queerphobic people were downvoting people just because they were gay/trans/etc, so we took note of those people, banned them, and removed downvotes so it couldnt happen again

I'll talk to the admins about a redirect

gotcha, didnt know how that worked

A user that wasnt banned and had 11 upvotes, and +4 on their second post, for the record

I'm not an admin on hexbear, no, I just know everyone at this point because I've been there since day 1. Send me bad links I'll get it removed if it's transphobic

Would you happen to remember who posted it? I'll look into it. Could have also been a call out of something transphobic, sometimes people word things poorly. We take our purging transphobes very seriously and will hunt them like big game

Oh no, not saying you aren't trying or to get it immediately, sorry if the tone didn't convey that properly. Also fed seems a little wonky rn so theres a lot of delays between posts.

The thing most concerning to me is that it has 11 votes thinking it was fine.

I can see you haven't been banned and have yet to apologize for the blatant transphobia you just posted. Gives off trolly vibes.

Should litigate it in another thread imo

Yeah I dont agree with it, trans unity is more important than internet slapfights, large forums can help with medical access which is real-world good

I completely agree. I also feel like blahaj has its own transphobic takes and maybe y'all need more mods / modtools to deal with bad takes like this, which maybe CARCOSA can help you with. I'd also take the vote to defed with a grain of salt personally given how many votes I've seen given out to people who question the validity of peoples' genders. I don't envy you needing to deal with all this nonsense, I got offered mod on hexbear many times but declined cause I didnt want to deal with what you deal with, got plenty going on in my own life.

I've held my tongue in accordance to our new rules on Hexbear, but this is sickening transphobia and I have seen this levied dozens of times against trans users on Hexbear from users on Blahaj. Hexbear rightly bans people for doubting the validity of people's genders, and would ban anyone upvoting the post as well. I believe in trans unity to the nth degree and I have worked as a volunteer at trans organizations for 10 years helping hundreds of trans people with medical access. To doubt the validity or sincerity of our trans users is beyond the pale.

Any bigoted opinion posted to it is usually nuked from orbit within 5 minutes.

dont forget about the most oppressed minority, gamers 😥

Putins head should be stuck inside one and saying that doesn't dehumanise anyone.

To me it seems that the polish wanted independence, but I don't know much about this conflict, so I am not really comfortable to comment on that.

Poland went to war with basically all their neighbors at this point and were largely supplied by Germany. There are anxieties about this history to this day in Western Ukraine, Belarus, Slovakia, and Czechia, because the Poles massacred a lot of people. Its one thing to want independence, its another to massacre innocent civilians for fun.

It wasn't 'appeasement', it was active collusion.

because for me it semms more like it gave the nazis time and space to make atrocitys in Europe and German.

The Soviet Union had just got out of a Civil War and had almost no industry. They had roughly 10 years to build an industrial base capable of defeating what essentially amounted to all of mainland Europe. They were a feudal society before WW2 and were starting from scratch. And they won, so clearly what they did, communism, worked.

Claiming the USSR and Nazi Germany were allied is not only Nazi propaganda (aka 'double genocide' theory), but also holocaust denial. And, you know, a basic denial of reality.

It should be noted that Poland invaded the Soviet Union during the Russian Civil War and opportunistically killed tens of thousands of Jews. The Soviet Union, by the accounts of many Jewish and Slavic survivors of the holocaust, saved hundreds of thousands of lives and won the war by not only signing that NAP, but also making sure that the Nazis were not occupying vast swathes of territory in western Belarus and Ukraine that had tons of vulnerable groups in them. The price for being an antisemite was death in the Soviet Union.

I say this as someone whose family house was annexed by the Nazis, and our relatives house was torched and their kids were stolen away to the Rhineland, which we only learned of recently through genetic testing. We just assumed they all died.
