Adverbs are like the next stage of Pokémon evolution to pronouns

[–] DarkenLM@artemis.camp 9 points 1 year ago

If bigots hate pronouns, God help them when they reach verbs.

I was uplifted for a minute and then I read the comments.

Guys, why is it so hard to just respect that people exist that you might not fully understand?

christ almighty what happened to the comments

[–] HornyOnMain@lemmy.ml 48 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Basically a single transphobe came in, a load of trans hexbear users started bullying them and mocking them and that boosted the visibility of the post so that more transphobes came into the comments, but because you're not federated with hexbear all you're seeing is the transphobes and some people doing pushback on them

Do you know why Lemmy.world is not federated with hexbear?

[–] ultrasquid@sopuli.xyz 15 points 1 year ago (3 children)

They're an instance that claims to be far left, but are mostly authoritarian CCP/USSR fans. Its also impossible to talk to them because they brigade and troll anyone they dislike.

Lemmy.world pre emptively defederated them before hexbear federated with wider lemmy because hexbear's a very active community of communists who've been on an undefederated fork of Lemmy for three years or so.

Hexbear users are very active in calling out anything they perceive as reactionary thought (transphobia, racism, ableism, homophobia, support for imperialism, colonialist apologia, etcetera) and pretty frequently get hostile about it, one of the stated intentions of them federating was to bully bigots into silence in order to make all of lemmy a more left wing space. Hexbear has a broader definition of what constitutes as reactionary thought than most people do though so they'll frequently attack liberals too.

Basically they felt hexbear's community wouldn't mesh well with lemmy.world
