Diva (she/her)

db0 is many things, but a tankie is not one of them

I’m more of an anarchist and I’ve not had issues with hexbear or .ml, though I don’t block lemmygrad I’m not subbed to most of their communities mostly because sectarianism bothers me.

I feel like I always have to check if I’m posting on something that’s on .world because even relatively mild off-color humor can get removed as “incivility” if it rubs a mod the wrong way.

Oh you’re the one with the hyperfixation on hexbear.

As you were officer. 🫡

everyone who politically disagrees with me is either not human or a “useful idiot”

Hopefully some day we can find the root of this toxic division haunting lemmy 🙏

Sure, it was toxic in other ways, but Lemmy in 2024 is basically 2004 Slashdot - just replace Bush with Trump

Lmao I was there, can confirm

The bickering about software platforms is unchanged and people will jump down your throat for voicing an independent thought.

I remember liberals getting just as mad for naysaying Kerry as they do Biden now.

Makes sense, I keep hearing people using rust for microcontroller, even had someone telling me that it could be use for fpga code, but I’m skeptical of the utility

Maybe translation issue? I just meant for fpga work int is 32 signed by default, but it’s way more common to use logic variables which are unsigned and arbitrary length (>=1)

I use unsigned and fixed point sub-16 bit integers (you can make them almost any size you want) in gateware you can optimize things and one of those is not using a ton of huge numbers to do math when you don’t need to.

Sounds like you’re the one with the cult-like devotion, but sure whatever you say officer

They clearly revel in “dunking on libs” by chain downvoting and harassing people when they say things that the hexbear hive mind disagrees with. And yet always claim innocence when their obvious brigading is called out, as you are currently doing.

They don’t even have down votes turned on, unless you’re saying that their users are going out of their way to make alt accounts specifically to downvote.

This looks like projection as you are the one who seems to think that down votes are some shield against wrong think and they don’t seem to care about them at all.

You made a huge wall of text with some claims not borne out by your links, did you even fully read what you were citing or did you skim looking for things to confirm your argument?

From you:

Took a poll on which other instances to deferate from, then promptly ignored the results that said no and defederated from them anyway:-P lemm.ee for instance had 41 votes to keep it and only 4 for it to go, but despite the additional order of magnitude and some passionate responses defending the former (e.g. “But man we should at least stay federated with lemm.ee, that instance’s admin has been very reasonable and it hasn’t caused much trouble at all; nothing that banning any troublemakers can’t fix.”), they defederated from it anyway. An

From the hexbear discussion

However, as expressed by users belonging to marginalized groups, comments from .ee users are often lib-shit and in some cases outright hostile. While many on hexbear love dunking on these lost libs the duty to protect marginalized users is much more important

Again quoting you:

at sh.itjust.works, where they thought long & hard about it (mind you this is an EXTREMELY permissive server, chock-full of reasonable-minded people,

The hexbear thread expressed the same rationale to block “shits fulla chuds” the fact that you characterize them as reasonable-minded people speaks volumes about you personally.

Just checking in with how someone from a marginalized community felt about this situation: https://hexbear.net/post/497935

Is posting a meme to "own the liberals" worth your comrades getting more trauma from bigots harassing them?

No its not.

you've had your laugh, but it should end

Ban them all, SJW, lemm.ee, lemmy, the programmer nazi edglords. Keep Lemmygrad.

I was ready to take you seriously but if you’re misrepresenting your very first points that’s a lot harder. You’ve been doing more than that, you’ve been inverting the actual history and in the process ommitted the actual options of marginalized people to suit your narrative.

If you enjoy LGBTQIA+ content, it is everywhere, e.g. the variety of blahaj’s that exist - the most popular of which is https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/, with the highest number of users (and to reveal my own bias, I’ve never seen anything written from their admin, Ada, that I have not thoroughly enjoyed reading

Hexbear is majority non-cis, and its weekly trans megatheads are extremely active. I already looked into this, they have done several polls, and have chatted with a number of them since I started moderating /c/transgender

But I advise to steer well clear of bigots. Except of course to learn about the situation - definitely check it out, and then you’ll know.

Are you trying to imply that they’re bigots now? On what basis? If anything you’ve said enough to make me suspect you more than anyone else.

Edit: like clockwork, I check the mod log and you posted this embarrassing comment 8 months ago and got mocked roundly for it. I can see why you’re still holding a grudge now.

lol:

That’s literally what every trot org does, they sing Lenins praises, while continuing to bicker about factional infighting from close to a hundred years ago.

I have family members who were (forcibly) internally resettled in the USSR who hold less of a grudge against Stalin than some American trots I’ve encountered.

I know my local revolutionnary/communist party, despite being leninist, is fiercely anti-Stalin, for instance. The fixation on defending totalitarianism is frankly bizarre.

You sound like you’re talking about trotskyists, who have been the main ones keeping the old communist scarecrows alive on the left

I remember going to one of my local groups anti-fascism reading years back and it was mostly a bunch of white people rambling about how evil Stalin was.

By comparison the student maoists I’ve known have way more nuanced opinions on Stalin and actually do community and propaganda work rather than selling newspapers

I’m honestly not sure what to make of this comment?

If this is what you think agreeing looks like then I pity the people in your life.

NATO was virtually entirely a mutual defense pact vs Russia in their previous incarnation as the USSR.

This “defense pact” has invaded, bombed and destroyed many countries within only my lifetime, it’s a laughable statement unless your historical horizon is less than a decade.

Living in America it’s incredible to me how people I run into don’t even know the countries that their own government has invaded using its “defense pact”, or pay attention to people whose lives they’ve ruined, and thus can’t even understand why people see them as a threat.

I was trying to wrap my head around the guy complaining about the lack of civil disagreement, people bullying and demeaning while simultaneously posting a thread calling all the users on what’s one of the largest trans instances on lemmy “insane” in the title before walking it back in the body

think a little clarification is needed. No. I don’t actually think everyone there is insane.

Why make it the post title then unless you’re fishing for negative engagement?

They just let the hogs shit on balls then they photograph them and crop them into little emoji, don’t ask me why I’m not an anthropologist

Just quoting you:

How are you disputing the fact that OP is getting downvoted by hexbears right now?

Between 2 and n “hexbears” (understood to mean “humans afflicted with hexbear mind virus using other servers”) are behaving in some coordinated way. You were pretty clearly implying that it’s some conspiracy rather than simply other users disagreeing with you.

I’m sure there are people who primarily use hexbear and use alts, some of them may even be downvoting you.

I took your assertion to its ridiculous conclusion because it’s a ridiculous thing to be complaining about in the first place, as in not a real problem.

Gaslighting? Disingenuous? You’re the one asserting that anyone down voting must be a hexbear alt, by virtue of the fact that nobody could possibly disagree unless they were already a hexbear user.

It’s just a bit circular and not disprovable anyways. Maybe the admins should just check the logs and ban everyone who’s down voted so you can rest easy. Wouldn’t want to have any authoritarians using lemmy.

Hexbear, famous for having down votes turned on. But yeah, you’re totally surrounded by secret hexbears all down voting you

Before I get accused of being a hexbear alt, I only added them after I saw that they were in common use due to hexbear posters showing up in my /all. We did actually start mandating pronoun tags for people participating in /c/transgender -despite the fact that some of the admins are resistant at the instance level- because it seems to work well in the trans spaces on hexbear for fostering a respectful environment.
