lmao talk about full of shit vague-posting nonsense; "hexbear treats war like a football game" says the motherfuckers who've shouted "TO THE LAST UKRAINIAN" every day for the last three years straight, to say nothing of their support for the Palestinian genocide, as if I'd take moral lessons on war from these racist cockroaches
Also I love how the inciting thread is about Hexbears being nice to and complimenting a child for proficiently articulating their emotions and political journey, but I guess personal development would seem like horror to these reddit rejects
personell development is very important to any aspirating organization, that kid is gonna be a leader one day yessir
lmao talk about full of shit vague-posting nonsense; "hexbear treats war like a football game" says the motherfuckers who've shouted "TO THE LAST UKRAINIAN" every day for the last three years straight,
Don't those assholes have a non-credible defense clone somewhere on sh.itsfulla.nazis, or am I thinking of another fed full of actual bloodmouths
so they complain about (presumably) /r/news posters treating war 'like a football game'
yet they're perfectly comfortable posting on .world as 'one of the good ones' after a year of
behavior from pretty much every lib on thereYeah this is an incredible self-report
Seems like bernie liberal to "i just wanna grill" pipeline
Skill issue.
This site has been wholesome as fuck for me.
This response is fucking classic:
I’m an anarchist, tankies don’t like me because I like my freedom of speech and right to bear arms, not a kid tho
As the one true anarchist, I think right-freaks should be allowed to march because I need to get out some aggression and work on my upper body strength.
Damn, this minor philosophical conundrum has convinced me that "liberation" is whatever serves NATO interests and that Radio Free Asia is an uncompromising titan of journalistic integrity.
tankies don’t like me because I like my freedom of speech and right to bear arms
Freeze peach, surest sign of a cracker. Who told him we don't like guns, though? Shit, I still clear Marksman to this day every time I hit the range; and that's needing glasses at this point in the game.
destructive drama outbursts every single week
Well he’s got us there lmao
We've only had ONE real bad struggle session and it's the vegan one, which lasted like half a week three years ago
And frankly compared to shit like the 2017 multi-thread struggle session about how "Native Americans are racist ethno-nationalists" which dominated r/chapotraphouse for half a summer, people on this site are living in forum paradise
And frankly compared to shit like the 2017 multi-thread struggle session about how "Native Americans are racist ethno-nationalists"
Man, thank god i missed or forgot about that thread in the sub
To this day the funniest struggle session is the time a power poster from r/blackfellas launched a one-man offensive against the whole of r/chapotraphouse
Man spent the whole thread cussing out the whole sub with half of us joining him and the other half getting in their white feelings, the joy I felt that day, we straight up cuffed half the sub and let that man execute them one by one
Ehhhhhh doubtful. I was around for r/genzedong but I think cth was gone by the time I was indulging misplaced redditor brainworms. Shit, 'blackfellas' sounds like a op on a place like Reddit; I didn't fuck with a single poc sub because I couldn't shake that sense that it was all digital blackface all the way down.
Like, when I talk to Angel or other homies from em_poc I actually believe that's kinfolk. I never once got that feeling on reddit, anywhere; so I wouldn't go to at for any of 'em like that lmao
Interestingly the digital blackface problem was precisely the reason r/blackfellas went mod invitation only six years ago, and the "lurking" problem was a constant source of annoyance for people on the sub, having to deal with the constant stream of "As a white person I understand your struggle" posts
I remember that was actually one of the reasons that power user launched his blitz against the chapo sub, before the 2017 purge of the stupidpol racists, the chapo sub had a toxic reputation with many poc people on the site (especially black users), but the semi-miracle of early 2018 chapo brought many poc people back to the sub, which was why that power user was a little surprised when half the sub and most of the mods backed up his claims and takes
you would fight half of hexbear at once if you thought it necessary just like the guy cyborg was talking about.
Oh absolutely; but if I'm fighting you, it's probably because I still think there's something worth saving in there. It's when I become indifferent that you're fucked lmao.
BPT when they first did that country club thing seemed like it had a relatively decent chance of actually being made up of mostly black people
Not wrong! Also not wrong about the astroturf; reason I never felt cool around BPT was because I didn't know what to call it yet, but it felt wrong that so much skinfolk could be counted on to go to bat for people who even BEFORE the DNC's mask-off "go fuck yourself" energy, were obviously just taking our support for granted because who else are we gonna vote for, the party of the Klan? The me that exists these days knows them for the misleaders they've always been.
(Honestly in hindsight, a lot of my bias against BPT might've been because I recognized the same manner of talking there that skinfolk on DemocraticUnderground tended to dabble in; and a lot of what started me down the path of ML was just rank, flagrant disgust for the misleadership I was perceiving on a subcon level even at that point in my life regarding the contradiction of being a Black democrat post-2000.)
This is the heart of critical support. I'm not gonna sit here and front like watching stupidpol posters mald about them wasn't funny as fuck lmao. "Oh wah, they support segregation", "separatist" this and that aimed at the most milquetoast of misled liberals; my settler in white jesus 99.999% of your subs are white-dominated
That was too one-sided to really be called a struggle session, it was more like a dozen people just blatantly outing themselves as transphobes without any pretext, and after a month damn near 95% of the site agreed removing downvotes improved site functionality and reduced toxicity
I did enjoy the one guy who was caught up in it because they downvoted every single post, they got unbanned after explaining this, then proceeded to downvote everything again and get banned again lmao
I spent so long in the posting mines during the multiple neopronoun struggle sessions. You'd never guess which paleopronouns were most vocal in those threads. 😄
Really it's a broader joke-y term for the standard set of English pronouns, but I am particularly referencing the high proportion of he/him-tagged transphobes that were purged in the great conflagration. Now I mostly just pick at that scab to see if there are lurking #NotAllMen posters who have simply failed to show the entirety of their asses, yet.
I think there were (and to some degree still are) just a lot of performatively radical posters who could not actually bring themselves to introspect and deprogram reactionary parts of themselves. The majority of the early user base was Redditors, and the majority of Redditors are the big pink slice in the trans survey, and operating exclusively from the dominant end of cultural hegemony takes real fucking work to unwind.
Anecdotally, many cases where this introspection cracked a bunch of eggs. ⚧️
I think there are ways in which it is better now, but I definitely miss the anarchic flavor of the very early chapo.chat/hexbear community. A lot of that was probably COVID madness and isolation hornt, to be fair. Still more trans/misogyny and racist brainworms than I think most Hexbears would be keen to admit, but the purges really did set a tone that at least sets the floor of discourse a fair bit higher than most in the common social media diet.
Oh, I actually may be a Lemmy boomer and read the thread on whichever hell instance clicking through a link here and the app I use did not make that sufficiently obvious. I'll have to go find it again.
Yea tbh I actually think it’s somewhat overblown, people get into dumb slap fights about shit on the Internet, hb isn’t really unique in that regard. I’d rather that than it be a forum of a bunch of liberals agreeing with each other about how the poors need to die.
….but tbf I miss like 80% of them these days
Producerism on my hexbear?? More likely than you might think
I want the hard-hats to surrender their hands at the wrists to the nearest artists they know just for going to bat for the theftboxes tbh
again, the only scenario where being australian is an advantage - you miss all the drama
They were more frequent pre-federation. The most recent kerfuffle I can think of that escalated to a full blown struggle sesh was a post in the dunk tank about a man getting offended that his girlfriend wouldn't have slept with him if she didn't know him but is happy he's hubby material, or something like that. That was a few months ago.
Was it alt-right or communism for you?
I started as alt-right, realised I actually like queerness. Then I went communist, realised murder is childish and how much I was being played and then decided to do my own thing.
So they started with embracing hate, then embraced communist aesthetics (presumably to be edgy while not understanding the communist analysis), and then finally, they decided that the status quo where murder happens conveniently mostly out of sight of the imperial cores and everything stays the same is best, because all those people resisting the empire are upset for (some reason)?
There's also the title of the thread calling the hexbear "racist", which I can't find even the distorted lib version of from reading the post.
I'm from bum fuck no where and I'm proud. The only reason that would be racist is if you internalize the general classism libs will have towards you and then make it part of a white grievance identity. Ie: make shit up
Your average NATO-leftist, folks. It’s like poetry. It rhymes.
Theres the first red flag. This person is basically just an NPC with no real leanings that latches onto whatever appeals to them on an aesthetic levell off the internet.
basically just an NPC
Honestly I hate this framing, it's used a lot by the fascists to dehumanize people for not thinking exactly like them.
The user is just a fucking lib, and always has been.
There's a very very fine line, maybe invisibly tiny, between "radicalizing people" and "sharing what you have slowly figured out without a guide by watching politics interact with the economy from 2006 on".
As the OP demonstrates, our comrades on .world do a ton of advertising for us by complaining about us nonstop.
I'm pretty sure @sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml and @Erika3sis@hexbear.net were radicalized by hexbear after it federated with the wider lemmyverse.
Whether I was radicalized by Hexbear depends on where you draw the line of when someone has too many brainworms to be counted as properly radicalized, and on the extent to which the exorcism of those brainworms is attributable to Hexbear versus any number of other things.
Edit: rephrased, "too many or too few brainworms" makes it sound like you need to have a golden mean of brainworms to be a radical
That nerd should post what their hexbear account name was or else I'm just going to assume this is made-up self
fanfic typed up by someone with a persecution complexMaybe. But we also have plenty of nostalgia posts here about "remember that struggle session?" Literally one just yesterday about the BRICS girls struggle. Again. There's even that hexbear lore iceberg meme image that floats around sometimes. All it takes is skimming a single nostalgia thread to get that level of hexbear specific knowledge.
Their "the newsmega was the worst" part is what makes me think they probably were here for just a little while, though. Probably someone who couldn't let go of their imperialist brainworms and were flabbergasted at how we weren't all backing the poor smol bean wholesome Ukrainians and got their ass handed to them by people who actually have some understanding of geopolitics and history. The "treating it like football" is bizarre because the situation was the exact opposite, with the newsmega regulars often pointing out that that is exactly how the blue-and-yellow flag emoji people treat it, and ridiculing that kind of simplistic non-analysis. It's the typical accusation that's actually a confession.
My guess is that it was some lib who fancied themselves a leftie, who hung out here once or twice before the Ukraine conflict kicked off (when the newsmega was created, basically), said something cringe about it after it did and got schooled as a result. Rather than learn, they ragequit, unable to fathom how people who clearly knew much more than they did didn't support the typical US State Dept. narratives, which they still hold dear to their heart. Now they have constructed some bullshit scenario about it for the .world hexbear-hatred thread that also made them feel better about themselves.

I just think they got bullied off the site by ZPoster lmao. It was probably what happened. They peddled some Putler is out of missiles bullshit which set off ZPoster.
well the burden on proof is on them. I think they're just so obsessed with hexbear hate that they deep-dived into the archives to build their "I was there!" persona.
there was a struggle session about the modlog not showing the moderators names anymore, but yeah I'll also assume that they were a hexbear and just incredibly oblivious
What you see in Hexbear now is Hexbear after the TransComrade69 reforms. Before them, it used to be a lot more rancid and had even worse issues with harassment, transphobia, misogyny, etc from certain users and it was often directed at mods. The change to anonymize mods pissed off the exact kind of user you can imagine.
Doesn't really work, though, if a mod is demoted that would add a lot of extra work. Not to mention that there's a complicated mess of people who moderate several comms, so accounts would have to be per-comm and suddenly you're managing a lot of credentials for many accounts when you could've just had one per person.
- I love my trans comrades
- RIP bozo, enjoy your reindoctrination into capitalist realism via your brainwormed therapist, and do all young people a favor by never speaking in their presence again
to all the terrible posters
we coming lemmies
nothing personell, kid 
I did that!
