Looks like my account was banned/restricted for the above interaction, have already sent the mods on world an email asking if they'd be willing to reverse that. Had an episode of psychosis a few months ago where I did say some offensive stuff, (understandably) got a 3 month ban on .lol for that, so could see my account having been flagged.

I uh, I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect people to check others profiles to ensure we are correctly pronouning them… when making a throw away comment that is less than 10 words involving a ludicrously common saying. Jerboa does not show users pronouns. I could switch to an app that DOES show the pronouns, do any Lemmings have a recommendation for a free Lemmy mobile app that has that feature?

Edit: Edie chimed in, Jerboa does show pronouns. It's a formatting issue with mobile vs browser (She has them on individual text lines so they don't appear on mobile).

Was just going to respond to the user in question to let them know I wasn't purposefully trying to offend that individual, to discover I'm not able to post or make comments on world now, so figured I'd see what y'alls opinion on the matter is.

does more to chase people away than what I said

If it means you leave and take your horrible take with you, I'm all for it.

Now I see why a lot of people block hexbear.

[–] Zoot@reddthat.com -3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Right right, which is why a good majority of instances have entirely defederated from hexbear.

Is it me who's in the terrible instance that most people hate? No, no, it must be that they are all the hated people!

[–] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 39 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Weird, all those instances are perfectly content to allow fascists on their instances. I wonder if these two things are related? No, no, better just keep posting like a redditor and never bother with introspection.

[–] Zoot@reddthat.com -2 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Yeah no, hexbear is simply an awful place to go which gets closer and closer to a echo chamber every day. But do keep on telling people to have some introspection without any yourself.

This is going to be embarrassing for you but don't be afraid - have a deep think about the world you live in. Realize us here at Hexbear also live in that world. Do you get any actual communist or anarchist news or media in the real world we all live in? Or does the majority of the media, the politics, and the people of the world we all live in reproduce the liberal worldview you yourself have?

In closing, now that you have realized that your entire world is an echo chamber reproducing the liberal capitalist worldview, I hope you can amend your statement about Hexbear, a place that exists in defiance of that status quo, is in fact the opposite of an echo chamber.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 22 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That user has been propagandized for a lifetime, being told by the propaganda being consumed that the consumer is a free thinker rebel and that doing nothing or supporting the status quo maintains that free thinking rebel status.

It's a hard spell to break.

[–] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 23 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's true, but we all managed it. I just really get irked at the ridiculous claims of sheltered liberals that their first brushes up against worldviews that are new to them elicit shrieks of "ECHO CHAMBER!! ECHO CHAMBER!!".

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

We may unfortunately, for the moment, be the exception.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 27 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yeah no

Are you claiming fascists aren't allowed in your Reddit-outside-of-Reddit community?

which gets closer and closer to a echo chamber every day

Says the status quo warrior whining about Hexbear's existence to pretty much the exclusion of anything else.

But do keep on telling people to have some introspection without any yourself.

SELF AWARENESS 100

Being a selfish liberal with bad takes that can't handle pushback from the left is common, yes.

Is it me who's in the terrible instance

knight-nod

Lots of terrible things are very popular. Are you going to tell me that McDonald's is the pinnacle of fine dining, too?

[–] Zoot@reddthat.com -1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

Yeah, it could only be selfish liberals right? Get over yourself.

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 27 points 1 month ago

Lmao scratch a selfish lib...

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 27 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yeah, it could only be selfish liberals right?

In this case, yes, it is selfish liberals, including yourself.

Get over yourself.

Stay mad, you brave status quo defender. bridget-pride-stay-mad
