Troll community with overactive idiot moderation. You literally gamble with being banned by doing anything but bandwagon posting with a mod in hexbear. They don’t read, they don’t know much, they provoke people on purpose, and they certainly don’t do any research on truth or validity before just outright issuing bans. Block hexbear for your own sanity.
Hear me out, there are trans people who are indeed extremists (I should know, I’ve been victim to many of them). However that doesn’t mean all trans people are. Trans people are just people, and like all people there are good ones, evil ones, and ones who make mistakes.
Hexbear are extremists though, there might be some decently alright people on there but for the most pat the active ones there are very extreme and tend to spam, lash out, throw insults, and it’s very likely they were the ones who DDoSed Lemmy.world in the days of frequent outages shortly after Lemmy.world denied them. OP you made the right call, it is a very bad idea to recommend people go to hexbear.
Can we not devolve into shit talking other communities and childish in-fighting? Drama like this is exactly what made Reddit awful, and I hate seeing stuff like this here.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not condoning toxic communities (as many on here claim hexbear is). If your community actively ascribes to promoting hate, for instance, it should be removed/locked/etc. I am, however, making the distinction that we don’t need to witch-hunt other communities because we don’t agree with their policies or how they are run.
Downvote, unsubscribe, block, and move on.
Drag disagrees. Zero mod and admin accountability was what made Reddit awful. Getting your account banned for being slightly left wing and having a robot deny your appeals sucked. Communities like r/fatpeoplehate and r/the_donald and r/politicalcompassmemes that took years for admins to address were the worst parts of reddit.
Hexbear does actively promote hate towards any non-socialist political ideologies, and towards any trans- and homophobic people. They’re not entirely wrong, it’s the means they choose that i hate. They’re not reducing the amount of hate, only increasing it. Also, seeing such level of hostility they have is depressing.
:/ How very ungenerous of them (not surprised)
Maybe on the surface, but it’s blocked by this instance (and many others) for good reasons.
It’s a snake pit.
