A problem easily solved by having mandatory pronoun tag. Hexbear stays winnning.

You can combine these, nothing reveals reactionaries more reliably than being shown a pronoun tag, they immediately start frothing.
Announce mandatory pronoun tags
Record the users who downvote the announcement
Ban them
Enters a room full of trans people
Misgenders everyone
Well actually male is the default so
is this solidarity?
Removing criticism of transphobia because "the evil hexbears" is fucking wild.
Placing anticommunism above transphobia on your priorities list guarantees a slide into fascism. Once you start covering up and defending bigotry as long as the bigots are anticommunists you give the perfect cover for fascists to fuck around in your space. By the time a server owner realises that they've made everyone non-fascist leave (or conform to the culture they create thus becoming part of them) they end up just accepting it because doing anything about it would mean killing the entire community population. Because the narcissistic power of being community owner comes first.
they’re prioritizing anti-leftism over transphobia on an instance literally named after a transgender shark lmfao
What kind of supposedly trans-friendly space has a bunch of people defending defaulting to male and getting upvoted? That shit would get dogpiled and banned here. It's really basic stuff, like on top of being misgendering it's also sexist. What is this, the 1800's? Simone de Beauvoir was criticizing it in the 40's.
"I don't like politics" people are actually the devil incarnate
i'm not really into politics, but [the most bigoted thing ever posted online]
Someone in there is positing that hexbear users are upvoting that post.
I mean, I guess we could make accounts on other servers, but we're defederated so that's kind of a hassle lol
Are you now, or have you ever been, a member of Hexbear.net?
Is the hexbear in the room with us right now
trans people should come here, especially to traa and other lgbt spaces here. even if they arent hard left we'd treat them better.
Yeah, not surprised by this. Harboring chasers and kicking out trans communists is a great way to make your community a shithole of reactionary jerks.
“i made my space ‘safe’ for anti-communists and now it’s mostly reactionaries! how could the left do this to me?!”
no more half measures walter
Yeah Ada does genuinely seem to have good intentions but she's like letting a lot of idk, kind of scummy people fester in the instance, like i made a post about native blahaj users being chasery at me on there and to her credit Ada found it and DMed me about it, but the user who came at me really aggressively and accused me of being chaserphobic (in reply to me telling a cishet male chaser I would be uncomfortable with being in a relationship with anyone who talked about trans people the way they did) only had their comment removed with a request to edit it to remove the bit where they called me chaserphobic, they didn't even get banned from the comm.
(In regards to the other chaser, I suggested that since they were seemingly a child they'd just get a stern talking to in DMs and a warning and Ada agreed to that)
chaserphobic
this is the hugest self-own I’ve seen. you run an instance for trans people you goddamn fucking prick
