Comment on Spreading of the 100 biggest Lemmy communities

Can you truly say you’ve had the HB experience if you haven’t recieved emoji/sticker/gif spam from people who weren’t alive for 9/11, have never been outside their country, and refuse to listen to opposing views, but know with full certainty that all western countries are 100% full of genociders and colonial rapists who all deserve the glorious death the super benign, extremely peaceful and misunderstood countries of North Korea, China, and Russia who have never once been correctly accused of human rights violations…
And of course, if they point out that your country has dipped into those things in the past, well your entire worldview is shattered and their whataboutism has solved everything and proves you deserve the death they crave for you.

On the flipside there is the .World experience. Where Julian Assagne is a war criminal. And the destruction of Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan was good because it killed a lot of Muslims and liberated those savage hijab wearing women from being alive.

Would you have link to such statements? Seems wild

Wtf are you talking about? Oh, a .ml user. Ok then.

Julian Assange is a bootlicker and Kremlin stooge who sold us out to the American and Russian billionaires. The Mueller Report proved he was explicitly trying to get Treason Trump elected and working with Putin to push disinformation to that end.

I am genuinely sad for HB. There are lgbt ppl there, generally dear to me and seeing them enjoy such cesspit lured in by cultish atmosphere, supporting the very forces that can only destroy but not build anything. It is personal.
Diva@lemmy.ml 5 weeks ago
There’s actually a lot of lgbt people there, based on their last poll:
Fidel_Cashflow@lemmy.ml 5 weeks ago
you should come post in our extremely active weekly trans megathreads, you’ll see that a lot of your preconceived notions are simply not true.
joyhunter@lemmy.zip 5 weeks ago
I can see why folk don’t like hexbear as they come off as leftist 4chan, but you don’t need to make things up. They often talk about traveling. I agree with a lot of their content and disagree with some, I’ve been to 10 countries. In the plane to France, an African told me how their country is still enslaved to France. Personally I don’t see the value in the immediate destruction of the west, but with their leaderships ardent support for Nazi Germany, Apartheid, the Climate Crisis and assassination of climate activists, others, and now Zionism, they should lose influence through any means necessary.

come off as leftist 4chan
has the largest weekly trans megathread in the entire fediverse, aggressively bans racism, bigotry and transphobia on sight
make it make sense
OprahsedCreature@lemmy.ml 5 weeks ago
Hey, aren’t you the one who dropped a diaper load because Hexbear removed your comments justifying supporting candidates who were pro genocide?
conditional_soup@lemm.ee 5 weeks ago
Yep, that’s me. You could probably find a few more good examples of me stepping in shit on Hexbear, that’s hardly the first.
Schmoo@slrpnk.net 5 weeks ago
I disagree with those comments, but they seem pretty mild to have been banned. I just don’t see how it’s productive to ban all liberals the moment they try to explain their views. All that does is push people away who could potentially have been a future ally.

Join an instance that’s defederated from them. I haven’t seen their nonsense in months.
muix@lemmy.sdf.org 5 weeks ago
You can block instances yourself, I personally don’t like when an instance makes that decision for me.
SorteKanin@feddit.dk 5 weeks ago
Blocking an instance is just equivalent to blocking all the communities on that instance. You’ll still see the blocked instance’s posts and comments in other instances and (maybe more importantly) the instance will still influence your feed via voting. So if hexbear collectively upvotes or downvotes some post, that will influence your feed. Defederation is the only way to prevent that kind of influence.
SteveFromMySpace@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 weeks ago
Then block hexbear? Same result.
OprahsedCreature@lemmy.ml 5 weeks ago
I mean, I don’t know enough about North Korea here but Lenin decriminalized homosexuality in like 1920. Stalin recriminalized it in 1932-33 but for a bit there the Soviet Union was the most LGBT friendly country in the world.

Lemme rest, my palm is all sore
jumjummy@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
What is the point of this, uh, argument? Since then it’s illegal to be LGBT in Russia, so you’re admitting that Russia sucks now? Agreed!
OprahsedCreature@lemmy.ml 5 weeks ago
Russia began to suck hardest when the US succeeded in turning it into a supercharged version of itself. Every bad bit about Russia you don’t like? It’s where the US is headed, thanks to its own imperialism. “Rainbow Capitalism” is as unsustainable as Rainbow Slavery or Rainbow Fascism.

Lmao, .ml really is on a roll with the whole “we love LGBT rights but hate every country which actually has LGBT rights” cognitive dissonance lately.
Sootius@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
I cannot facepalm hard enough when I see lgbt people (or anyone) who praise western genocidal military alliances either. What’s your point?
Socsa@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks ago
Western alliances which are the only places in the world with a robust LGBT framework?
“Nooooo you can’t just give people rights because it makes you look good!”
Sootius@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
I didn’t realise committing genocide made people look good, I guess.
cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 5 weeks ago
That’s why I’m glad my instance blocked them.
NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Yeah I can’t say I was bothered when LW defederated. I’ve gotten in way fewer stupid arguments since they did the same with Lemmygrad. IIRC LW didn’t even let hexbear federate in the first place.
Emmie@lemm.ee 5 weeks ago
I don’t like to make myself blind to the things so to say. I prefer to see everything, every post and comment.
knatschus@discuss.tchncs.de 5 weeks ago
Sounds like you waste alot of time with people who don’t deserve it
Emmie@lemm.ee 5 weeks ago
This maybe a side effect of turning off the points experiment. Instead of getting dopamine from points I get inbox points. So it could be that I subconsciously make my comments in a way that is more likely to attract some kind of response.
li10@feddit.uk 5 weeks ago
I would much rather signup to an instance that handles that for me.
As long as the instance is clear about what they defederate from and their reasons, then I’m happy with that. And if I wasn’t, I could choose a different instance.
blackn1ght@feddit.uk 5 weeks ago
Our instance is federated with hexbear, lemmygrad etc. I want to be resonsible for what I see and block, I’m really not a fan of defederation unless it’s a last resort (i.e. CSAM or other illegal content).
I did end up blocking the lemmy.ml instance though, fuck that place. I haven’t even blocked hexbear or lemmygrad.
WalrusDragonOnABike@lemmy.today 5 weeks ago
Isn’t your instance federated with hexbear? Seems like it hardly blocks any lemmy instances.
Blackmist@feddit.uk 5 weeks ago
I think ideally a Lemmy client could connect to a number of instances, and you could add the more contentious ones yourself.
Some of these places are literally hosting child porn. You don’t want that mirrored to a server that you’re responsible for.
TomSelleck@lemm.ee 5 weeks ago
Same here. I’ll curate my personal feed but I’ll occasionally scroll everything just to see what random new instance I’ll find, and to keep myself aware of what the current rhetoric is with the various groups.
