn’t fit with their groupthink. It’s not “calling out” if they’re abusing it as a general purpose weapon, that’s just bullying.

      But bigots should be bullied until they shut up. No one has a right to treat others as subhuman. I often see casual bigotry on lemmy and other forums, and this is probably the first time I’m seeing such an active resistance. Hexbears are definitely blind to bad things when they are done by certain people, but they are 100% right in pointing out bad things done by everyone else.

        That’s not what I was talking about though. From what I’ve seen it seems like the average hexbear user’s definition of a bigot is everyone who disagrees with them. So this isn’t about bullying bigots, it’s about using the concept of a bigot as an excuse for bullying.

    certain authoritarian countries

    Which ones?

  It’s where the far right go to play dress up as LGBT and call everyone else a nazi/be ruzzian apologists and blame the failings of the communist ecosphere on white western liberals.

  It’s basically the opposite of a sincere environment.
