I'm getting a little tired of Hexbear shitting on the Burning Man situation. (hexbear.net)

Pyramid Lake is now a fully autonomous collective in Nevada. Hexbear users are sitting in their nice, air-conditioned, bedrooms while actual workers are out there building community support during a disaster. They are pooling resources, rationing, and helping one another survive. I thought the point was to have support, albeit critical, for AES, but I guess not. Burning Man is closer to Marx's ideal socialist state than China ever will be.

Can we just defederate from them already? What is the point in continuing to exist with people who actively spew hatred and misinformation about our comrades in Nevada?

the [none/use name] in that username is one of the pronouns you can use on hexbear. it's generally nice to try and respect people's requests and how they identify themselves. that being said, bro isn't the most egregious thing to call someone, but now that you know you can see them in hexbear and other instances usernames and know what they mean :)
