If those kids could read they'd be very upset
Hexbear users are welcome here, but I'm not really willing to allow promotion of their communities.
I didn't really know anything about Hexbear but I'm intrigued and will check it out now I know it's getting actively censored. What do you have against it?
Being actively against the capitalist status quo and US hegemony that's currently committing a genocide do be like that
As a rabid homosexual man I'm a little disappointed at the lack of twink self-posting communities on Hexbear. In fact there's not even a general gay community. I'll think about it.
There is! Check out /c/anti_cishet_aktion
But really, the entire instance is the general gay community lol
I think hexbear toned down some of their gayness ever since Putin banned being gay.
We've gotten even gayer since 😎
But still support Putin.
You mean Russia, and critically at that, mostly because it serves as a bulwark for China against NATO.
Pootin himself has greatly improved life in Russia and re-nationalized some industries, but he's also made anti-Lenin remarks in the past and supported an anti-LGBT bill back in 2013.
Lmaoooooo
Yeah? Lmao if you go even slightly past western propaganda you can see that poverty has more than halved on his first tenure as president cuz he followed through with his academic paper on how Russia could recover from the USSR's dissolution that he wrote the year before, increased the country's purchasing power by 72%, GDP increased consistently, and he reversed the mass privatizations forced on Russia by the west in the shock "therapy".
He has an over 75% approval rating and keeps getting elected in Russia for a reason: people have directly felt the massive improvement in quality of life under his presidency. It is decreasing in recent years though so he's clearly starting to outlive his usefulness.
I'd recommend this book on the topic if you're curious.
Half of 100% is still 50% lol. When you compare Russia's progress with that of the world in general, in line with technological improvements, it becomes clear that Russia has been inhibited by Putin's policies and is lagging behind.
Thank you for the book reference though. I'll have to dig to find a version I can access, but I'll add it to the list of disaster capitalist books I should read to figure out what the villains of the world are doing, alongside those of William Rees-Mogg.
"Villains of the world" lmao marvel brain really has done irreparable damage to humanity
Lol I hope your windows are near to the ground.
Lol I hope yours is too
Ooooo go on then, I'll bite. Seeing as I'm in a safe space here, and don't have to tread on eggshells to avoid an unhinged moderator carelessly spinning Thor's banhammer.
How is the US committing genocide right now?
Let's start with some facts - numbered, for your easy reply:
I'm willing to wager that you're ready and willing to spin anything into being the US' fault. The reality is far more nuanced. Your hyperbole does nothing to help the situation - however it does encourage war to keep going and maybe even escalate.
The only people who will benefit from this are those that manufacture and sell weapons. Wouldn't you know it, most of those people are in the US. Your actions are serving American capitalist war mongerers.
We're a leftist unity (commies and anarchists mostly) community that can be pretty abrasive if you take "being online" too seriously, but otherwise our barks are worse than our bites, heh.

They're just a bunch of assholes, to be succinct.
To give more detail, they are tankies who claim a far-left ideology. It's like lemmygrad but a bit more crazy. But what's really weird is that they're very pro LGBTQ+, but at the same time support Russia (who have outlawed being gay).
Hexbear mods are pretty unhinged, in my experience. They ban people for saying anything they disagree with, usually making extraordinary claims in the modlog to justify, which in no way relate to the comment they ban. Don't you dare suggest that Hamas was wrong to kill Israelis on 7 October, that's genocide apologia!!
I also wonder if there's a strong astroturfed element there. Like, they're trying to sucker people in to an extreme ideology.
Edit: Their modlog can be quite entertaining. It seems like they've toned down slightly, but I still didn't have to go that far to find claims of genocide support.
It also almost seems like they've purged their modlogs somewhat, as you see less detail the further you go down - although I expect that's actually a lemmy bug (I've seen similar looking at user profiles). If you look at the modlogs for individual communities you might see more. However, I'd warn you that spending time there simply isn't good for your soul.
When you roll around with pigs, you'll both get covered in shit. The difference is the pig likes it. /pig_shitting_png_they_always_post
Uhh okay whatever I didn't even think people on this instance could see it, the link doesn't work
If we weren't federated with you, you wouldn't be here.
I don't need someone to ask me how to moderate my community. Although, I do thank you for breaking my duck.
I was actually hoping this could've been the start of a conversation where you'd tell me why to allow your link and restore it. Instead, you've tried to circumvent me and apparently brought someone in to upvote your removed comment after it was gone.
I'm still open to discussion.
Lol I just came across it on my home page, and removed comments are still visible on Sync fortunately.
You came late to the party, and only upvoted after I pointed out the downvote. The scores are getting kind of meaningless now anyway - moreso than normal, at least.
But yeah, that's a funky bug I'm quietly aware of. It works on Jerboa as well, and a few others (but maybe not the ones that are merely web wrappers). Seems like the back end API still gives you access to comments that a user has deleted. There's apparently 3 levels of deletion - user delete, moderator delete, and purge. I found a comment earlier that was deleted, when I looked inside it said
*permanently deleted*Oooo snippy!!!
have you ever been gay with your dad?
Lmfao that's between me and my psychiatrist.
I like the cut of your jib. Don't fall asleep.
I have no interest in speaking with you at all. Call your wife or mom.
