This is an instance we have never federated making a defederation post about us. You can search the instances page, we’ve never linked with a kbin instance. we’ve never interacted with kbin users. we don’t even have to dunk on them for our posting power to overwhelm.
It’s endlessly hilarious to me how utterly terrified liberals are of a highly-active explicitly-leftist forum that they’re powerless to shut down. They simply don’t know how to handle us, and it breaks their brains.
I’m not even political, but what the fuck is the capital owning class doing not having the means of production expropriated from their wretched, blood-stained hands?
Liberals screaming and whining day and night about Jorge Waroll 1980 and demanding censorship of political opponents in the same breath
Yup and there isn’t a long dead right wing space they can ban at the same time to pretend it wasn’t just about shutting down any place left of Clinton.
That and sounds like the original creators of the site who had the idea to do reddit but without the pitfalls of capitalism aren’t gonna be nearly as sympathetic to them wining about civility as the self professed self imagined post apocolyptic warlord of reddit.
I’ve seen their brigading on lemmy communities before. They will also serial downvote anything they don’t like.
Reality can be whatever I want.
also bring back downvotes but only for federated servers
i see so many people going “ahh hexbear users don’t engage in good faith” and then say shit like this directly after, like itd be funny if i didnt see it every other day
Can’t leave a comment on .world anymore without them crawling out of the woodworks to harass and insult you no matter the content of your comment. Hexbear may be lucky they defederated you so quickly.
Federation with Hexbear has been a highlight of my summer! They’ve just never heard anything but liberal propaganda their entire lives and don’t take the time to think critically when they see opposing views or evidence that doesn’t align with their beliefs.
Kbin doesn’t comply as well with ActivityPub standards, and it shows posts and comments from Hexbear, which Kbin users comment on and reply to.
Here’s an example of a Kbin user commenting on a Hexbear post. But that kbin.social comment doesn’t show up on lemmy.ml, because, after all, Hexbear doesn’t federate with kbin.social.
So Kbin users are replying to Hexbear, maybe with the intent of rebutting, and Hexbear users never respond. If I were a lib, I’d think I won an argument or something
I really wish there was a bot or something to grab all the defedded libs responses to stuff here. That could be quality dunk tank material.
I’m still trying to figure out why anyone would start a brand new web service project in PHP of all languages in 2021.
ngl, I hate writing go because they managed to design a language that learned nothing from 30 years of development on programming languages. the structure of the code is invariably obscured by the never ending boilerplate, it’s impossible to abstract over common patterns or even to write parameterized data structures, and a modern programming language with nulls is inexcusable.
That said, I’ve been starting hobby projects with Go+HTMX for about a month and that’s been pretty fun
Amen to that! Go is easily my favourite language for writing web backends. 95% of what one needs for the average web project is part of the standard library, including that really nice automatically-multithreaded web server. And the html templating is wonderful to work with. Most of what I write has to work javascript-free in a default-settings Tor browser. Go’s templating makes it really simple to do server-side rendering of complex pages.
A nice bonus is that the very C-like syntax meshes well with my grew-up-on-C brain. For me PHP’s syntax is downright Lovecraftian.
this is what the. hex bear wants. we cannot link the Goulash Arch-pelican at them… 1987
Imagine being this much of a fucking loser
Liberalism takes hold in the human mind as a defense mechanism against feeling helpless.
We’re definitely triggering to most libs. Probably to a degree far worse than conservatives.
Imagine you have this highly idealized worldview that paints politics as a grand battle between good and evil. You aren’t content with the state of things, but shit wouldn’t be so bad if more people would just . You want nothing more than for the right combination of candidates & slogans to appear to allow fixing things.
Then some fucking guy comes along and tells you the conditions in your perfect storm political scenario are entirely insufficient at achieving your goals. He says not only that your sole mechanism for exerting influence over the world is worthless, but also achieving your goals is dependent on subverting that mechanism entirely.
That must feel insanely uncomfortable. Virgin minds will ferociously resist accepting the helplessness without an alternative mechanism to provide that hope.
Hence why we must be Russians or crypto fash or something. Conceding any of our points means introducing those feelings of helplessness. It is simply safer for one’s ego to believe we’re incognito bad guys™ than accept that people who want the same ends don’t believe in the holy means.

That’d be like some non-Hogwarts wizard showing up in the final Harry Potter book, telling Harry that his ideology is bullshit and that the magic nazis will never stop returning while Harry’s a status quo magic cop, then shoving that liberal nerd aside and actually bringing magic to the people because magic eugenics is also a lie.
That’d be awesome.
You reminded me I need to check out Reign of the Seven Spellblades because, at the very least, some people here might really like it. It earned points with me by pointedly centering a Hermione-like advocate for “hey, maybe wizards shouldn’t do slavery to magical creatures” and not having her be brushed aside so casually.
Buying their own bullshit.
They think they’re better than republicans to the point they don’t even really care about their opinions because they recognize they’re a bunch of bigots.
They also think they’re as “progressive as they come” so therefore they’re the best person.
So if there is somebody that actually is more progressive than them either thay aren’t a faultless moral paragon, or thenother people are lying.
We see the level of self reflection they’re capable of.
