Hexbear houses some of the worst people I have ever experienced on Lemmy. Do not go there unless you are truly toxic.
Strong disagreement there. Hexbear users frequently brush against liberals and anti-Communists, but as an actual space it's not toxic at all, in my experience. If you consider yourself a Marxist or Anarchist, you'll probably fit in well, if not then you won't, simple as that.
The real thing is that lemm.ee has very minimal defederation, but Hexbear uses defederation quite deliberately to curate a safe space for marginalized comrades, and doesn't tolerate liberalism, so it isn't a replacement for lemm.ee outright, just a good option.
This you?

I think they were talking about people like that, people like you.
It looks like he was calling out racism. Do you think mods can't be racist?
Criticism of the CCP alone is not racist, reporting it as racism is report abuse.
Americans often launder their racism as political critique. Hexbears are critical of the CCP themselves and they can tell the difference.
It wasn't criticism of the CPC alone. This was the comment:
The majority of the comment is baseless chauvanism of Chinese people themselves, not their government, such as when they say that the "national sport is to harrass other nations" or that "they eat fake tofu, fake meat, etc." There were many other comments on that thread that weren't thinly veiled racism, but still attacked the CPC, which I didn't report, I reported this person specifically because the comment uses "criticism of the CPC" as a veil for racism. Even if the mods disagreed, reporting three such comments from the same person is not report abuse.
If you scroll to the bottom of my modlog, you can sse that I got banned from playstation@lemmy.zip for "racism." What happened, was the moderator made a rant about DEI in video games, and I called them out on it. They threw a tantrum, banned me, then deleted their account, leaving playstation@lemmy.zip unmoderated and dead.
The point is, don't trust the modlog too much, if no context is linked. Comment removals are trustworthy, ban reasons need more investigation if they aren't accompanied by examples. In this case, I'd say the moderators actually outted themselves by punishing me for reporting content that can absolutely be seen as racist, even if they disagreed. They could have ignored the reports, but chose to say that it's a bannable offense to report this content.
