I moved here because they took away Apollo and I really liked Apollo. It wasn’t a political decision
Comment on Is there a way to block hexbear

I love the idea of ditching Reddit, a site owned by a for-profit corporation and run by unaccountable admins, for a decentralized alternative where people have more choice and power over their own content…
…but why do people have to make it so political?

They prevented a service through which the users would use it, and the users had no say in it, and ended up having less functionality? Maybe it’s a problem when users can’t have self-determination. I’m glad there’s something that could be done about that.
It’s just a question of how we relate to and use online resources, and who has the power over online communities. That’s not political at all… or is it?

Everything is political. Nobody wants to talk to you about socialism.

“Reddit turned to shit because of capitalism” was a widely-spread opinion here already before hexbear federated

You should ask your fellow hexbear comrades why they turn everything to politics and Chinese/Russian propaganda 🤷 Heck the main community on your side of the verse is basically Shit Reddit Says with a political twist!

“alt left” you are a clown. Remove the worms from your brain
Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
I mean, stop acting like the left side version of the alt-right and I’ll stop calling you that… Even just the second part of your reply there, that’s exactly the kind of shit that the MAGA/anti-Vax crowd says to fight people they disagree with, word for word!

Calling things you don’t like Chinese/Russian propaganda is exactly what neoliberals say, word for word, and has the benefit of actually having a substantial political connection instead of just being a popular metaphor.
