Someone needs to make a bit account that is literally just called lemme.ee and post only awful takes. You heard it here first folks
Also bring back downbears but only for posters from lemmy so it can be a certified moron asshole badge.
That would be a good bit. Downbears only for non local posters so every Hexbear post is massively upbeared and every bad take is massively downbeared. Non local posters with good takes can have a little upbear too, as a treat
I miss her, that was my favorite bit account. Although I guess the impact wouldn’t be as much of a whiplash now, since we have lost libs wandering into posts anyway.
Hey :(
I use lemm.ee because the big lib instances have not defederated it (.world, beehaw) and they still federate with hexbear (I also like slrpnk.net and they defederated from hexbear as well).
There are other instances out there, who just simply don’t take political stances. I specifically chose one ran by oldschool internet heads. AFAIK we’ve not defederated with anyone, and the userbase would revolt if admins did without very, very good reason.

There are, like, CSAM and Nazi instances.
I can only speak for myself, but I never see them in my All. Likely because I just block and move on when something I deem genuinely misanthropic pops up.
EDIT: I also have NSFW turned off, not sure if that also would be a factor.
Ditto Odo. I like having the agency to choose to block / ingnore users or instances I dislike. I understand some people may not be in a headspace where they are able to ignore vitriolic / harmful posts or opinions and some people simply don’t want to have to block every other post and just enjoy their space.
.ee seemed to tick all the boxes at the time while being large / established enough to not fly by night.
I don’t understand this post or the existing discussion. Eli5?
OP is suggesting that a large portion of the lemmee userbase are racist neoliberals who share their racist neoliberal opinions proactively.
Personally I wouldn’t phrase it the way they did (it’s too totalizing) but I’ve definitely mainly seen terrible racist and/or neoliberal opininos from that site. There are also cool people there, though.
I’m going to make a hexbear account because I’m tired of racist takes from other instances. Fuck this shit. I joined this instance for the uptime because lemmigrad and .ml were frequently down, and hexbear layout was confusing me. How stupid of me.

Welcum to the dark side.
I kinda hope they don’t defenestrate or whatever, there’s a perverse glee in the whiplash of seeing all these Reddit posts showing up on Hexbear
Might get old though
It’s fun to body them but I don’t like seeing reactionary shit on hexbear, I’m here to escape that.
Last time I saw one here, a bunch of great comrades from the news megathread dogpiled them with walls of text, literally so much text I had to scroll for a considerable amount of time. I don’t think that’s ever getting old.
Communists don’t ask each other questions because they’re all supposed to have read everything. It’s safer to let the libs ask the question, dunk, and then hope a comrade provides a good answer, knowing you’ll repay the favour when the next lib asks something you do know about, like an obscure paragraph in a forgotten letter about the analogical virtues of cheese over linen in MECW volume 37.
what, I ask questions all the time. I haven’t read literally everything yet, there’s always going to be gaps.
