I got in one argument before I realized I was in hexbear, I said Art Spiegelman isn't a zionist, and, holy hell did they have qualms with that.

Their instance has a vibe. I hate the vibe. I respect their right to have that vibe.

After getting comments removed and being banned, you probably should have ducked out of their little wildlife sanctuary, that's their habitat and they have it just the way they like it. I'm not saying they're right, I'm saying those aren't your people. Additionally, you should learn more about things before saying stuff if you don't want to get modded, the Isreal/Palestine comments are... bad.

Ah, I see the issue: You care too much about randos in the Internet and their digital pillow forts.

You got banned for trying to be a "centrist" too much. It's not just being a "fence sitter" about charlie kirk, but also about Palestine. I cringed. Your comments weren't misunderstood, I think you were either uneducated about the severity of the war or trolling. Hexbear can be wrong, but this time around they were tired of holding your hand. It's also considered bad form to continue engaging with a community that has already banned you, seriously. This is why modlogs are required btw.

quoting an older response I saw to you here:

you just sort of say your thing and move on, even if you pose yourself as seeking conversation. This is exemplified by how you constantly say the same things unprompted over and over even when not a single person has responded positively to some of it, and there's no apparent effort to change what you're saying to even account for that, even if it's just presenting an argument differently (though normally you don't even really argue, you just declare).

you did that same sort of behavior about the ongoing genocide and got banned.

you go into a Marxist/anarchist space and act confused when people react negatively to someone pushing a reformist social democrat line.

YDI.

If you’re banned from an instance, it’s probably a good idea to stop interacting with them altogether since it’s been made clear you and the instance don’t exactly align.

In all corners of the internet you’re going to get, uh, enthusiastic individuals who feel quite strongly about their online experiences and activities and act accordingly. That’s kind of a given side effect by now, as seen with moderators of all sorts of sites.

The great thing about the fediverse is that it’s decentralized, so you’re not excluded from participating in communities altogether :) /gen

~~PTB.~~ Hexbears hate being challenged from the anti-authoritarian left and will look for any flimsy excuse to ban so that they don't hear dissenting viewpoints.

EDIT: Given the rest of the interactions of the OP in this thread and the rest of their behaviour on hexbear, I retract my 'PTB' statement. They sound suspiciously trolly. Seriously!

.... shit happens.

you don't get along with whoever is there, and you say you're better for it so I'd leave it there I suppose.

I remember the first time I was permanently banned from Hexbear. the novelty of it wears off after the second or third time.

You get what you pay for when you interact with communities like those ones

It's absurdly stupid to me to just delete and ban viewpoints you don't agree with. Even if you're not open to the possibility of changing your perspective on things, how are you going to promote your mindset if you're incapable of addressing how it's superior to the other views? If you can't successfully make that argument, then perhaps you're wrong? I'd MUCH rather find out the truth of things than refuse to face my errors and wind up being an ass.
