I feel like I fit around the anarchist end of the spectrum, but ....and hear me out, it's been an eye opener (sorta) seeing the folk on .ml fighting super hard to get everyone to agree that Trump really is the best thing to happen to America since...well... Trump. Tbh, not seen many folk from hexbear lately, pretty sure .ca defedded from them.
Even before them Trumpeting this last little while, I really couldn't understand how they figured they'd be winning people over to their views with how they behave. Seems counterintuitive to insult people and hope they'll maybe change their mind the umpteenth time you swear at them and make what honestly seems like often random quotes that only loosely fit the conversation.
I get that and fuck them, but it's pretty odd for a mod to be banning people for their instance (even if its guaranteed for them to be a tankie) but it'll be used as ammo against us, most of the time I see people talking about blocking hexbear there's some dipshit that has to say "god forbid your shitlib views get challenged with morality" Like no. You're an asshole that's why nobody likes you, not because you're a communist (many of us are too).
And I asked for the members opinions and it was decided to let them be
I always work with a policy of let folk show their stripes, regardless of where they say they land on whatever spectrum. But after soooooo many bad faith arguments, strawmen and whataboutisms, I'm honestly not too surprised.
And if it's a majority of members saying that that's the rule they want, I'm not sure anyone really has a right to say otherwise. It's not discrimination against anything other than a majority of shit disturbers coming from there.
Yeah, i have absolutely no expectations from hexbear users. In fact, i know they are POS tankies, all of them, but i don't feed their persecution fetish. As long as they behave, they'll be strictly tolerated.
I mean yeah, ultimately it's our community not mine, so there's no room for argument there. I do wish dbzer0 was defederated from them though, it would spare me the headache of having to keep an eye on them.
Yeaaaaaah, yer alright ๐ looking forward to the new old community!
Thanks for taking the time, appreciate it.
