My first months on Lemmy were spent on Lemmy.world, which was the biggest instance at the time. I had no experience with Hexbear because .world had defederated that instance. I sometimes saw it being described as a “tankie” instance, but it was nothing specific.
After I moved to .zip, I came across !games@hexbear.net, which seemed to be free from anything overtly political and reminded me of r/Gamingcirclejerk, so I subscribed to it and occasionally made comments related to gaming.
Today I made multiple comments to a post about an article on the STALKER game developers having removed the Soviet symbols and the Russian audio in the remastered edition of the game. I would argue that in the thread, there were no comments from me that could be construed by a reasonable person as defensive of Nazism, fascism, or even hinting at it. For example, in one of the comments, I linked a Ukrainian law that prohibits the use of Nazi symbols, though I highly advise looking through all my ten comments as to avoid any misunderstanding or false impressions.
Conversely, one comment posted by another user dismissed Holodomor as Nazi propaganda, which I reported, but a moderator of that community just ended up calling me out for that and taking no action, followed by them banning me.
The thread containing all of my untouched posts is still available via lemmy.zip. My comments are also available for viewing via my user page. They are not available on hexbear due to the ban.
Hahahaha what a whiny little dweeb! Imagine crying to dot world about this lmao
I banned them! I’m the one who called them a fascist sympathizer!
It’s funny because @Rose@lemmy.zip isn’t actually banned from hexbear overall, just the game comm.
So if they think the mod decision was somehow wrong, they can come here and file a grievance with one of the admins.
Like me
I hope they organize a brigade from that thread and come try to argue with me!
God forbid like three or four brave souls decide to go on an expedition here to try and win a political victory over us on!
I’ll let them stand on their soap box and see how many comments it takes for them to start saying slurs
Honestly the actual socialist states, the Scandinavian ones. Tend to be some of the happiest and highest rated on the planet. Consistently even. Generally the authoritarian ones regardless of where they pretend to be economically are often the worst.
Lol, the dumbest people are against us
Happiness inquiry: “Can you imagine a future where you are happier than you are right now?”
Scandis: “No. I cannot be happier than I am right now, despite being miserable, since happiness is an illusion.”
Libs: “This means they’re the happiest people in the world!”
I think this is a microcosm of why so many people who grow up under capitalism and hear nothing but “capitalism is the best system possible” become misanthropic and antinatalist.
Conversely, one comment posted by another user dismissed Holodomor as Nazi propaganda, which I reported, but a moderator of that community just ended up calling me out for that and taking no action, followed by them banning me.
Based mod alert.
I am asking for just one “hexbear bad!!!” thread that wasn’t written by a user who was caught spouting fascist apologia
