I saw a post that talked about racism towards people and when I talked about it the response I got was very heated and a person even called lemmy.world a community of 'hitlerites'

I have been around for a week or so and this is my first time seeing such explicit vulgar reaction towards another community, is this a one-off or should I block hexbear?

is it possible for lemmy user to "federate them in"/include in single feed?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 minutes ago

Not that I'm aware of, though OP could ask on Lemm.ee or Lemmy.ml where more instances are federated.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Oh another one of these

Short answer:

"What if 4chan was communist instead of neonazi"

Similar level of assholety and low post quality. Better politics. Overall don't bother, not worth it.

I'll do you one better, why is Hexbear??

Hexbear.net is a Left-Unity instance populated mainly by Marxists and Anarchists. They generally don't get along with Lemmy.world, whose admins defederated from the major Marxist-aligned instances.

Whether you block Hexbear is up to you, I enjoy my time there a lot but it's also because I'm a Marxist. The ones saying they are "pretending" to be Leftist never seem to be able to explain why a large group of people would all ironically have theory reading groups and ironically support trans rights for years, even before federating with anyone else. What would they have to gain?

If I were you, I'd ask on an instance actually federated with them. You'll get different perspectives than you will here, which is always the case when it comes to controversial topics like Marxism, where opinion varies greatly from instance to instance.

Credit where credit is due, youre honest and youre correct. Have my upvote!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 13 minutes ago

I try to be both, lol. Thanks!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

They're straight up delusional morons.

For transparency, you were banned not only from Hexbear but from other instances for racism, misogyny, transphobia, and COVID denial.

Mostly for pointing out you people are retards, if we wanna be honest, not for filling out your fucking bingo card.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 21 minutes ago (1 children)

Mind clarifying which part you are using ableist attacks on?

Who do you mean by "you people?" Which category are you specifically targeting here? Which box am I in?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago

Its a leftist space that sometimes has trolls

[–] [email protected] 16 points 7 hours ago

You should block hexbear

[–] [email protected] 34 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (2 children)

Hexbear, lemmygrad and (in great part) lemmy.ml are tankie instances.

They basically deny any crimes of Stalin, Mao etc…

"Anyone right of me is Hitler" sounds pretty on point for them. Instance block and move on with your day.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 12 hours ago

Wow, I was wondering why I hadn't blocked a single hexbear or lemmy.ml user here: my instance did it for me! I've had multiple accounts on multiple servers and consistently had to block hexbear users until finally blocking hexbear outright. It's been a much better experience then.
