  • Thank you for your open minded approach. Obviously I don't save posts or comments that annoy me, but now I see one of those as a response to my comment (large gif/jpg with no text). Earlier today I saw a post about brigading that was stupid, but I'm not throwing all hexbears into the same basket, a bunch of the comments were completely nuts. I couldn't find it again, instead I found this one: https://hexbear.net/post/502637 Again, it's not a crime, people can circlejerk however they want. What really annoys me is when I come across a post where I'm interested in reading people's opinions one the subject and the comments are filled with stickers. Strangely enough no other community does that.

  • If you put down the thesaurus and actually think about things you will perhaps start to understand. I grew up in former Czechoslovakia until my adulthood under the rule of the communist party until we overthrew them in 1989. The effects of that time are still with me. The human nature that came to light during communist rule would make your hair stand on end. All in pursuit of ideology. You can't comprehend what you're advocating for further than some utopian theory you read.

  • I've grown up under a communist government in a socialist republic. So while I have no degree in Marxism-Leninism, I can assure you that all of my schooling was infused with it. Same goes for most of popular culture. I don't despise communism, as is often the case with people like me, the idea is noble, if utopian. The ideology, like all ideologies, is scary for its intolerance and disregard of human nature. I will therefore gatekeep any pure ideolog, just to save my own faith in humanity.

  • My apologies, I was generalising. I've had perfectly normal interactions with hexbear users, but I also saw a bunch of very circlejerky threads populated by hexbear users which I found unbearable (or should it be unhexbearable?).

  • I was flirting with Linux for 20 years. There was always something that put me off an I went back to Windows. Recently I installed ubuntu with Kde plasma and I'm not going back. It just works and is heaps faster on older hardware. The old driver issues are gone, compatibility is awesome. The only issue is getting used to new software names.

  • Thanks for the write up. I came to lemmy.ee because lemmy.world is defederation happy. That's how I first heard of Hexbear. Several defederations later, here I am. You're right, us, users can block communities and users from whichever instance they come from. We all curate our lists of communities. We are in charge of our experience if we are allowed to. I did not feel like I was in charge on lemmy.world and that's why I'm here. Defederations should really be thr very last resort and even then considered super carefully and perhaps put to discussion like here or a poll.
