I have never see anything worth the hate.

You just have a very high tolerance for jackassery. You’ve seen plenty of evidence of hexbear hostility, i.e. the “dunk tank” that would justify not wanting to interact with hexbear users and have actively chosen to disregard it.

This is because you’re kind of a jackass. Disregarding people engaging in good faith with “just trust me bro” is exactly the kind of thing people really hate hexbear users for. Not because of illegal activity or moral failing, but because they’re assholes. While you may think this isn’t worth de-federation, unfortunately moderators aren’t some kind of legal authority, and if federating with hexbear means instance admins or community moderators need to put in triple the work to prune all the arguments and “”“shitposting”“” hexbear users love, nobody is legally or morally required to put up with it.

It’s legitimately that simple. Hexbear users are jerks and nobody wants to hang out with them, and that’s enough to ban them from any given community or instance.

People who think being a jackass is a form of activism. That’s all you really need to know.

They’re annoying, like over-caffeinated teenagers, and they like to use what I presume are something like Twitch emotes that don’t work outside of hexbear, which looks really stupid.

I don’t think they’re evil or anything, but they’re just so universally awful to deal with that I can fully support immediate no-questions-asked defederation. They’re the fediverse equivalent of a decent enough guy who just fucking reeks because they refuse to ever shower or wear deodorant.

A link to some dude’s blog? Here’s the article.

Bungiefan_ak appears to have literally two hobbies, and they’re being anti-piracy and actively a fascist.

Funny how that works out.

Indeterminate game played with six-sided dice and a tall wooden cup. More towards freeform gambling than anything concrete.

Tildes is a hideously ugly walled-garden circlejerk from the little I’ve seen of it, Squabblr.co seems neat but is very low-population (and without the fedi crossover I’m not sure if it’ll survive), and I’ve never even heard of Raddle before this.

Arguably, yes, but I don’t consider billionaires human, and even if they were I’d consider the environmental damage they do a hostile act against the nations they occur in, meaning it would less be murder and moreso a retaliatory strike.

Hope that helps.

No, just the people who own them.

Buddy, you are supporting fascism. Your assesment of the lesser-of-two-evils here is based in neither compassion nor reason, but idiotic spite. You will actively side with a fascist regime against a liberal one not because you truly want a better world, but because you’re a contrarian idiot. You are the greatest weapon fascism has on attacking the left, because you will blindly support everything it does.

I cannot stress this enough: You are both deeply evil and need to be outright killed so that the increasing influence of fascism can be stemmed and revolutionary consciousness can be developed.

On one hand, imperialistic hyperliberalism. On the other hand, imperialistic fascism.

A fascist and a “critically supportive communist” at a table is two fascists at a table. You get the bullet.

This is a problem that is, unironically, best solved with bullets. How many oil & gas companies have standing militaries?

I’m not sure where “global communism” and “fascist state headed by Vladimir Putin” intersect, but it sure ain’t anywhere sane. Defederation from the Lemmygrad school of insanity seems like a grand old time.

You’re an idiot. Also a techy linux weirdo, so I’m not surprised. Did you know other people have hobbies that do not involve Linux, and would like to be able to discuss them without someone like you bending themselves into a pretzel over how the Fediverse has no room for filthy casuals who don’t know what FOSS stands for. Gatekeep harder! This will surely save the fediverse from normies.

40-something sysadmins love both bicycles and video games, so I’m really not surprised. All of those “read-only” bits aren’t here and they aren’t moving, and nobody’s making them because the moderation tools are awful. Kbin doesn’t even have an API.

When I want to watch a play or musical, I generally look for expert reviews.

I generally look for the opinions of like, actual human beings with no skin in the game. Reviewers gotta say what they need to say to pay their bills. Reddit was great for stuff like that, or the semi-official subreddits of specific obscure headphone companies, vinyl record swapping, local-town-community type subreddits… Stuff this place seems like it will literally never have. It’s a shame.

No shit you think it’s fine, you’re a techy linux weirdo. Good luck discussing like, musicals or tabletop roleplaying games or homemade moonshine or anything in that general vicinity of “niche” on here.

It’s small enough to literally have zero posts of a variety of topics, and that number isn’t improving. Get outside of your own circle every once in a while.

I went and looked at tildes as a result of this, and it seems aggressively dead. Like, the fediverse is pretty dead and tildes makes it look positively thriving in comparison. Yeesh.

Babe wake up, new scam for idiots just dropped

OP doesn’t know what an API is. They’ve shown they have effectively no idea what they’re talking about.
