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.
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
reminded me of r/Gamingcirclejerk
literally the same fucking mods (or close enough) that run gcj run our games comm, what a clown. @Rose@lemmy.zip every joke on gcj besides the others from your fellow hapless libs went over your head, and you should be ashamed for that.
eat shit fascist.
Also if you’re looking at this thread, the reason that the comment that called you out for spreading the Holodomor myth and called the Holodomor nazi propaganda is because nazis literally came up with the narrative of the Holodomor as a genocide so they could rehabilitate the image of Eastern European nazis as freedom fighters. You know, Eastern European nazis like… Yaroslav Hunka of the SS 1st Galician who got a standing ovation in Canadian Parliament for being a Ukrainian hero?
yeah when I read those crocodile tears about the uncritical repetition of propaganda was when I added the last bit. @Rose@lemmy.zip I hope you literally eat some shit, you genocide revisionist
the liberal got scratched, idk
@Rose@lemmy.zip tell me your reddit username so I can ban you on gcj lmao, the entire modteam of gcj is marxist-leninist and holds the exact same opinions you will see on hexbear.
Wait which mods in the games comm are gcj mods? I am a mod on gcj, I didn’t know any of the others were here though lmao.
I was thinking of you lol, no other specifics
and I get you’re not a c/games mod, but in general your takes are hexbear-centrist so they may as well be party line lol
I wonder who is the Hexbear-Left? the one true leftist in this site surely
