hello again (hexbear.net)
submitted 4 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) by DylanMc6@hexbear.net to c/main@hexbear.net
 

i just got permanently banned from reddit because of a comment i posted about jeff bezos (which reddit may have viewed as a 'violent threat') on a subreddit (or i've been posting a bit too fast). the site said "check your inbox", but i DIDN'T see a message. i have some suspicions that i may have been banned for no reason whatsoever - i've just submitted a ban appeal, and i expect a response from them soon.

until then, i'm gonna be posting on this site. NO guarantees that i'll be back on reddit - the day i get unbanned will be the day half-life 3 gets released (that or the day there's peace between ukraine and russia or palestine and israel). seriously!

UPDATE: reddit looked at my appeal and said 'i DON'T know, you still threatened violence, so you're still banned' - reddit should realize that the first amendment (which gives people the freedoms of speech, of press and of religion, and to assemble peacefully and to redress grievances) allows me to say that 'jeff bezos should see a gill o' teen' - i would submit an appeal, but reddit says i have to submit one or two appeals a day, so i guess i'm stuck here now. seriously!

Howdy!! kirby-wave

this particular lemmy instance started because our original subreddit was banned for posting too hard about how John Brown was right. So most people aren’t going to like Reddit to start with.

Crossing my fingers HL3 gets announced soon. Hope to see you around!

[–] DylanMc6@hexbear.net 12 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

i think john brown (among other people) did the right thing in freeing people from their chains. seriously!

[–] Commie_Chameleon@hexbear.net 8 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Then I think you’ll fit right in!! JB-shining-aggro Lots of action in the pinned threads on our home page. We’ve got a gaming comm (subreddit equivalent if you’re unfamiliar) since it sounds like you’re into that. Oh and if you type a colon and then start typing a word you’ll see our emoji picker. There’s a ton of them snom

Yeah, it was about some podcast.

Citations Needed I think

[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 11 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Podcast? What do you mean podcast?

[–] HarryLime@hexbear.net 14 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Fuck reddit lol congrats on your ban

[–] DylanMc6@hexbear.net 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

do you have any reason why you said that?

[–] HarryLime@hexbear.net 12 points 4 weeks ago

I'm not sure I know how to answer that

[–] JustSo@hexbear.net 10 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Welcome. Idk why you'd even want to go back to reddit, but I can understand lodging an appeal just for the sake of it.

[–] DylanMc6@hexbear.net 4 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

i usually go to this site whenever i get banned from reddit, but since i got permanently banned from that site, i'm gonna using this site a bit more (that and bluesky and such). that said, i've submitted a couple appeals to the site. seriously!

[–] Bob_Odenkirk@hexbear.net 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Can’t you just make a new account?

[–] DylanMc6@hexbear.net 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

i'm a bit worried that reddit would see that as ban evasion and ban me for that. seriously!

[–] Bob_Odenkirk@hexbear.net 2 points 3 weeks ago

You’re already banned, dummy.

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 7 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

do you have any reason why you said that?

[–] DylanMc6@hexbear.net 3 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

again, i just wanna ask if you can explain. seriously!

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 4 points 4 weeks ago

What are you looking for having explained?

Okay, if you're serious we exist cause of a subreddit that was the nest of leftist activity that made reddit uncomfortable and then when r/thedonald got banned they wanted to show an even hand regsrding fascism and anti fascism so rhey deleted that board for 'promoting violence' with the reason cited being people saying John Brown did nothing wrong. Six years later or so. Here we are. We dont like reddit for thar and because its a den of debatelord liberals and misogynist gamers

[–] DylanMc6@hexbear.net 2 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (2 children)

bourgeois liberals or proletarian liberals (as in leftists who support liberal democracy, or the values of liberalism (ie: liberal socialism) or both)?

[–] TreadOnMe@hexbear.net 6 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

The values of liberalism and socialism are incompatible, as they are completely different frameworks of thinking. Anyone who claims to be a 'liberal socialist' understands neither liberalism or socialism.

[–] Bob_Odenkirk@hexbear.net 4 points 4 weeks ago

liberal socialism

[–] DylanMc6@hexbear.net 2 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

is hexbear like animal farm (if napoleon DIDN'T take over)?

[–] TreadOnMe@hexbear.net 8 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

No. Orwell was a snitch and at best a social fascist pretending towards socialism.

[–] DylanMc6@hexbear.net 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

is there any reason why you think social democracy is 'social fascism' (because social democracy and democratic socialism are more 'socialism-lite')?

[–] TreadOnMe@hexbear.net 6 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (1 children)

If it exists within a bourgeois democracy, it is inherently anti-democratic. If it exists to soothe the class conflict and promote class collaboration and nationalism (but with national profit sharing) as the solution to that problem it is fascist.

They aren't 'socialism-lite' because they simply aren't socialism. They are just imperialists who understand that you have to maintain a labor aristocracy for national stability.

[–] DylanMc6@hexbear.net 0 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

would you consider de leonism as an alternative to social democracy?

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 2 points 3 weeks ago

Syndicalism is not a functional ideology because it has no way to take power. There is no such thing as peacefully transferring from capitalism to socialism while the capitalist world order remains.

[–] TreadOnMe@hexbear.net 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

Did it work? Or was it immediately crushed without even getting to form any kind of resistance to capitalist dominance, however flawed?

[–] DylanMc6@hexbear.net 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

i forgot why you asked that - i assume you're talking about the appeal. again, when i submitted my first appeal yesterday, reddit's like 'well, you threatened violence, so you still got banned' - my latest appeal probably referenced that. i really hope i get a response from them soon. seriously!

[–] TreadOnMe@hexbear.net 1 points 3 weeks ago

Lol no, I am talking about Syndicalism. I could give less of a shit about reddit.

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I rarely post this, but I have now had reason to twice in 24 hours: https://redsails.org/jones-on-animal-farm/

Animal Farm specifically is a really gross book, though I'm totally not putting anything on you for that. It's something that gets pushed on everyone in the anglophone world and many other places besides.

[–] DylanMc6@hexbear.net 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Can you ask a more specific question? The link explains Animal Farm being gross and it was my assumption that the book being pushed heavily in neoliberal education is self-explanatory.

[–] DylanMc6@hexbear.net 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

is it because of the talking pigs - later in the novel, napoleon becomes very very anthropomorphic

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

No, I mean politically gross. Orwell hates poor people. Look at the thing I linked instead of guessing.
