  I originally found it surprising how often you run into the same names, feels a lot more small town than reddit in that way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Go into debt if you have to⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  For some reason the bank won’t let me take out an 8 figure loan to start my international piracy business. I’ll be starting up a gofundme.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not federated Lemmy instances?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wish they would merge in the pronoun support too, one of the better hexbear features imo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 1 Reddit Refugee⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They can call Obama a piece of shit as far as I’m concerned.

  The issue is the application of a thinly veiled racist caricature though. Call Xi a dictator, piece of shit, whatever, but evidence it and don’t rely on racist tropes and I doubt you will catch a ban for it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 1 Reddit Refugee⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m aware of where the meme came from, personally I think it’s bad taste to be yapping about uguhurs in a thread about the Gaza genocide.

  If people were gleefully calling Obama “Tigger” after that, and constantly doing that instead of having a real argument or something to say I think that would start resulting in bans for racism too.

  the Winnie the Pooh comments are racist though, it’s not hard to have substantive critiques of China without constantly falling back on trying to equate the president with a yellow cartoon animal. We don’t have to get into it, but they almost always hand out temp bans for that. For example yours is already expired.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not federated Lemmy instances?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I believe they forked from Lemmy before federation existed close to 4 years ago, added things like custom emojis and then only re-merged after federation was implemented then turned it on.

  From my experience as an anarchist user who ended up volunteering to moderate in these spaces, most of the censorship happens when people are either being racist or aggro/sealioning. While users definitely tend to be more positive when it comes to China in places like hexbear than in more heavily pro-west spaces they are still critical of its a shortcomings.

  An example here: >80 up voted post with one of the highest comments criticizing the poor standard of care for trans youth in China

  Here’s a thread criticizing Russia for being a cringe misogynist capitalist oligarchy and lamenting that the progress for women’s rights and LGBT rights that happened under communism wasn’t preserved. Again it’s a positive orientation because they are opposed to the west but also one of deep disappointment in their failures on social issues.

  To me at least this type of commentary is a valuable perspective and is also stuff which often gets filtered entirely under the more advertiser-friendly moderation styles.

  At the end of the day I value being able to at least hear dissent, I’m surrounded by the mainstream narrative in my daily life already anyways.

  they have managed to set a trend for filling the night sky with shitty little low orbit satellites chewing up the ozone layer

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨2 in 3 People Often Encounter Hate Speech Online.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah this had been my observation too

  If you’re planning on leaving I won’t miss you passive aggressively using only neutral pronouns for me or calling me insane.

  You can totally have centrist extremists

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy's gaining popularity, so I thought new people should see this.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So accusing left wingers of being right wing is okay as far as you’re concerned if it’s about an election

  Pointing out that from a left wing perspective, Biden and the Democrats are doing bad things and their supporters are right wing: wrong, not descriptive, belongs in a tankie shit hole.

  K

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy's gaining popularity, so I thought new people should see this.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Being full of anticommunists who call anyone left of Biden a tankie makes you right wing in my eyes at least

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy's gaining popularity, so I thought new people should see this.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wouldn’t want anyone going down an extremist pipeline on either side of the political spectrum.

  This isn’t a binary thing, there’s plenty of centrist extremists and echo chambers for them

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy's gaining popularity, so I thought new people should see this.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree with you that this conflict needs a resolution, it’s possible lemmy.ml has done some things wrong, that’s why I support a two state soltion that guarantees lemmy.mls security.

  db0 is many things, but a tankie is not one of them

  I’m more of an anarchist and I’ve not had issues with hexbear or .ml, though I don’t block lemmygrad I’m not subbed to most of their communities mostly because sectarianism bothers me.
