Can you name these instances? For research purposes.
Hexbear - tankie bullshit.
Oh hey it's the guy that goes into threads and complains about le tankies without even talking about the post. Touch grass loser.
It’s so hard for you hexbears since you federated and met people who disagree with you.
Someone asked for an example. I gave one. Seems fairly on topic to me.
Classic liberal lack of self awareness. You spent all your time in the reddit echo chamber and the first thing you do after stepping out is whining about "le tankies". lmao.
You seem to be the one that doesn't like hearing from people who disagree with you if you're looking for ways to ingore entire instances based on your hurt feelings.
Hexbears are just trolls. They generally aren't coming into threads to have real discussions (and when they make attempts at it they often seem confused about their own stated ideology) - the unstated goal is to be disruptive to deny "shit libs" a platform.
Oh wow, that’s some crazy stuff
Oh no.
Why not both?
I’m itching so hard to block both.
If you hate lemmygrad then I have bad news for you buddy. The guy who wrote the lemmy software is the same guy who runs lemmygrad. All of lemmy is "tankie bullshit". I suggest you go back to reddit to be safe from us.
TIL that open source software is inextricably tied to it's creators political beliefs..
Sorry bud, but despite tankies on this site being really fucking loud and argumentative, you're drastically outnumbered by newer members who have no relation to lemmygrad or other tanky instances.
No fediverse social media site "belongs" to it's creator or their beliefs, that's literally the whole point. If you want a site where it's creators are able to enforce their beliefs on their users, maybe you should go back to traditional social media
Unless their politics is embedded in the software (it isn’t) I’m perfectly able to separate the utility of said software from the views of the creators.
I mean, there is a hard coded word filter which doesn't allow you to use the scientifically correct term for a female dog. Which is pretty wild.
This actually hasn't been true for several patches now. The slur filter is no longer hard-coded, but instead is customizable on an instance-to-instance basis. This change sure doesn't stop people from complaining about the (nonexistent) "hard-coded slur filter" though!
Hexbear is far more obnoxious than lemmygrad imo. At least lemmygrad doesn't turn every thread into a middle school "#random" message board by filling it with cringe jpeg emojis.
Exactly. Hexbears posting culture diverged off into its own Darwinian branch and getting back to wider federation has been a bit of a wake up call for both camps.
