Sounds like they unified against you fairly well.

In light of this compelling new evidence, I'm updating my hypothesis from "need for attention" to "humiliation fetish".

[-] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 29 points 8 months ago

Seems about right.

This is so tedious

You, having posting incendiary divisive shit on purpose and pretending to be shocked at the response it got:

[-] AlpineSteakHouse@hexbear.net 39 points 8 months ago

Thanks for single handily crashing the housing market by allowing millions of hexbear users to live rent free in your head.

That was the version revised to be less racist, not the initial post

[-] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 25 points 8 months ago

I'm at least pleasantly surprised they actually tried to do the bare minimum of editing it to be less racist.

Credit where it's due and all that

Calling out the smuglord emoji doesn't diminish what a smuglord you are.

Some people simply cannot handle being told they're wrong

[-] Doubledee@hexbear.net 34 points 8 months ago

Well it works for us on Hexbear. That's actually what I like about it, it's a nice big tent over there. Some of our greatest posters are anarchists, they were indispensable on the frontline of the posting wars that followed federation. rat-salute

Looking forward to your next meme about how bed time is Fascism.

[-] naevaTheRat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 32 points 8 months ago

Hey so I think you're pretty rad person who's obviously investing a lot of effort in setting up cool communities and making tools to keep them safe.

I also think you got unfairly dogpiled in a pretty frustrating way.

But further, it seemed to me you were not trying to de-escalate there. I know the hexbear dogpile can be a bit ridiculous (honestly that place confuses me, I see both the absolute sanest and most unhinged posts coming out of hexbear users) but at this point you are definitely feeding the trolls.

I get that this might be fun for you, but it does use up a lot of bandwidth in the community and I worry it harms the quality of conversations we might be able to have in the future.

Once again I want to be clear that this remark comes from a place of respect, you obviously care about fostering online community and hence this last couple of days is confusing to me.

i rolled my eyes at the first thread and didnt open but i wanted to leave a comment here so you have more evidence when u write about your struggle in the future

[-] Utter_Karate@hexbear.net 29 points 8 months ago

I don't get it. Not saying that in a sarcastic way, I literally do not understand if this meme is for or against leftist/anarchist unity. Maybe I'm just old?

Slow down there, pardner. You're gonna give your dick rugburn if you keep at it so long.

I'm not sure I really agree with your first point, I think finding a way to find allys in all leftists would be worth it, even if it has a dark history. Things can be better.

But holy shit their reaction was intense. And the idea that their arguments were in defense of left unity was pretty silly... 99% of it was just "anarchists wrong and evil", and there is wild amounts of sectarianism going on just within hexbear that I'm sure lent energy to this.

I respect how you reacted under pressure. I really respect any admin of a website that can show that much restraint when dealing with personal attacks and people you explicitly disagree with.

But yeah the lethality of leftist infighting is maybe a topic that deserves more delicate conversations than memes.

anarchists wrong and evil

not only is that not what we said, but db0 actually said that about us
