They are cringe.
And I know cringe (source: I am cringe)
Anyway, Lemmy turning into Reddit would be bad.
That’s what .world is for - it’s a containment instance that is slowly defederating from everyone else. Soon the ledditors will have their own little walled garden where they can narwal the bacon at midnight or whatever the fuck 😒
I actually just defedded myself from Lemmy.world after being reminded they’re doing some shit with Facebook andthe got rid of their largest piracy community. They can keep .world, most of the shittiest takes came from there (but don’t worry i haven’t forgotten about you guys .dbzer0 and .reddthat, you’re cesspits too) The absolute last straw was somebody from .world replying to me unironically with “who hurt you?”
dbzer0
To be fair, while there’s a clique including the owner that is remarkably shitty (“Stalin not giving enough support to the disorganized leftists in Spain is the same as him sending the Red Army to kill them, QED marxism is evil”), the majority of users from this instance are pretty cool.
I basically only interact with hexbear posts I just don’t feel like making another account plz let me live
that the one with the pretty active piracy instance? because the pirate people are cool
I certainly have nothing against piracy and, like I said, I think most of the userbase is cool

I read this on another post? What are they doing with Fb? Are we an ActivityPub protocol? I legitimately think we should federate and sabotage Meta. It’d be hilarious.
while specifically being defederated by meta would be peak, i don’t think it’s worth the risk of having facebook users coming into spaces that are meant for trans people.
It’d be hilarious if we got a news article on CNN about us or something over bullying zuck
Oh thank god
Literally everyone on this site is a Redditor and it’s funny how y’all try so desperately to claim otherwise. “no, no I’M NOT A REDDITOR”
I used to be a redditor, but I got better. exactly the same as how I was a dirty channer, but I got better. 💅
The point is to purge the most malevolently crackerish of the redditisms out of ourselves, not perpetuate the loop ala the containment instances.
Kill the redditor, save the man.
Shhh you’ll ruin the bit
I think lemmy having libs is beneficial to us, because they are systemically in an uphill position in an instance mainly moderated by communists. The real engine of bad takes are from the “mutuals” we have with lemmy like .world and co. I think strategically the best option is to go after instances that aren’t federated with us rather than those that are. I don’t think there’s any benefit to letting red scare instances fester, and r/cth demonstrated how easy it is to cow rightists.
What I think is fascinating is the handful of people posting leftist memes to .world. Feels like lemmy has a critical mass of leftists that even when you try to make an extremely liberal space it still spills in
The question then, I suppose, is how many of those leftists are like us and how many are “Compatible Leftists” that are fundamentally non-threatening to liberals. Liberals typically love Chomsky types that let them feel like they engage in radical discourse while fundamentally failing to challenge power.
Preemptively posting this for when this gets screenshotted by some
“They think they’re an OWL!!!”
I’ve been saying this.
Purge Reddit users. Execute Reddit mods.
“I was one of the good Reddit mods”
No you weren’t.
But dirt owl! You’re a redditor too!
First they came
Then they came
Then they came
Then
Hexbear would drop to 0 users
oh shit oh fuck
Yes I agree. Only us true hexbears should be allowed here.
I miss the 2 or 3 actually good subs on reddit. r/tipofmytongue was a great community, as was r/Stunfisk. But like, the handful of other good subs went private and then the company pushed more of the fasc subs, even though I blocked those multiple times over.
Oh look, an unpopular group is jealously trying to pretend it’s any different from the more popular group!
