Hexbear defederated from us
  • I could not be more relieved.

    On the one hand, it sucks that there is a rift between communities who seem to have genuine care for LGBTQ issues. However, through the past day, being exposed to Hexbear's community and content has made me extremely concerned.

    Hexbear's server content is full of great big red flags. Even a brief skim through some top posts and comments showed a lot of content I found alarming. There are posts denying genocide, calls to violence, blatant Russian propaganda, apologists galore for authoritarianism, and the constant assurance that anyone not agreeing with these ideas was obviously a Fascist. And this was all wrapped in what I can only describe as a weird layer of smug superiority - that they are the only ones who "get it". I don't have a high opinion of any community that seems to think having the a word like "tankie" applied to them is problematic while accepting the previously mentioned content as okay. To make matters worse, a lot of Hexbear user's I've seen in other communities posting, it is often antagonistic if not just straight-up trolling. I just don't see the value in any of this.

    I just wish we had become defederated sooner and not been exposed to a community that seems to be so rife with arrogant, extremist trolls that are hell-bent on stirring up drama.
