I am genuinely confused about how Hexbearians thought being dicks on the internet was going to change any hearts and/or minds

They arent just dicks. They are maniacs who are in favour of the genocides commited against ukranians and uyghurs.

No deal
I mean it has worked, I never had so much vitriol for weak willed tankies before this!
Im so radicalized, I might vote Neoliberally, woahhhh~ i make compromises with existing powers, oooooo~ I understand that people with different views than me can be reasonable people, ooooh~ spooky ghost hands
Hexbear is naïve, clinging to foundational theory without understanding the basic tenant of people. If you adopt a lick of psychology or sociology, you quickly understand how no one theory ever solves anything, and antagonizing people into your movement is not a way to turn hearts.

I was shocked to realize that the degens on that instance aren't just trolls setting out to make the far left look as stupid as possible, they're true believers and really are that dumb. For a few harrowing days until they received defederation in exchange for their cool emojis and tankie wordvomit, I wondered whether McCarthy maybe wasn't such a bad guy after all.

Well I'm glad Hexbears have stopped spamming pig testicles at least. But. First impressions mean a lot and they did not make a good one.
Their most obnoxious members really need to learn how to proselytize because they're their own worst enemy.
You don't lead with the crazy genocide denial, you lead with pointing out stuff like Churchill genociding 3 million Indians with the Bengal famine, or that South Korea was a fascist state before the Korean war.
Oh, look, so was Vietnam.
Oh, weird, so was etc etc etc etc

the symbol was making me think it was a cryptocurrency
All I've seen from Hexbear is class consciousness shit, but everybody else has made it the key point of their online existence to rage on them and do all the garbage they accuse hexbear of. 🤷
Sorry y'all can't adequately explain why giving every cent of the economy to three people is a good thing.
EDIT: I hear what people are saying but it sounds like, from my limited experience of looking at posts pushed to me from there, that people are using the actions of a few to discredit the beliefs and opinions of everyone they disagree with.
EDIT2: LOL @ the people calling me names then blocking me for disagreeing with them. Thought that was Hexbear did, not you EnLigHtEnEd TyPeS JFC 😂
For me it was the brain dead disgusting coments they make about Ukraine and the war.
Why not discuss your perspective on the international news megathread

Just try to engage in a good-faith conversation with them. They love to shut that shit down with their weird image spams. And the poop. Like literal images of poop, to scare people off, or something. I really don't get it.

It was the calls to murder anyone who supports a democratic candidate, with the justification that cops have killed homeless people that turned me off.
that and the stupid image emojis
You have sources on that first bit lol? I’m not sure what you’re talking about.
Unless you’re meaning jokes about fascist voters falling down a manhole or something?

The issue with Hexbear is that their users tend to talk in a very demeaning and insulting manner. About half of the popular posts on Hexbear are about making fun of people or communities. Their political views are less of an issue; it's more about their toxic behaviour.
😔
I mean, that's most people inside the more mainstream American Overton window of mid right to far right, but nobody bats an eye at that because they're upholding the status quo. 🤷

This can be interpreted as bad faith if you don't mention towards whom this behavior is directed at.
Their political views are less of an issue
Thank you for admitting it's about the optics (which is not a concern for us)

I’m surprised no one shared all the emoji publicly
It's not like they're secret.They used to be public on the gittea repository. Can't find the link post federation tho

Once you make an account you also transition to a new gender eventually. Like Mars people from Carole and Tuesday / Cowboy Bebop. It cranks.
