My first time experience here had been very politically charged and I asked about it in askLemmy and I was told to immediately block you people in the options I was given
I had the opportunity to browse around and found out that you folk were decent and weren’t as awful as told in that post I made
How do you view .world and by extension other instances that defederate (and view negatively) towards you?
The biggest divide between Hexbear and the instances hostile towards Hexbear (not all instances are hostile to Hexbear, despite what many try to claim) is analysis of Imperialism. Hexbear largely agrees with Lenin when he analyzed how Capitalism eventually evolves into a form of international exploitation in the book Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism. Not everyone here is a Marxist, many are Anarchists, Syndicalists, or other forms of Leftist, but this central critique of Imperialism forms the basis of Hexbear’s overall foreign policy. There are other divides, of course, such as Hexbear’s unapologetic support for trans rights, veganism, opposition of the settler-colonial genocide in Palestine, and more, but the Imperialist critique is the biggest divide.
How do I view Lemmy.world? Fairly negatively. The Admins have admitted open hostility towards Marxism, and censor comments and posts that point to the Democrats being complicit in the genocide of Palestine. In addition, many users have been guilty of bigotry, and open transphobia I report seems to stay up as long as it’s directed towards Leftists.
Overall, if you’re chill, you’ll be fine here. Really, despite the fearmongering on other instances, my time on Hexbear is the most enjoyable. The News thread is informative, the general thread is fun to chill out in, the gaming comm is great for talking about Fallout: New Vegas (my hyperfixation, lol), and more. The people here are the friendliest on the Fediverse if you’re a Leftist, and the scariest if you’re a bigot.
Hope that about does it!
Fallout: New Vegas (my hyperfixation, lol)
Makes sense, 50% of hb is trans or questioning
We’ll get you, eventually. Fallout NV is just the beginning.
Jk it’s your journey and I was just memeing about FNV being THE Trans videogame.
I ran out of it on the Lemmy.world version of this post
Plus the mod banned me from the comm for a week for saying questioning trans users identities is transphobic by calling that “aggressively intentional misinterpretation.” Meanwhile open transphobia is left up and users unpunished. It is the oned calling out transphobia that are banned.
cowbee you are legitimately the goat, you are our patient bridge to those willing to learn
