Ay man if your client lets you block entire instances maybe consider blocking this one
Its a 6 sided bear, the peak of the polygonal phylogeny.
Monomouse
Duodugong
Traye-aye
Quadferret
Pentacoyote
Hexbear
Heptaherpeton - this is the furthest we've discovered in the polygonal phylogeny but research indicates the likely existence of an octorca as well
Edge lords who couldn't handle someone telling them they were wrong, so they had big sook and defedederated after a day.
Ever wanted to be talked down to by a 14 year old alt-right sociopath who pretends to support lgbt so they can stealthily insult liberals and blame western whites for how China is?
Edit; downvote more, at the end of the day you're still a hexbear 🤢
holy fuck I laughed out loud at this outside by myself at ten to 1am .. I didnt know what hexbear was, soooo, I reported a post for saying that anyone who ever supports a democratic candidate in america needs to be hit by a truck, and that violence needs to befall them, so the mod I reported it to posted my username and announced I had reported it in a comment to that post. people then piled on saying how I was a hypocrite and deserved violence brought against me, because violence has been done by cops agains homeless and trans people. also, that all I care about is getting brunch
Like mainland 9gag with a veil of solidarity.
For the majority who don't know, 9gag is a Hong Kong based meme recycling organization run by people who are equally intolerant of lactose and melanin.
These accusations specifically are always so wild from you libs. Blue anon through and through.
Donald Trump is a communist.
snarky know-it-alls that believe that they possess the most advanced political analysis derived almost exclusively from parroting reddit comments which have slowly turned their brains into velveeta
but anyway, enough about Lemmitors.
Hexbears are actually a nice bunch if you read through the comments on the current megathread. They just have very little tolerance for self-satisfied libs that congratulate themselves for thumping the Washington consensus-approved ideologies that most of hexbear graduated from years ago. Even I find it difficult to read lemmy comments because they're legitimately what I would've written as a teenage redditor in the late 2000s.
They're just fascists LARPing as socialists. They're not taking down the man. They're supporting the man, just that the man they're supporting is oppressing people in another country. They're either working for an oppressive government or they're privileged white kids that think their internet image matters more than the hardships of people in the oppressive countries the support.
Weirdly intense and antagonistic internet communists.
Like, picture that guy you avoided conversations with when you were 19.
Because, Id wager, their userbase is primarily edgy leftist teenagers, really kind of like if 4chan was left and not right.
They're so far to the left I don't even consider them left anymore. They've fully wrapped around to be indistinguishable from the right (but not racist so much as intensely totalitarian).
Horseshoe theory
A social network that was formed as a fork of lemmy, before lemmy had really entered the fediverse (tho they were planning to). Both Lemmy and Hexbear had communists among their founders, but the Hexbear devs found it more... Central to their objectives. When Lemmy federated, Hexbear didn't. It planned to initially, but ended up being pretty satisfied of being a small, yet centralized social network, basically a communist Reddit. But the idea of joining the Fediverse appeared tempting once again with the boom that happened on Mastodon when the muskrat ate the bird, and to a greater extent when Reddit changed their API policy and lost a lot of the user's trust, causing many redditors to move to Lemmy.
Hexbear devs then worked to essentially make it a Lemmy instance, but there were always disagreements about who to federate with. They first federated with Lemmygrad and Lemmy .ml. Lemmy .world quickly blocked them. They temporarily federated with sh .itjust .works, but this wasn't well received on either side, so this was soon undone.
Ideology wise, pretty much everyone on Hexbear is some kind of communist. However, altho the "tankie", pro-russia type is often seen, it's not that homogeneous (there are even anarchist channels over there), arguably less than lemmygrad.
Everything you said was accurate except the pro Russia = tankie stuff. I just want to be able to say that the kulaks deserved and such without being tied to capitalist trash like Putin...
Yeah, I didn't mean to say that all tankies are pro current Russia, but just that there is a specific type of tankies that is, and these are often the annoying ones.
A lemmy instance full of trolls and people celebrating chinese and russian fascism in the name of socialism
