What is hexbear?
I saw a post that talked about racism towards people and when I talked about it the response I got was very heated and a person even called lemmy.world a community of 'hitlerites'
I have been around for a week or so and this is my first time seeing such explicit vulgar reaction towards another community, is this a one-off or should I block hexbear?
You're viewing a single thread.
Hexbear.net, lemmy.ml and Lemmygrad.ml have a lot of extreme leftists who have very wild takes that could be mistaken for right wing takes.
I personally don't recommend blocking them because outside of political threads they make up a lot of the content/memes/discussions, but up to you if you want to try that out.
God forbid any of these genocidal white supremacists calling themselves leftists and parroting 1950's red scare propaganda self select themselves out of our hair
I mean I think I gave a pretty balanced overview of the information
Oh wait sorry I misread your original comment.
I've blocked all 3, I see comments from them but not posts.
Most of the communities are are slowly moving away anyway, given how many users don't want to engage with the instance at all.
There's honestly a lot of high quality posts on lemmy.ml. Maybe some from Hexbear if you're into leftist niches like veganism
Sure, but that content could go elsewhere where you can actually criticize China without catching a ban. And if those communities choose not to, that's their problem when more and more people decide to block their instance as not worth dealing with.
they make up a lot of the content/memes/discussions
Shouldn't be "rewarding" them with content/activity, they only have like 2 or 3 communities that crack the top 20 in MAUs these days anyways. And they're all .ml
