So?
I think what the other person was saying is that they've already created the lefty version of The_Donald and honestly I have to agree with take
They're so good damn toxic that I've literally blocked more of them in the last 48 than I've blocked people in general since I moved over to Lemmy
Not quite what I mean. I don't think Hexbear is comparable to the Donald at all. They may be rude, but they're a hell of a lot less hateful. I was just saying that they already are what they are, whatever you consider that to be.
They don't need to be hateful to be counterproductive. Even if they are legit, their methods aren't helpful.
I just thought it was weird that you were saying "they're trying to make a leftist version of the Donald" and "we have to call them out before it takes hold" like they're not already here and in force. The problems we're having right now descend from the just how established they are as a community, and the Federation isn't as established yet, so there's a lot of friction and no one quite knows how to handle the other.
There's no conspiracy here, it's just culture shock.
Fair enough. I'm not suggesting it's a conspiracy. Just that we shouldn't let ourselves become complacent to their shit-slinging.
No one took the subreddit of shitheel meme slingers seriously in 2015 either. We tried to give them the benefit of the doubt.
Look where we are now.
