They are cringe.

And I know cringe (source: I am cringe)

Anyway, Lemmy turning into Reddit would be bad.

That's what .world is for - it's a containment instance that is slowly defederating from everyone else. Soon the ledditors will have their own little walled garden where they can narwal the bacon at midnight or whatever the fuck ๐Ÿ˜’

I actually just defedded myself from Lemmy.world after being reminded they're doing some shit with Facebook andthe got rid of their largest piracy community. They can keep .world, most of the shittiest takes came from there (but don't worry i haven't forgotten about you guys .dbzer0 and .reddthat, you're cesspits too) The absolute last straw was somebody from .world replying to me unironically with "who hurt you?"

[-] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 39 points 8 months ago

dbzer0

To be fair, while there's a clique including the owner that is remarkably shitty ("Stalin not giving enough support to the disorganized leftists in Spain is the same as him sending the Red Army to kill them, QED marxism is evil"), the majority of users from this instance are pretty cool.

I basically only interact with hexbear posts I just don't feel like making another account plz let me live

[-] Des@hexbear.net 29 points 8 months ago

that the one with the pretty active piracy instance? because the pirate people are cool

[-] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 20 points 8 months ago

I certainly have nothing against piracy and, like I said, I think most of the userbase is cool

I read this on another post? What are they doing with Fb? Are we an ActivityPub protocol? I legitimately think we should federate and sabotage Meta. It'd be hilarious.

[-] good_girl@hexbear.net 29 points 8 months ago

while specifically being defederated by meta would be peak, i don't think it's worth the risk of having facebook users coming into spaces that are meant for trans people.

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

It'd be hilarious if we got a news article on CNN about us or something over bullying zuck

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 39 points 8 months ago

Oh thank god wholesome

[-] abc@hexbear.net 53 points 8 months ago

Literally everyone on this site is a Redditor and it's funny how y'all try so desperately to claim otherwise. "no, no I'M NOT A REDDITOR" angry-hex

[-] manuallybreathing@lemmy.ml 35 points 8 months ago

I used to be a redditor, but I got better. exactly the same as how I was a dirty channer, but I got better. ๐Ÿ’…

[-] frauddogg@lemmygrad.ml 28 points 8 months ago

The point is to purge the most malevolently crackerish of the redditisms out of ourselves, not perpetuate the loop ala the containment instances.

[-] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 22 points 8 months ago

i'm not. tried to be, but they kept banning me for being too cool.

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

Kill the redditor, save the man.

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 13 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Shhh you'll ruin the bit

[-] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 48 points 8 months ago

I think lemmy having libs is beneficial to us, because they are systemically in an uphill position in an instance mainly moderated by communists. The real engine of bad takes are from the "mutuals" we have with lemmy like .world and co. I think strategically the best option is to go after instances that aren't federated with us rather than those that are. I don't think there's any benefit to letting red scare instances fester, and r/cth demonstrated how easy it is to cow rightists.

[-] kristina@hexbear.net 32 points 8 months ago

What I think is fascinating is the handful of people posting leftist memes to .world. Feels like lemmy has a critical mass of leftists that even when you try to make an extremely liberal space it still spills in

[-] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 22 points 8 months ago

The question then, I suppose, is how many of those leftists are like us and how many are "Compatible Leftists" that are fundamentally non-threatening to liberals. Liberals typically love Chomsky types that let them feel like they engage in radical discourse while fundamentally failing to challenge power.

Preemptively posting this for when this gets screenshotted by some lemmitor

"They think they're an OWL!!!"

[-] DayOfDoom@hexbear.net 45 points 8 months ago

I've been saying this.

Purge Reddit users. Execute Reddit mods.

[-] DayOfDoom@hexbear.net 38 points 8 months ago

"I was one of the good Reddit mods"

No you weren't.

[-] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 44 points 8 months ago

But dirt owl! You're a redditor too!

[-] 420blazeit69@hexbear.net 41 points 8 months ago

First they came

Hexbear would drop to 0 users

oh shit oh fuck

[-] Hexbear2@hexbear.net 12 points 8 months ago

Yes I agree. Only us true hexbears should be allowed here. hexbear-retro

[-] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 8 points 8 months ago

I miss the 2 or 3 actually good subs on reddit. r/tipofmytongue was a great community, as was r/Stunfisk. But like, the handful of other good subs went private and then the company pushed more of the fasc subs, even though I blocked those multiple times over.

[-] Dimok@reddthat.com 2 points 8 months ago

Oh look, an unpopular group is jealously trying to pretend it's any different from the more popular group!

[-] good_girl@hexbear.net 36 points 8 months ago
[-] kristina@hexbear.net 33 points 8 months ago

Imagine being jealous of a fedora tipping nerd from reddit

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 34 points 8 months ago

Hey everyone! This nerd doesn't pirate Nintendo games!

[-] Mindfury@hexbear.net 32 points 8 months ago

feeling particularly scratched, are we?

[-] tocopherol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 8 months ago

Cringe, prepare for purge

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

@reddthat.com users are so eager to be purged. Look at this one right now stalin-joking

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 26 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I'm so jealous of Reddit you have no idea.

I really want to say the bacon narwhals at midnight

I want to spend my money giving digital gold medals to NATO feds

Gosh I wish I was popular. Everyone knows popular equals good, that's why everyone loves Facebook and ~~Twitter~~ ๐• and never complains about them ever.

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

That you have no idea how to get under our skin is probably the most unintentionally funny thing about this comment.

[-] Dimok@reddthat.com 1 points 8 months ago

That you think I'm attempting to is what gives me a chuckle

[-] Rom@hexbear.net 14 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

So then what exactly was your point if it wasn't to start some weird high school ass drama about not being the popular kids?
