And I don’t blame her for it, I’m just remarking its a show of inexperience on being part of Lemmy.

While this was happening here, I was wondering how larger instances were handling the matter, especially Beehaw. In retrospect, however, it makes sense that they just defederated on sight since they’re clearly more experienced and organized. Sadly Ada mostly has to do everything here, given the recent foundation of the instance.

Hexbear is what happens when kids (I hope they’re all in their early 20s or teens, because otherwise this gets much sadder) spend years reading on leftist theory but have zero real world experience. They get intense, volatile, argumentative and have no idea how those points reflect on themselves and in reality. This is why they go around prancing those absurd beliefs and fencing anyone who disagrees out, while also dogpilling and swarming communities that don’t agree: They only know what its like to be leftists in theory.

The one person who made the “”“”““peace””“”“” thread had an earlier post here in Blahaj saying that since working under capitalism is coercion then everyone who solicits sex workers is a rapist, and that’s basically the level of being disconnected from reality that they operate in. Unfortunately for them, their echo chamber is going to go on and be the equivalent of a left wing /pol/. For us - and hopefully all other major instances - its a relief to be rid of such crowd.

You already caused enough damage, please just leave. You are not wanted or welcome, and the defederation needs to be permanent and mutual to keep the rest of you out.

Perfect outcome, they get to feel superior despite doing nothing - which is their only goal - and we get to clean their mess.

The comparison to SomethingAwful is extremely on point, as that’s the exact way they behave. Frankly, I think that type of volatile internet space should be left behind, and that’s as a former goon. They’re just ultimately shallow people who argue for the sake of arguing and bring nothing but discomfort to others.

I would not even call Hexbear extremists or allies, they are just plain trolls who use leftist arguments and tone policing to establish themselves as superior. The current thread on the supposed ableism that is being argued is a clear example of that: Tone policing, forcing absolute rules on who can and who can’t use their dialects, moral judgement on strangers based on absurd rules, and not to mention the flooding and baiting that has been done so far. They are the equivalent of a SomethingAwful leftism, loud, demanding and pointless.

Voting for defederation, if only to clean up the mess that they’ve been making.

there’s no far left in the US

Well…is he?

Lucky, rare instance of a cop not shooting a dog

I was going to mention something like this in another post that was concerned about the server slowing down. I particularly only use imgchest for my posts, as it replaced Imgur after their nsfw ban, and don’t see why we can’t limit uploads to that or other 3rd party services like catbox, imgpile, and such.

“Bro Explaining” is a meme format where a guy is enthusiastically preaching about a subject to a clearly uninterested woman, in this case transposed to a Space Marine spreading Codex Astartes lore

Não sei de que “questões políticas” se trata. No máximo que consigo pensar em VPNs seria para algum site de pirataria bloqueado, mas mesmo isso é questão de procurar outro site similar.

Lemmynsfw has been both cannibalizing itself and burning bridges with every other community. I don’t think it’ll be long before they topple down and its users scurry to the other established nsfw spaces, there’s no way they can competently mantain a level of moderation, and that not counting what they want to allow, like what you found out.

Its good to have nsfw spaces, but so far Lemmy has not been shown to be a good platform for that (unless you’re on the “no restrictions” type of user) so overall I’m glad with the action taken.

If you’re really looking for not-catch-all systems

I’m not, but don’t let that get in your way of reccomending good stuff that you enjoy playing. There’s nothing wrong with taking a free opportunity to talk about games you like.

God, Niji is bleeding talents lately. I didn’t watch much of Nina or Mysta but they both caught me by surprise from being streamers that did mostly their own thing rather than big projects, and still couldn’t keep up with the flow.

At this point they really need to start focusing on some re-structuring (I imagine the recent wave being smaller was part of this) and better management unless all their biggest names start dropping out.

Even a bit later, sometimes. From “Snow Crash”:

Until a man is twenty-five, he still thinks, every so often, that under the right circumstances he could be the baddest motherfucker in the world. If I moved to a martial arts monastery in China and studied real hard for ten years. If my family was wiped out by Columbian drug dealers and I swore myself to revenge. If I got a fatal disease, had one year to live, devoted it to wiping out street crime. If I just dropped out and devoted my life to being bad.

Hiro used to feel that way, too, but then he ran into Raven. In a way, this is liberating. He no longer has to worry about trying to be the baddest motherfucker in the world. That position is taken.

Thank you for your hard work.

This is wild, I’ve deleted my cookies so many times but this method is the one that fixed the bug.

Thanks, hun.

Is your account set to “English”? I can’t see that tag on your post, so you might not have it by default.

Sometimes communities also take a while to show up on search results, I have no idea why.
