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.
Heh, good riddance. Theyβre SUPER fucking annoying, and Iβve seen pretty much zero examples of their userbase contributing in a meaningfully positive way to discussions on any instance, including their own.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
