If so, was it polled somewhere?

    I appear to be out of the loop. What’s wrong with hexbear? I’m not familiar with the instance.

      They’re just an annoying bunch of wannabe communists who sound incredibly smug and post a ton of stickers in comments. Having said that I’ve moved to lemm.ee when lemmy.world defeterated from hexbear.

      If you’re familiar with CTH and the dirtbag left, Hexbear is where they went after being banned by Reddit.

      For what it is when lemm.ee considered de-federated from them they flooded the instance turning a 200 comment thread into 1200. And lots of harassment. Edit: In case you wanted to read that clusterbomb of a thread: https://lemm.ee/post/4543536

        I had to look them up but yep I do remember CTH. Thanks for the answer, I’ll keep an eye out.

          What? There’s plenty of nonsense in there, for example:

          [https://lemm.ee/comment/2394714](also, fuck off landlord. Mao was right.)

          From the wiki:

          In this vein, Mao insisted that the people themselves, not the public security organs, should become involved in enacting the Land Reform Law and killing the landlords who had oppressed them, in contrast to the Soviet practice of dekulakization.

          … yikes. That said, it’s online bickering, there’s always going to be examples of bad behaviour.

          As for my own, unasked, opinion on hexbear. I don’t really notice them around. Maybe its because I’m blind to them as I am generally left leaning, I did by contrast notice the EH memes before they were defederated. I’m generally an all/new scroller on Lemmy.

            No, no, they’re right on this one. Killing your landlord is good actually. Like literally everything else Mao did was bad, but he was right on this.

              I’m a little more reserved. I would peg my response to their attitude to change.

              If they’re willing to step aside, or even support shelter becoming a human right, then I’ve got bigger problems than them.

              If they’re going to cling tooth and nail to a system that sees people freeze and starve for their own enrichment then yeah, fuck 'em.

                I mean, they could do that now. They don’t gotta wait until the knives are at their throat–though if that does happen, i expect plenty will say whatever they think will get them off the hook.

                  I mean, the people who believe that landlords should be killed could do that now. They don’t gotta wait either.

              I get the feeling if you learnt more about Mao you’d find a lot of things you’d want to add to your list.

          Anyone who downvoted the above post is free to go back to reddit. You clearly do not understand how the internet works, return to your walled garden.

      I had some conversations here. They were saying that north Korea is a lovely democracy, Russia is totally justified in Ukraine, and China isn’t doing anything to the Uyghurs in Xinjiang. Just some examples from yesterday.

          They’re coming here. They’ve all got their pronouns after their names, (which is actually a great idea) so it’s a little easier to tell them apart. I’ve got a useless thread with a few in [email protected] right now.

            It’s frustrating, because I have pronouns after my name and I dislike hexbear… a lot. It is a good idea to have users give pronouns and automatically attach it.

            Their behaviour has made me constantly check if people with pronouns after their names are part of hexbear before engaging in any threads, because of the stress of dealing with them :/, sometimes I do engage anyway and immediately regret it /shrug

            It is depressing, because normally using pronouns like this indicates trans supportiveness so I feel better about conversing with people with them on their names. Hexbear has ruined this because of their behaviour around all other topics and sometimes trans topics.

            Just hope Jerboa gets instance-blocking features soon ;p, then I can block them on both my lemmy accounts .
