Ooh shift change. Why do you lot latch onto a rehtorical question so hard? Is your victim complex really that strong? I simply pointed out that a lot of hexbear users are piling onto those that disagree with the OP and you're proving my my point. You detach from the discussion and start going after the person almost every time.
Btw you should really share notes, one of your comrades already tried to say I didn't understand how federation works and you're both wrong. Keep trying though ๐ฅฑ
Perhaps you should click my profile before talking out of your ass. I am a lemm.ee user that explicitly supported defederating Hexbear in our meta thread on it. I'm not super fond of how they participate generally, but they are quite right about this one.
Oops, did you forget to switch accounts the first time you commented? Or do you just share the lack of reading comprehension with your hexbear friends? I didn't say it was only hexbear users piling on, just that there were a lot of them.
Big Dean Browning vibes my internet person. If you think I'm talking out of my ass I don't want to know where you're talking from right now. Yikes.
It showed up as you replying to me talking about shift change at hexbear so idk what you want from me man. You can pretend I am a hexbear that inexplicably posted about wanting to defed them days ago just so I could gotcha someone, but I'm just a Linux guy who would rather we didn't use racist terms.
The shift change comment was to a hexbear user, as the screenshot shows. For what it's worth I had to go to the hexbear instance to see the full thread, your reply was coming up with no way for me to view context so I wasn't sure if I actually fucked up or what happened. We can blame Lemmy growing pains I suppose.
I'm also just a Linux guy getting by. But I reject the notion that a term considered racist in one context continues to be so outside of that context, terms that only exist in a racist context (n word) not withstanding. All of the times I've seen rice used to describe a person's DE changes has always been a point of pride and not pejorative. This one's ripe to defang and the people interested in perpetuating it as racist are largely hexbear users and some stragglers that align with them on this point.
That said I don't care if the term changes or not, but the apparent brigading and piling on centered around hexbear users masquerading as "omg we're just so popular" is laughable.
