Do you think these are reasonable responses to the things I'm saying?

[-] Pluto@hexbear.net 6 points 8 months ago

Yes. You're literally speaking for the 26k users on Hexbear.

Nobody really thinks that, like a MAGA communist might say, Trump is somehow "less dangerous" or whatever. Or "at least he's honest" or "reveals the dreck of U.S. imperialism."

He's done more to radicalize people to the ultra-right than most U.S. Presidents.

[-] Maoo@hexbear.net 36 points 8 months ago

The idea that Trump was a less competent imperialist is very popular here. You are straw manning this to mean, "every person who has every registered an account here agrees with me". Do you think this is a reasonable way to approach what I've disagreed with you about?

Can you state, in your own words, what points I've made?

[-] Pluto@hexbear.net 3 points 8 months ago

Another thing:

I'm asking you to ask 26k users on Hexbear what they think and do some sort of poll before acting like your opinion or viewpoint is the most popular.

[-] Maoo@hexbear.net 26 points 8 months ago

Yes, which would be a very silly thing to do and is premised on straw manning what I said. I already directly responded to this, too.

"The idea that Trump was a less competent imperialist is very popular here."

You don't know that.

Ask the 26k people on Hexbear what they think, each one, or don't bother trying to convince me.

Did you notice that you didn't answer my question?

[-] Pluto@hexbear.net 2 points 8 months ago

Did you notice that I said I wasn't going to reply after you tried to pull that trick?

[-] Maoo@hexbear.net 20 points 8 months ago
[-] Pluto@hexbear.net 1 points 8 months ago

Yes, there was.

"Can you state, in your own words, what points I've made?"

Okay, you know what? If you're going to keep editing your comments like this after I reply in order to make it look like I'm not answering your other points then, no, I'm not going to bother.

Stop adding things to your comments like that.

[-] Maoo@hexbear.net 26 points 8 months ago

I didn't edit my comment... I think that's verifiable in Lemmy's metadata and edit status at least used to show up on the web interface before I began using native mobile clients.

26k users lmao. 26k accounts, of which 90% are dead or banned, and the remaining 10% include tons of alts and duplicates. There's probably like 2000 active users on this site.

[-] Egon@hexbear.net 7 points 8 months ago

I gotta know, how many bans do you have under your belt?

[-] silent_water@hexbear.net 4 points 8 months ago
[-] Egon@hexbear.net 2 points 8 months ago

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
