I don’t see this as something that’s going to be usable in the consumer market except for the high end gadget collectors, at least at this price.
However, there is absolutely a market for this on in the business world. I’m thinking specifically things like maintenance jobs. Think about an aircraft mechanic who has to replace a part. This would be able to throw them what the path of least resistance is to replacing it with maximum efficiency and minimum risk to the plane.
If I didn’t know OP from other meta threads I would say they’re trying to cause drama. But I don’t think that’s the case. I’m willing to give the benefit of the doubt.
Yea, I get that. At the same time, you can’t go in with immediate disrespect. I completely agree with responding to disrespect with an equal rebuff of disrespect. That is not what’s being done from what I saw and experienced in my interactions with several folks on hexbear.
That being said, it seems to be a small, but significant, minority of hexbear users that are engaging in this way.
Not sure if you read the entirety of what I wrote or just reacted, but there’s no need for name calling.
If you have something better I could compare the vibe on hexbear, I’d be open to it, but that was the only place I’ve seen that engages in intentionally inflammatory meme-based vibes politics in the same way hexbear does. That kind of discourse is not the kind of discourse I want around blahaj. And they did a LOT of it in the original post for this.
And yes, queer solidarity is important, but only to people who are willing to return the respect needed for solidarity.
If a trans person punches me in the face every time I see them, me saying “well I need to keep them around because of queer solidarity” makes me an idiot. Of course I wouldn’t want to have them around, they keep punching me in the face!
Maybe something’s not rendering right in Memmy. There was no reference to anybody saying “you’re not trans” in the parent post to what brain_in_a_box was responding too. Because I didn’t know what they were referencing, I asked. They responded.
I will admit that it was poorly written, but if you read what I said it was that the VIBE was like T_D. And I stand by that. They’re intentionally inflammatory vibes based politics. And I love that for them, but I don’t want any community that celebrates “dunking” on anyone around me. I highly tailored my Reddit use specifically to avoid assholes like that because it makes for discourse shitty.
I think the comment that Gormandt posted earlier is pretty revealing that there’s a decent chunk of the community is more interested in dunking than discussion. Even to the point of “honest discussion is pointless, dunking is all that works”.
Correct, I was not. Ada’s response moved me to neutral because it brought understanding to why we federated in the first place, and I was ok just blocking their communities and moving on with my life.
Agreed. And I had not intended to cause the drama that it did. I was hoping for a civil discussion about hexbear because I was getting really frustrated by constantly seeing their communities show up in my “All” feed while I’m still building my subscription list. Like seeing a story I thought would lead to an interesting discussion, opening up the comments and just saying “goddamnit” and blocking another community was really frustrating.
Now they I’ve blocked most of their big communities it’s been better, but their behavior in they thread as well as some of their community’s reaction to proposed rule changes has me thinking that maybe my initial reaction was correct.
