Why does such a large portion of lemm.ee want to block hexbear.net? And, how can Hexbearians improve? (hexbear.net)

Greetings dear lemm.ee folks,

I have noticed an increasing number of lemm.ee users dissatisfied with Hexbearians. Reading through the modlogs on hexbear.net, I have observed truckloads of lemm.ee users being banned on hexbear.net, meaning that they won't see any Hexbearian's reply to them since Hexbearians aren't able to see their comments. Despite this, I have yet to see the complaints from lemm.ee die down. May I politely ask, what is it that makes so many lemm.ee users hate us? And, how can we improve? Thanks!

I humbly request that all parties involved in the comments refrain from using slurs or name-calling to reduce the workload on mods and admins.

That last part especially is a very interesting observation 🤔 haven't noticed that until now

Seriously, go look at their instance, especially the political stuff. It is exactly like the alt-right, except instead of trying to get conservatives to sympathize with Hitler, they're trying to get liberals to sympathize with Pootin and Whinnie the Pooh.

That professed communists would support the CCP makes sense, though the CCP are not really communists anymore. For them to support Putin doesn’t make any sense in light of what they claim their ideological beliefs to be.

That's a bingo.

So they're tankie puppets

[–] turtlepower@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Yup. And they need to be defederated asap.

Gotta stay aware, friend. I hate what the term has become, but that's what "woke" actually is.

[–] RaincoatsGeorge@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Definitely not what ‘woke’ is. Now these jerkoffs may be claiming these terms and doing what they want with them. But that’s not historically what the term means or is about.

[–] turtlepower@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

It is historically what the term means and is about. It was first a call to wake up and recognize the power of the labor movement (early 1900s) and was then borrowed by black activists to stay aware of racial injustices (1920s). It means to pay the fuck attention to what the fuck is really going on. End of story.
