Hexbear

Funhouse mirror version but yeah it is pretty similar, never thought about that.

"hexbear is fediverse 4chan!!!"

has the largest weekly trans megathread in the entire fediverse, a supermajority of non-cishet users, aggressively bans racism, bigotry and transphobia on sight, has hard-coded mandatory pronoun tags

Lmao okay, sure bud

4chan has a massive trans community and aggressively racisms and bigotrees on sight. Its the other end of the horseshoe

Horshoe theory is horseshit, as even NATOpedia will tell you: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horseshoe_theory#Academic_studies_and_criticism

Ok that's not really relevant unless you consider the lgbt community on 4chan to not be extremely bigoted or you consider hexbear to be extremely bigoted.

[–] Fidel_Cashflow@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

do you consider hexbear to be extremely bigoted? if so, against who?

[–] davel@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Reactionaries are a protected class.

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz -1 points 2 months ago

No I don't consider them bigoted hence why I put them on the Otherside of the spectrum

[–] alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago

What similarities are there, other than the users being exceptionally ornery?

[–] AntiOutsideAktion@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Sounds like someone got bullied for having a bad take and now can't tell the difference between nazis and queers

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

If you enjoy dumb takes and edgy politics it's for you. I'm not surprised someone from ml is defending hexbear tbh.

Not to mention your defense is "you got bullied". Sounds like an awesome place, eh.

For what it's worth, I am a frequent lurker of hexbear and their users' newspaper archive is wonderful - every politician is full of it and they know it full well.

[–] AntiOutsideAktion@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Willing to bet 'dumb takes' and 'edgy politics' exactly describe the correct moral position in the argument you got bullied over your bad takes. Care to elaborate or just gonna hide in the tall grass of hypotheticals and generalizations?

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I never said I got bullied. That's you telling everyone your experience.
