Hi all, it’s whitepwrfan69, your lovely admin here at lemmy.balls. The mod team and I have been hard at work making sure that this place is fun and pleasant experience for all the users here. After days of discussion, looking through literal petabytes of data, we’ve decided the best course of action is to defederate from Hexbear. Although we very much believe in free speech, there are some pretty obvious dangers coming from federation with them. Let me list the top examples that me and the mod team fleshed out.

    I joined lemmy.balls to expose myself to unbiased good faith opinions and every time I engage with hexbear people I get called a shill for empire and they post images of a pig defecating, I am not even sure what it is supposed to mean. It is a sad state of affairs that they are one of the largest instances on lemmy, they are poisoning the well with their authoritarian apologia. If it wasn’t for (I don’t know what to put here actually…) I would just go back to reddit.

    I just don’t understand tankies. They worship authoritarian dictators like Lenin, Marx, and Stalin, who each on their own, have killed more people than Hitler.

    Like I get it, socialism sounds good in theory but it has never worked in the real world. I mean I’m as far left as they come but even I can see that if you try to do socialism, it always ends up becoming fascism, just by a different name. Real socialism is the Nordic model and we should be striving for that, I think. It’s a tried and true method that obviously works. I tried talking about what Norway and Sweden are doing to one of those hexbear users and they just typed a wall of text about some dumb made up shit about the “global south”, whatever that is. I’ve never heard of that term until I talked with them and I’ve taken several econ and political science classes at school.

    Anyway, I think it’s best we defed from them so we can focus on more important things like getting Kamala elected.

    It’s almost as if Hexbear was full of Russian bots all along and now logic and reason can return to our community. I welcome all opinions here, except tankie opinions. I don’t consider tankies human.

    One of these dastardly hexbears put a delicious pie on the windowsill. As the pungent aroma of delicious rhubarb pie reached my nostrils I began hovering towards the window, like any good liberal. But alas the hexbears was prepared with a big funny wooden mallet and proceeded to beat me until I saw stars.

    That hexbear’s name? Joseph Putin.

    Free speech is very important to me, so I appreciate the hesitation you showed before preemptively defederating from those commies

      Hexbear banned me because they were constantly policing my language

      Yes I called someone a very serious racial slur and made an analogy about Trump fellating Putin to demean both of them but I don’t see why that’s relevant

    I went over there one time and it’s just as bad as people say. It’s just dumb college kids being brainwashed by Ruzzian bots. I actually feel bad for them.

    A Hexbear once told me that Pol Pot did nothing wrong and everyone who wears glasses deserves to die, and a bunch of other Hexbears agreed.

    I don’t understand why those redfash tankies won’t even allow us the freedom to use slurs online. Haven’t they heard of freedom of speech?

    Good. I’m as liberal as they come but those people are removed. The way they praise the CCP and deny the Ughyr genocide makes me pretty sure they’re kids who had too much Tiktok. They even support Russia because they think it’s still the Soviet Union!

      Sorry sweaty, Russia is as commie as it gets really, it’s a dictatorship that hates gays and Jews, and their supreme leader Putler is currently trying to invade Europe to recreate the USSR. It ticks all the communist check boxes. I’m disgusted to even say that, but the Hexfash are correct this time.

    My great grandfather fought against those uncivilized commies!

    They destroyed our homes, our beautiful fatherland, they took away my family memorabilia!!!

    Now is all gone.

    Those red fash should be… defederation is the least we can do.

    God bless my great grandpa, best Munich electrician.

      My home country was invaded the previous century by rabid hordes of orcs… I mean Ruzzians. The literal foundational myth of my country is independence from a totally historically continuous Russia, from the Russian Empire to Soviet Russia and now we’re escalating weaponry against modern Russia as any good european superior race member would do. If you deny my foundational myth you’re literally hitler, whom I actually don’t mind as much as the red fash hordes from the east. We need to arm the local fascists to fight the fascism from Ruzzians that wants to conquer my beautiful and flawless home country.

      If only my home country would have been a monarchy or a liberal democracy instead, I’m sure that way we could be more leftist by participating in unequal exchange and exploitation of the third world…

    A hexbear user’s entire existance is in bad faith. When I try to tell them to stop trolling, or to stop stanning authoritarian regimes, they send me a picture of a pig pooping on it’s balls.
