What took so long?

You and I both.

We could start a law firm together. H&H law, dedicated to helping victims of the great letter apocalypse.

That's a pretty low price point...

How do you use Dex?

How does it collect information on sexual activity?

Exactly this.

I've told them this before. I agree with them on about 60% of the stuff they believe. But they are really, really hung up on the genocide apologetics. I've tried reasoning with them, but I don't think it's going to happen. I'm pretty sure they banned me haha

Oh my god I just read through the entire series and I love it so much. Thank you and I want goblin girl to find love 😅

Maybe not the solution, but the ideal answer would be a conversation and family therapy

Who's that

A furry instance would be quite preferable. Furries tend to be pretty chill

Right I get that. Lemmy.ml is visible to you in your federated feed. It sounded like the person I responded to said that this was part of the hexbear feed, which I don't think it would be, since that only displays hexbear communities.

All beside the point though - the point is that as more and more instances defederate from hexbear, the pool of meme communities dwindles, funneling more hexbear people into the few remaining to them simply by the lack of other options.

Exactly this. They don't get that the way that they communicate is the problem, not necessarily the beliefs.

The main issue is that they aggressively defend countries like Russia, China, and North Korea. The simplified reason for this is that they are communist countries that, they claim, are oppressed by sanctions and misrepresented by the west.

They also really like whataboutisms.

It's sad because most former redditors might actually agree with a lot of their leftist beliefs, but hexbear users seem to be very stuck on supporting and making excuses for fascist regimes.

I now brace myself for a flood of downvotes and replies. I beg of you, please keep the whataboutamerica replies to a minimum. I already know and agree that america does bad things too.

This is the lemmy.ml memes community, so unless I am very mistaken about how things work, I don't think you found your way here from hexbear all.

If lemmy.ml defederated from hexbear, you would no longer see this community on the "fediverse all" section, just like you cannot see communities from lemmy.world.

The point being, as available communities become fewer and fewer, hexbear users looking for meme communities will probably concentrate on the few remaining to them, instead of being spread out over the many otherwise available.

:O I'm excited!!

Right, it's not that there is something actively pushing hexbear to them, but because there are fewer places for them to go, it becomes more likely that they will end up in the remaining instances.

For example - let's say 2 hexbear users like to look at memes. They were previously using the lemmy world meme community, but now, since they are defederated from there, they will go to different instances' meme communities. But then, more defererate, and it funnels a higher concentration of them into the remaining instances' meme communities.

As they get banned from more instances, the instances they are not banned at start seeing a higher concentration of them.

Cool. I imagine I would agree with a lot of what it says. I haven't been talking about the contents of the writing though. The only point I'm trying to make in this entire thing is that copying and pasting 11 paragraphs is bad communication.

🤷‍♂️ it's all good my dude. If you don't want to learn how to communicate your message better, it's not my problem.

In this case, I'm just saying throwing 11 paragraphs of some random essay isn't a good way to communicate. I'm all for education.
