Welcome ex-Redditors!

That does sound bad. If that was my experience, I guess I might actively try to avoid them too. But as it happens, I just rarely see any hexbear stuff anyway. So the fueling of cross-instance conflicts feels unnecessary and a bit icky to me.
I mean, most of the communities are on .world, and if they're not federating with .world, they're just not going to show up in the majority of comment sections.
But also, HB is much more of a communal space than most of the big instances, and much more aligned on how they engage with off-site content. And as the fediverse grows horizontally, a significant part of it probably going to be through focused instances, rather than more general purpose sites. We have those covered already, and most of the people interested in something like that aren't going to leave Reddit anytime soon.
They have what they want.
This means there will be more "we don't want to host this kind of content" discussions over time, not fewer. The fediverse will look more patchwork, not less.

So far, it's quite refreshing. However I miss some of the smaller niche hobby subreddits, as fediverse hasn't gained enough momentum yet. There are "channels" (?) that have like 300 people, and a post every other month, which is too small right now.

Nobody thinks or acts like this
You can be critical of two governments at the same time. You don't have to love one to hate the other
-
yes a decentralized federated community is very aligned with tankies totally
-
The politics community on world is even more rabid and unconstructive than the Reddit equivalent
-
Ok man, you do you.
I checked you profile, in 4 months you have 3 times the comments I wrote in 3 years and you answered my comment within 1 minute.
I strongly suggest a healthy cure of touching grass.Drag suggests you learn what a dude, guy, or man is, and why perhaps you shouldn't call strangers those words, especially after investigating their profiles and most likely realising they're nonbinary.

"Tankie" is a pejorative that basically looks like an exact replica of McCarthy's strawman of a Communist. The purpose of the term is to claim the accused that they genuinely hold those McCarthyian characteristics, regardless of reality. It shuts down conversation because it would be inconvenient to have those conversations, it's a thought-terminating cliché more than a real thing.
-
Okay bro wtf is that wall of text. They're all communist, full stop. Trying to label them something else doesn't change the fact that communism is a political system for psychopaths
-
Of course drag isn't inviting to sealion, drag is gish-galloping and isn't interested in any conversation. drag has proven this, from defending Nazi-led pograms as "true revolution" to pretending Marx was an Anarchist and wanted full decentralized horizontalism, rather than full centralization and democratization as industry gets ever more complex.
drag is therefore either uninterested in genuine conversation, or is a troll.

I have to ask, are shitlibs aware that Wikipedia isn't divine gospel, and that there are other works in the history of humanity? Because it seems to inevitably be their one and only go to, which is particularly embarrassing given that even a middle school teacher could tell you that it's not a good source. Even worse, it doesn't' even back up your claim!
I get more and more liberal every time I see some self-described leftist call people a shitlib because they’re slightly right of Pol Pit or whatever.
-
Best I can do is act like a slashdotter:
This general idea has already failed elsewhere. What you want can't work.
Just point me to the Natalie Portman and hot grits.

I'm aware that to the far left everyone who doesn't want to abolish capitalism is considered right wing. I mean the normal (Dutch) political spectrum. Social democratic
I'm kinda far left myself, I think capitalism is a pretty cool guy

Well that's a pretty stupid reason to change your political beliefs.

I’m not changing it just reinforcing it.

I caught a 7 day ban in microblog memes for "whataboutism" after I pointed out that leftists were not responsible for the democrat's loss, their actions would have been wildly unpopular whether we told them or not.
