Hexbear is the_donald of the fediverse. They’re doing it to troll and get people angry.

Hexbear is fascist. They’re pretending to be tankies, but every single post on there is right-wing and bigoted. It’s so damn obvious.

I believe you, but i honestly can’t find anything fascist on their front page right now
- gayhitler420 ( @gayhitler420@lemm.ee ) 13•11 months ago
Never seen anything fascist there myself either.

Give it time. You’ll stumble across a pro-Putin post eventually.

… has made the fediverse an unsafe space for our queer, disabled, neurodivergent, non-western, and other marginalized comrades on this forum …
It’s like they think this is a shield or something. They spew this bullshit and they think it will stop people from criticizing them because they are so noble. We see through the bullshit. We know what they are.

They’re using it as a shield, but it’s also much worse than that, it’s textbook toxic manipulators trying to control the narrative: „Look what you made me do!“. They’re trying to guilt-shame the other party into submission.
The utter lack of LGBT content on
hexbearwhinograd is quite telling, also apparently someone on there took notice and they’re trying really hard to push some pro-trans memes now 😂- MapleEngineer ( @MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca ) English8•11 months ago
It’s the same as, “I’m not a racist. I have a friend who is _____.”

What’s a cost?
- MapleEngineer ( @MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca ) English4•11 months ago
Ducking autocucumber!
I meant to type “racist” but my phone changed it to “cost” and I didn’t notice.

I honestly saw plenty of pro-trans stuff there before. Loke, an inordinate amount

Where does blahaj say they have no quarter for hexbear users (I see lemmygrad users, but not hexbear) and how is being okay with trans people but personally preferring boobs over penises “chaser” behavior? Why is screenshotting relevant DMs between admins defed-worthy? Is removing heated political conversations ableist? (I see the “X-tard” part of the screenshot, but 80% of the screenshot looks like a communist getting mad and borderline ad hominem, beyond any point about using appropriate language.)
I’m a leftist and all for the Fediverse being able to choose who to federate with, but often the receipts posted by Fedi admins seem incredibly weak. Absolutely protect marginalized people with your full strength and might, but it seems like the people most directly hurt here are the hexbear admin themself. But I don’t know, I’m just a random nobody, all I can see are the receipts the admin shows me 🤷
- Veraticus ( @Veraticus@lib.lgbt ) English49•11 months ago
Yep. They read a bunch of stuff in the worst possible light ever, called the people involved a bunch of nasty names, and left. Basically typical Hexbear behavior.
They will not be missed.
- Mossy Feathers (They/Them) ( @MossyFeathers@pawb.social ) 37•11 months ago
lemmy.blahaj.zone is run by trans women. That’s the thing that weirds me out the most. The owners are trans but hexbear is trying to make it sound like they’re some kinda Nazi anti-lgbt crowd.
Edit: all I can say is that I’m glad that my doesn’t seem to be federated with hexbear.
- Kichae ( @Kichae@kbin.social ) 22•11 months ago
It feels like an effective way to undermine vulnerable people. Just accuse them of shit that makes them look bad to their target audience. It’s up there with accusing people of doing things that you’re actually doing to convince people that what you’re doing is normal.
- Guns4Gnus ( @Guns4Gnus@lemmy.ca ) 16•11 months ago
The conservative way.
- MapleEngineer ( @MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca ) English7•11 months ago
The Nazis accused the Jews of being pedophiles. This has been part of the extremist playbook for ever.
- dingleberry ( @dingleberry@discuss.tchncs.de ) 27•11 months ago
Now if they can also defederate from every instance I’ve ever browsed… that’ll be swell.
- roguetrick ( @roguetrick@kbin.social ) 8•11 months ago
Dumb drama. Defederating over one community not allowing them to control the narrative.
- -☆- ( @Star@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) English3•11 months ago
Seems like they were mostly mad about 196. Pretty disappointed in hiw they handled it
- yuri ( @yuri@feddit.nl ) 1•10 months ago
I love how much these bad-faith actors use the phrase “good faith”. Like if I scream loud enough that I’m virtous, no one will judge me by my actions.
