I'm something of a liberal with horrible racist takes myself.

I'm going to make a hexbear account because I'm tired of racist takes from other instances.
Welcum to the dark side.
- I am born anew!
Brave of you to abandon that excellent handle on lemm.ee
Welcome, friend. I made an account here for similar reasons and it was the best decision of my life (and mental health).
Welcome 🤗. I spend a lot of time on hexbear for similar reasons. Don't like the racism and homophobia on other instances and social media platforms.
Come on in, the water’s fine

I swear, I'm not like other lemm.ee's!

Hey :(

I use lemm.ee because the big lib instances have not defederated it (.world, beehaw) and they still federate with hexbear (I also like slrpnk.net and they defederated from hexbear as well).

Sorry for the friendly fire
Ditto Odo. I like having the agency to choose to block / ingnore users or instances I dislike. I understand some people may not be in a headspace where they are able to ignore vitriolic / harmful posts or opinions and some people simply don't want to have to block every other post and just enjoy their space.
.ee seemed to tick all the boxes at the time while being large / established enough to not fly by night.
There are other instances out there, who just simply don't take political stances. I specifically chose one ran by oldschool internet heads. AFAIK we've not defederated with anyone, and the userbase would revolt if admins did without very, very good reason.

  There are, like, CSAM and Nazi instances.
Tell them to federate with us, you must act as our representative

I think that's just because it's become kind of the general instance now that Lemmy dot world keeps having its hamster wheel powered servers self combust. I'm sure there are plenty of cool people on there as well because of that, just drowned out by endless liberalism.

I think it's because the people motivated enough to respond here are always doing so because they were triggered. The normal people aren't triggered. They might read a bit of the struggle session and say nothing. That's all.
Eventually over time those people became members of CTH back in the day. So give it time. I have noticed that we've gone up by about 100 active users per day in the last week. Many of these are probably chapos dragged out of their hole by the entertainment of the battles happening on /all/ but I also suspect we are attracting a few people.
I am hopeful that lemmyworld's problems continue indefinitely until lemm.ee takes the leadership role as it seems run by people of sounder mind. Their moderation of hate is stronger, transphobia is better, and they're not banning the socialists. It's the one we ought to promote.

  this way of using the word triggered really undercuts PTSD and it originates from reactionary groups - can we please not replicate it here?
- I can confirm this, I was watching the debates without engaging in them until my instance defederated this place, and I was left curious enough to make an account here

I kinda hope they don't defenestrate or whatever, there's a perverse glee in the whiplash of seeing all these Reddit posts showing up on Hexbear

Might get old though

Last time I saw one here, a bunch of great comrades from the news megathread dogpiled them with walls of text, literally so much text I had to scroll for a considerable amount of time. I don't think that's ever getting old.
It's fun to body them but I don't like seeing reactionary shit on hexbear, I'm here to escape that.

  1 bad lemmy user comment with 69 hexbear dunk replies

Someone needs to make a bit account that is literally just called lemme.ee and post only awful takes. You heard it here first folks

Wouldn't it just be that neera tanden bit account?
- I miss her, that was my favorite bit account. Although I guess the impact wouldn't be as much of a whiplash now, since we have lost libs wandering into posts anyway.
Also bring back downbears but only for posters from lemmy so it can be a certified moron asshole badge.
- That would be a good bit. Downbears only for non local posters so every Hexbear post is massively upbeared and every bad take is massively downbeared. Non local posters with good takes can have a little upbear too, as a treat

I don’t understand this post or the existing discussion. Eli5?

OP is suggesting that a large portion of the lemmee userbase are racist neoliberals who share their racist neoliberal opinions proactively.
Personally I wouldn't phrase it the way they did (it's too totalizing) but I've definitely mainly seen terrible racist and/or neoliberal opininos from that site. There are also cool people there, though.
- Thanks for filling me in.

Oh no what have I done

Righting my wrongs

I have not seen this at all

If you want liberal content, go to Mastodon lol

It literally just happened on this thread

I have never seen so many racist comments against Eastern Europeans as from supposedly leftist communities like Hexbear or Lemmygrad (unless they preach imperialist rachism).
