one of their tankie leaders just got caught calling trans issues “western pink washing.”

Your whole post is made up, but this is at least a specific claim that also didn't happen. Pics or you're talking shit.

I didn't realise committing genocide made people look good, I guess. You know those militaries kill lgbt people too right?

That's.. a single post, without the user or even vote count shown.

This is just.. not representative of any opinion on Hexbear in it's entire history. But feel free to lie.

lol, what disruption did they do when LW "pre-emptively defederated" them "as a last resort"? Or did they just get banned for being leftists?

I cannot facepalm hard enough when I see lgbt people (or anyone) who praise western genocidal military alliances either. What's your point?

They're an explicitly leftist comm, a lot of people take offense to being called out on right-wing assertions, and the .world'ers whip up myths without having ever seen or federated with Hexbear themselves.

That's all really - Take a glance at the site if you want to know what it's about, rather than take people at their word on it.

Utter nonsense, left unity is real. And yes, I have accounts on both, I didn't realise that was a secret spy crime :)

You clearly don't have a good handle if you can't even work out the very obvious fact that nobody there thinks "Russia is the best".

How so? Because they don't want Donald Trump either.

Source: No source, because all this shit is always made the fuck up.

This is satire, right? Nobody over there glorifies or likes Pol Pot.

It glances over so much important stuff

Sure does. Like the 8-year long shelling civilians campaign that Ukraine was undertaking on Donetsk and Luhansk, solely on the basis that it wanted to deny them a vote on their own autonomy.

This is just plain not true. Cool strawmanning.

As with every single time this comes up. "Hexbear would TOTALLY say this" "Oh really, any examples?" "NO BUT THEY WOULD I BET PROBABLY"

Did anybody say admins aren't entitled to block stuff? User just wanted a system to see everything and block what they didn't want.

Fuck off with this aggressive bad-faith shit.

Just not true. There are a lot of anarchists on there. In fact a large portion of their emotes are dedicated to left unity.

How did Hexbear ever harass everyone here? Lemmy.world never even federated with them for a second.

Lol. Absolute nonsense. Every time anyone is asked for an example of bad Hexbear behaviour they can only ever say "I HAVE NO EXAMPLES BUT I PROMISE IT WILL HAPPEN". Speak about other people like they're human beings pl0x

All I can say is that you clearly have no familiarity with open source development or the active contributors within it.

Sorry, I should've been clearer, the myth you spouted isn't just baseless, it's actually been disproved. Different generations change their political leaning in different ways as they age.
