So you made claims which you backed up by citing a nazi sympathizer and now you're mad because they called you out on it and hurt your feelings? Are you new to the internet? I ask because those are really mild responses and you seem like you've never encountered resistance in your life. This sums up the whole situation with hexbear nicely. Some people are incredibly mad that people on hexbear don't share the same viewpoints as them and also those people on hexbear might be a little mean. I don't see why lemmy.world defederated from them, but I suppose with enough crybabies, anything can be cancelled.

I first cited a nazi sympathizer without noticing this. After they refused to accept this, I cited the UN instead. Guess what they said in the comments? That the oppression of Uyghurs is not genocide.

The comments weren't entirely mild either. Have you not seen those screenshots of comments using insults? Don't you think it's a red flag that such a large portion of hate speech on Lemmy is from Hexbear?

If you like Hexbears, you should leave lemmy.world and go make an account on an instance that has not defederated from them.

You cited the UN and made claims that the UN themselves didn't make and you were called out on that too. Yes, I read your post, so don't try to misrepresent what happened. What are you calling "hate speech"? You keep misrepresenting what others are saying and then you wonder why you get insulted. Either you're completely clueless or you're just pretending in a poor attempt at gaining sympathy. Either way, you could use the bluntness.

I had made an account on lemm.ee a few days ago, actually. Unlike you, however, I'm not obsessed with hexbear and don't feel the need to go out of my way to interact with that instance (have nothing against them, just haven't gotten around to it).

And I saw exactly what happened when Lemmy.ml federated with them. Fucking yikes. I'm glad I got out of that hell hole.

[–] hark@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yet if I go directly to the source by visiting lemmy.ml itself, I don't see the issue you're talking about. Perhaps you are overly sensitive to viewpoints that differ from your own?

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Of course, if I tell you to taste the shit sandwich you'll say it's delicious, I'm not here to change your tastes, man. You like what you like and that's all good. But funny that you use the same regurgitated talking points all these hypocrite tankies use to justify their shit. "I just have a different opinion, you're just sensitive" and get their panties in a bunch when they get contradicted in the slightest lol

[–] hark@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You haven't even explained what you dislike about that instance, you just went "Fucking yikes. I’m glad I got out of that hell hole." and then claimed I'm the one getting my panties in a bunch. I can only guess at what the baby is crying about this time.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don’t see the issue you’re talking about.

Lmfao. Maybe you should've started asking basic questions before getting testy, huh. Funny how that goes right through your own foot. Oh, and now I'm telling you that you're the one getting your panties in a bunch? If you read what I said carefully, it says the fucking tankies who got federated with were a bunch of hypocrites and that you're starting to sound a lot like them. But if the shoe fits, wear it with pride. But call it crying all you want, simpleton, it's not like I haven't heard your droning insults a million times and counting.

[–] hark@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's a whole bunch of words to say absolutely nothing.

I'm sorry you have trouble reading, but apparently no trouble at all playing dumb

[–] hark@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I'm aware that people cry about certain instances for being "tankie" but I wanted to know what you consider "tankie" or otherwise so horrible that you can't stand to read a post from there. You then went on to rant about whatever instead of simply telling me because you're full of shit.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

People were literally telling me, loud and proud, that they were tankies and that I should "cry about it". They were posting lame ass memes, insulting all liberals in the thread and defending their dear leaders in the East. Every thread that became even slightly political was like that. So how does that make me full of shit, asswipe
