    I don’t really care about the hexbears either way, the ones I’ve seen haven’t been too bad though I’ve heard there are some really bad ones

    What bothers me more is how quick mods seem to be to shut down any discussion about them whatsoever

    Went on the Lemmy matrix to ask about them one time and I just got one guy flooding the chat with “you should observe for yourself and form your own opinions”

      Many of them call for the imprisonment and death of everyone that disagrees with them who they label as fascist.

      It’s because a lot of Lemmy admins are actually on the take from dumbass tankies. Actually the two Lemmy devs are tankies too, or so the word on the street says.

      No one wants to even consider that, though.

        Who said I wasn’t also doing that? It’s not mutually exclusive, just a quick way to get a read on people’s sentiment towards them and to try to figure out why people shut down discussion about them so consistently

                You are not a hexbear, nor are you a moderator

                If the people shutting down discussions like that are tankies then they’re a damn sight more subtle about it than literally having “Stalinism” in their username

                  who said i’m trying to be subtle? Its not my style.

                  I am a hexbear, double passport.

                  Technically I mod the trans sublemmy on hex, but I have a little music sub on this account too. I dont care too much for it though, its all 1s and 0s.

          Because the truth is easier to find in person rather than through many other people’s filters, and the way you wrote it, it seemed like you thought that was a very stupid suggestion… Glad to hear you think it isn’t

            I thought it was a stupid assumption on their part that I wasn’t also poking around myself

            Yes that’s why science progresses the fastest when nobody’s collaborating and everybody starts from scratch

            … Wait

                Sounds like you expect a bar to never kick out annoying people because then the other customers didn’t get a chance to form their own opinion

                  No? Because a bar isn’t a good metaphor and people can be shitty and it’s really easy to see for yourself on the Internet

                    Why not? It’s easy to see for yourself in the bar too. You can just not listen, right?
