Hello as you’ve read from the title I’m a Palestinian who lives currently in the occupied territories of Palestine known as the West Bank ,my friend is a moderator here and he told me I should make a post introducing myself ,I once looked up “for Reddit but for leftists” and this is the site that I found ,anyways I personally love reading Manga ,Books,and Playing Chess

I am a Marxist Leninist ,can you believe the username Mohammed is not taken ? ,my friend told me that this space was too “white” but I didn’t think he was that right

Anyways Nice to meet you all

We also have a more mixed demographics over at the news megathread (Bulletin and News Discussions, pinned at the top) but that’s only if you’re interested in international geopolitics as that’s what most of the discussions there are about.

Ofc I am interested in those things ,I’m just sick of seeing the comments of reactionaries

Glad this exists

[-] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 31 points 8 months ago

The reactionaries on the lemmyverse will often show up to do single drive-by comments here on Hexbear, but they never do it in the news mega because they fear our power and effortposting

What type of reactionaries are they exactly?

[-] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 28 points 8 months ago

Mostly standard NATO-loving liberals, because we've defederated from the explicitly fascist lemmy instances, but there are still assholes who make accounts to try to "troll", but it always just comes across as really sweaty and sad

FUCK NATO

IN JAHANAM INSHAALLAH

HOW ARE THEY HERE

Hexbear is a Lemmy instance. Lemmy is a federated and open-source alternative to Reddit. A federated social network is one that is composed of different instances that can communicate with each other. When a user joins lemmy, they choose an instance and register on it. They can then from that account on that instance communicate with the rest of the federated network. So besides hexbear.net, there's also lemmygrad.ml, lemmy.ml (where I am from, and you can see that despite us being on different instances we can still communicate with each other), and others. It works sort of like email. If you register on hotmail.com you can send emails to any user that has a hotmail.com account, but you can also send emails to someone using gmail.com, posteo.de, yandex.ru, sapo.pt or any other email provider.

The people mentioned are generally on other instances that do not have the same culture or rules as hexbear, you can however block those users or even entire instances if you want to.

can I make an account there on lemmy I mean

[-] Faresh@lemmy.ml 4 points 8 months ago

You already are on lemmy. Hexbear is part of lemmy.

[-] CommunistCuddlefish@hexbear.net 4 points 8 months ago

You could make an account on Lemmy.world if you want to argue with a bunch of white NATO- loving Zionist Liberal Fascists. Lemmy.world and HexBear are removedd from each other because they don't like how leftist we are and we don't like how fascist they are.

Personally I hate seeing their inane discourse when I accidentally stumble upon it on a different account that can see Lemmy.world. I deal with too many racist white people in my everyday life as it is.

[-] Dessa@hexbear.net 5 points 8 months ago

The good thing about being here is that you're surrounded by people who will help shout them down and/or ban them if they cross lines

that's great ,thanks

[-] SerLava@hexbear.net 5 points 8 months ago

the lemmy liberal posts are always fun because they are relatively few, and always get dogpiled by our commie posting supersoldiers

[-] Kaplya@hexbear.net 19 points 8 months ago

Great! I think the community has done a pretty good job putting down reactionaries in these spaces so there is no need to worry about reactionary comments.

Yea Ik that’s why I joined

[-] CindyTheSkull@hexbear.net 25 points 8 months ago

Yeah, there's no denying the melanin deficiency here, but I think most of us are able and willing to recognize the privilege we have that comes along with being bleach demons. Speaking for myself at least, and from what I've seen it's true of much of the community around here, we are learning to stfu and listen when a person of color tells us we're wrong, misunderstand something, or are just being dumbass crackers. So feel free to put us in our place when that happens. I'd like to think that most of the community here will appreciate it rather than immediately get defensive and chauvinistic like most other chromatically bland spaces. Anyway, welcome!

[-] MohammedTheCommunistPalestinian@hexbear.net 28 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Reddit is filled with crackers that don’t know their place 😆

And I mean It seriously here ,yk the racist comments they make like “The Middle East has been at war for centuries” (which are blatantly wrong)

[-] CindyTheSkull@hexbear.net 21 points 8 months ago

Absolutely. Reddit is a cesspit of white western chauvinism. A lot of us here are banned from reddit for daring to point this fact out to them. We're not only anti-reddit around here, we frequently make fun of how ridiculous or disgusting the reddit fascists and libs are over in our dunk tank comm.

[-] MohammedTheCommunistPalestinian@hexbear.net 25 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Good 👍

I wanna dunk on crackers ,especially Reddit liberal crackers

[-] CindyTheSkull@hexbear.net 18 points 8 months ago

You should be right at home here, then. kim-salute

And I know that 🫡

[-] Dessa@hexbear.net 4 points 8 months ago

I believe the Dunk Tank is for that specificallt

just like the server
