A side note, but I hate how reactionary is bad. You’re supposed to react to new situations and information.
I think the context here is along the lines of Newton’s “for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.” Meaning reactionaries are people who oppose new things and want stuff to go back to “the way things were” before that new thing came along. Probably the opposite of what you mean by “reacting to new situations and information.”
Reactionary means always being against what your opponents support.
Like conservatives opposing anything liberals support for example. Not because they think the policy is bad per se, but because they believe they must oppose liberals no matter what.
Lot of $20 words in there mixing with chud.
Am I reading this right that Hexbear is defederating with sh.itjust.works?
I’m pleased to hear the good news.
Looks like they’re still federated with us. Is the instance list automatically updated?
They plan on defederating later
removed by mod
No you will not
I’ll believe it when it happens. Why would anyone believe what they say?
I don’t think they’re federated with blahaj.zone and pawb.social but they are still on the list. That said, I’m pretty sure the pawb.social defederation was on our end and not on hexbear’s, so that might be why it’s still there. I was almost sure hexbear and blahaj.zone both defederated from each other though.
Yay! I was worried they would begin to discover smaller communities and spread outside of just their communities.
They lasted only a couple of days. We outlasted them. o7
So calling out tankies for their dictatorship support and defense of genocides made us the Nazis?
Sure, Jan.
Can we still follow through with defederating them? This is definitely a ploy so they can start back up whenever they want.
The admins don’t have plans on defederating.
Unfortunately
Seems really fishy to me. TheDude defederated from Lemmygrad with zero community input, based on his own personal convictions. Now the admin team agrees to let in a rabid userbase of tankies, imaqtpie calls them a “valuable asset” in response to calls for defederation, and they actively get in the way of our attempts to organize a discussion/vote to defederate. Things feel different and not in a good way.
Yah, saw that they locked down your vote on that, then made some sort of “why can’t we all just get along” comment to rub it in.
And said something about the admin over there trying to work along with them on reducing the dunking. Yet that same admin is in another thread on hexbear assuring people that they are certainly not trying to reduce dunking in other servers, and saying basically “go for it”.
Pretty silly. Glad my server has defed from the shitbirds.
For anyone curious about what that admin said.
I just looked through their profile and couldn’t find that comment. Did they delete it or something?
Most likely. Can’t leave evidence of enabling shitty behaviour. This is a screencap from a thread where that admin was telling them to stop flooding meta posts on other instances that were considering defederating from them. I think it was Blahaj or Beehaw. One of those.
THanks, I had no idea how to find that again.
Yeah, not really the best way
Everyone that disagrees with them is a Nazi yet they actively deny the ongoing genocide of Uyghers.
Everyone who disagrees with them is a transphobe yet they had several posts agreeing with China’s ban on Trans people, sterilization and murder.
Yeah I don’t get that? Why are they constantly complaining about transphobia all the time? Yet I never see any.
Because it’s simply a cudgel to use against other sections of the left "Oh you haven’t completely purged any and all bigotry from your movement? Guess we’re gonna have to act smug and call you a piece of shit. "
And then “No no no, please don’t look at Marxist Leninists track record on LGBT rights” or “No way, there’s no genocide in Xinjiang”
tbf I do definitely see transphobia pop up around the Fediverse, it’s just generally downvoted.
nothing makes sense or is consistent in their beliefs, it’s a miracle they don’t go into a spasm feom cognitive dissonance
It’s like labeling CCP critics “racist”
Oh well I guess I’m being racist to myself for criticizing a regime that tried to kill me.
Just tankie logic
They’re basically using Fox new republican logic of screaming about how everyone who doesn’t agree with them is persecuting them and is a bigot about spins wheel of things they like to call people.

Fucking lmao. Good riddance. This is at least the second time they’ve bailed before their shitty deeds can get them kicked out.
they already got booted from most instances I use
really doesn’t take much.
it’s so disheartening, like legitimately, how are these guys gonna cancel capitalism and destroy the west when they need to flee back to their safespace on the fucking internet.
“Wh-what do you mean people are shitty to us when we’re shitty to them?? This is [insert irrelevant accusation of bigotry here]! Critical support for Comrade Xi’s Concentration Camps!”
People who are so eager to dish it often can’t take it. Even in milder forms than the 4chan-esque trolling Hexbears use, like the horrible personal attack that is [checks notes] disputing that concentration camps are good.
Don’t forget how Rrracist the community icon is. How dare we!
My God, if only we had taken our mockery of Comrade Xi from someone unproblematic, like Chinese nationals!
I read 20 mins ago someone from hexbear complaining that calling Xi Winnie is racist because Winnie is yellow and Xi Chinese. Meanwhile, the meme was born in china, from chinese people. The west just adopted the icon that China’s govenment banned in china, after its own citizens popularized it.
SOOOoo it must be racist yeah /s
FYI, these super wide screenshots of text make it difficult to read on small/narrow screens (anyone using lemmy on their phone?)
Yeah impossible to read on jerboah - doesn’t allow pic zoom (on my phone anyway)
Even if there is an option to zoom, it’s difficult because to read the text you have to scroll sideways in small steps for each line
Adios 👋 you will not be missed
Lol this is the second time in a month they’ve done the “you can’t fire me I quit” thing
and it won’t be the last :(
Lol, I knew they’d run away like the buncha pussies they are. Glad they aren’t going to show up en mass anymore and derail threads with their bitching.
