Am I taking crazy pills? Last I heard hexbear doesn't even exist anymore.

Are yall so laser focused on feudposting you missed that piece of news?

It's wild how much a game of telephone happens even within what you'd expect to be the closest circle of association

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 9 points 6 days ago

Hexbear exists, the domain is changing names and federation is broken for now but posting is still happening on chapo.chat.

[–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 9 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I had to check but hexbear currently redirects to chapo.chat so I assume they have the domain for now.

Which says a lot about the manufactured outrage. Nobody even has a clue what is going on over at hexbear, but somehow their Lemmy experience is ruined by it.

Regardless of whether you're politically left or right, I feel like the hexbear crowd is just tremendously unfriendly. Even when I agree with them, I usually feel bad reading what they have to say. Being unwelcoming is not a good strategy for proliferating one's politics.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 5 points 6 days ago

Depends, if you're a Communist or an Anarchist and aren't being sectarian (except against, like, Gonzaloists that support Gonzalo and defend Pol Pot), it's very friendly. By not allowing liberalism, it ends up stopping endless arguments between leftists and liberals before they can even start.

Tankies shit my pants.

I've seen "hexbear" but have no idea what it is, so clearly it's not ruining anything for me.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 5 points 6 days ago

It's a Communist/Anarchist instance, Lemmy.world defederated from it before they had a chance to federate.

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Hexbear, grad and .ml are the Tankie Triad, .world defed's from Hex and grad because Hex is the worst, Grad is runner up. .ml tends to be more subtle about it and has largely avoided a more mass defederation movement like what happened with hex and grad

.ml is not subtle, they just circlejerk within their sub a shit ton, rather than infesting other communities. Usually the idiots tend to congregate it seems.
