I'm sorry for linking to a mod of another instance
(hexbear.net)
I know I'm not in trouble, but I do feel bad that I'm probably the reason blahaj.zone will defederate with hexbear. I just thought they had an insane take on what hexbear was and posted it in the_dunk_tank. I included a link because I am not a 
but also I am a and so are all of you and I'm sorry for that as well.
I’ve been arguing with a user on .world about how hexbear is not transphobic and the pronouns aren’t “blatant mockery of trans people”. When I told them they were wrong, they said hexbear is “typical online terrorists”, putting the pronouns then going around posting “racist, bigoted” stuff. I’m waiting for proof of such posts. 😋
I keep hearing the "racist bigoted" line and I just don't get it. Hexbear is the most strict online community I've been in when it comes to that sort of thing. Our users are open and welcoming, our mods are lethal.
Some of them a lying. Some of them think "anglos" or
are racism against whitey. I'm surprised we haven't had our burning flag emojis as evidence of anti-Swiss 
bigotry or whatever.
I think it is just the
that upsets them so much.
Libs have very thin skin after all, easy to scratch.
it's literally just because we call white people crackers lol
that's so funny
Yea, I’m not sure where it’s coming from because I haven’t seen it. I also linked to the Hexbear code of conduct and highlighted the first two rules.
Tbh, I was not sure about Hexbear when federation started, but I never got the impression that anyone was bigoted or racist. Like there’s literally all the pride hexbear icons, right?
I feel like these comments are either intentionally malicious or intentionally ignorant assumptions.
We love our LGBTQ+ comrades over here!
I saw that (gay?) cat on Place! Where’s it from?
I honestly don't know, but you might be able to ask the person who requested it here https://hexbear.net/post/344477
Sorry to off-topic interject here, but due to the flurry of whatever you posted in your comment, I figured it might be an ok place to ask.
I’ve been interacting with hexbear a decent amount since y’all federated, and the images don’t work on my app (for example whatever you posted above came through for me as a series of partial image slices stacked on top of each other, and in-line gifs/images make the comment they are in completely unreadable).
Do any of you use apps/pwas (I know hexbear was here before they really existed, so might be a long shot), and if so, which ones actually display hexbear content properly?
they render okay on both jerboa and liftoff for me, though still have issues scaling emotes atm
Sorry, I don't use an app. I just use the Firefox app feature of making a website into a dedicated app.
Do other instances display images properly? I think the way our emotes are supposed to work like inline images do across lemmy, but I might be wrong.
I think it's the inverse of conservatives who believe they aren't racist while doing, saying, and believing racist things. They were provided a liberal (in the classical ideological sense) education that told them racism is bad but didn't delve too deeply into self criticism. So now conservatives and liberals know racism is bad, but not really how to understand or identify it. So you get conservatives who steadfastly believe they aren't racist because they don't think they're bad, and liberals who label things they don't like as racist because it's one of the most bad things they can think of.
I agree, it seems like a lot of liberals have the attitude of "I can't be racist, because I'm not
But they still have the attitude that racism is an individual problem, "A few bad apples" rather than a systemic one. So when they see individuals here doing
they conclude that those people must be racist against whites.
It's possible they're one of those vaush-brained clowns who genuinely believe that "anti-white racism" is a real problem, and they saw one of us making a joke about "crackers" or whatever lol
our userbase is like 1/3 trans
