Eh, there are some users there that are truly awful, and the head admin is pretty bad for harboring them, but there are also good comrades there and decent content.

[–] goferking0@hexbear.net 11 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I know, but they're really being awful today.

I still find it ironic they banned brain in a box for ragebait but not any of the other ones doing even worse ragebait

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 10 points 2 weeks ago

There's absolutely selective tolerance going on. If it isn't corrected, this will probably die down for a bit then pop up again in a month or two.

Brain was 100% right. I looked at that thread during my lunch today and db0 was on a tear being an even worse power tripping mod than almost any example I've ever seen in their own power tripping bastards comm.

It's weird how excited they get when it's people getting banned for being assholes, and wild only the ones pointing out op did the exact same thing got locked almost instantly

[–] Johnny_Arson@hexbear.net 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah that and the fact that if we defederate it will be harder to push back against the obvious bullshit lies they peddle about hexbear. I had to stay out of that thread because I was a work and there was no way if I started replying I wasn't going to get banned for some petty bullshit. Fuck the admin and every Nazi apologist allowed to continue to post on that platform. Spineless fucking worms.

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The sooner the mods and admins can separate criticism of AES from Nazi apologia the better.

There's a user over there that's "anti deutsche" and openly zionist now, I expect absolutely nothing from their admins/mods.

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The slim bit of hope I have is for their internal contradictions to force change for the better. There are some good users there and I like talking to them, and I have hope that this improves over time. Then again, I tend to be optimistic, perhaps to a fault sometimes.

[–] Johnny_Arson@hexbear.net 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I agree that not all their users suck but that thread now that I read through it all shows the bad probably outweigh the good and there comes a point when I am conflicted on engaging with them. The Debs guy is the worst. Just constant lying and extreme bad faith. Also db0 using autism as a shield for allowing that shit is very tiring as an ND person myself. I wish I shared your optimism but if they keep banning people for pointing that out like they do it's only going to get worse. The funniest part is it won't stop all the even worse subs from calling them tankies for the occasional okay take.

Not to bat too hard for them, but not everyone participates in those threads. That thread was awful, yes, but isn't representative of everyone. There are some good users there, either they will grow in number or likely leave for here.

[–] Johnny_Arson@hexbear.net 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You may be right. I would love to see how many people up voting the hexbear posts were db0 users.

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 6 points 2 weeks ago

Yep, there's also the lurkers that don't want to add to the drama.
