One of them sent me a private message:
your grandfather was a nazi scumfuck that deserves to die
Nice people.
And my grandfather was not German, he lived in an actual communist country and hated it.
Never had the trash take itself out before. Feels good.
In Communist China, trash takes out you
Everyone that disagrees with them is a Nazi yet they actively deny the ongoing genocide of Uyghers.
So calling out tankies for their dictatorship support and defense of genocides made us the Nazis?
Sure, Jan.
Can we still follow through with defederating them? This is definitely a ploy so they can start back up whenever they want.
The admins don't have plans on defederating.
Yah, saw that they locked down your vote on that, then made some sort of "why can't we all just get along" comment to rub it in.
And said something about the admin over there trying to work along with them on reducing the dunking. Yet that same admin is in another thread on hexbear assuring people that they are certainly not trying to reduce dunking in other servers, and saying basically "go for it".
Pretty silly. Glad my server has defed from the shitbirds.
Seems really fishy to me. TheDude defederated from Lemmygrad with zero community input, based on his own personal convictions. Now the admin team agrees to let in a rabid userbase of tankies, imaqtpie calls them a "valuable asset" in response to calls for defederation, and they actively get in the way of our attempts to organize a discussion/vote to defederate. Things feel different and not in a good way.
Unfortunately
Heh, good riddance. They’re SUPER fucking annoying, and I’ve seen pretty much zero examples of their userbase contributing in a meaningfully positive way to discussions on any instance, including their own.
All I ever get from their instance are posts about them complaining about other instances complaining about them. Like damn, take a hint you guys.
I have met about 3 normal reasonable people there, everyone else I've seen just barges in to every conversation and says meaningless annoying nonsense.
Am I reading this right that Hexbear is defederating with sh.itjust.works?
I’m pleased to hear the good news.
Lol this is the second time in a month they've done the "you can't fire me I quit" thing
and it won't be the last :(
Fucking lmao. Good riddance. This is at least the second time they've bailed before their shitty deeds can get them kicked out.
really doesn't take much.
it's so disheartening, like legitimately, how are these guys gonna cancel capitalism and destroy the west when they need to flee back to their safespace on the fucking internet.
"Wh-what do you mean people are shitty to us when we're shitty to them?? This is [insert irrelevant accusation of bigotry here]! Critical support for Comrade Xi's Concentration Camps!"
People who are so eager to dish it often can't take it. Even in milder forms than the 4chan-esque trolling Hexbears use, like the horrible personal attack that is [checks notes] disputing that concentration camps are good.
they already got booted from most instances I use
I only clicked on a few of their posts. One was literally a bunch of people saying Biden is a pussy for not drone striking 80k people at burning man. For people who really eschew civility like that they seem really sensitive in this post.
Delicate internet bullies.
Darvo.
Lol, I knew they'd run away like the buncha pussies they are. Glad they aren't going to show up en mass anymore and derail threads with their bitching.
I don't know how someone posts something that aggressively asshole-ish and then doesn't understand why everyone defederates them.
It doesn't kill to be at least slightly polite to people.
FYI, these super wide screenshots of text make it difficult to read on small/narrow screens (anyone using lemmy on their phone?)
Yeah impossible to read on jerboah - doesn't allow pic zoom (on my phone anyway)
Even if there is an option to zoom, it’s difficult because to read the text you have to scroll sideways in small steps for each line
Adios 👋 you will not be missed
They lasted only a couple of days. We outlasted them. o7
Yay! I was worried they would begin to discover smaller communities and spread outside of just their communities.
Looks like they’re still federated with us. Is the instance list automatically updated?
I don't think they're federated with blahaj.zone and pawb.social but they are still on the list. That said, I'm pretty sure the pawb.social defederation was on our end and not on hexbear's, so that might be why it's still there. I was almost sure hexbear and blahaj.zone both defederated from each other though.
Lot of $20 words in there mixing with chud.
A side note, but I hate how reactionary is bad. You're supposed to react to new situations and information.
I think the context here is along the lines of Newton's "for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction." Meaning reactionaries are people who oppose new things and want stuff to go back to "the way things were" before that new thing came along. Probably the opposite of what you mean by "reacting to new situations and information."
Reactionary means always being against what your opponents support.
Like conservatives opposing anything liberals support for example. Not because they think the policy is bad per se, but because they believe they must oppose liberals no matter what.
