I was there on reddit and at the beginning of hexbear. I thought about coming back. But, right now hexbear is tolerating a culture that equates good faith disagreement with a personal attack, that makes shallow judgments, that’s far too ready to attack without wisdom. Good faith discussion with a hexbear user appears to be the exception, not the rule it once was.
Over the decades I’ve followed the vanguard from movement to movement as each scales and then fails. I’d perceive this as the beginning of the end. But, none of the other movements began with such sound ideology. Recovery may be possible here where it was not elsewhere.
I may once again join you. But, not today. I don’t have the resources to invest what I believe is the bare minimum required to serve the community.
I agree that right now hexbear is mostly full of shit and that it’s unlikely anyone is currently organizing there. For example, I just said that above but you didn’t bother to read and think before speaking.
I’m glad we’ve now this common context. But, I fear what qualifies as a “discussion” to someone who starts off so poorly.
Don’t get snotty about me when you’ve fundamentally misunderstood what I said. I was not agreeing with you at all; Nobody ever has, nor ever will use this as a place for organising, because that is not what Hexbear is for. Do not try to organise here. This is not your local community, it is not an organisational hub, it is not a political party of any form. Hexbear is a social network for a wide range of leftists to hang out in - you have completely misunderstood the point of the website if you are in any way considering it a place for action.
Is this another Voight alt? You don’t understand subsets, you think everyone who disagrees with you is the same person on alts, and you’re fixated on Hexbear as an organisational hub. You gotta be Voight.
I’m going to ask you what should be asked of everyone who makes these sorts of claims about Hexbear: can you provide us with even a single example of such bad faith discussions that you claim are happening?
You may speak to me as a moderator and in private. I’ll provide an example, nothing more, and only under the condition that you don’t subsequently bother me with whatever it is you or anyone else thinks about it.
I’ll help in this limited fashion only because you’ve solicited and also sit in a position of authority. If I had the resources to really give a fuck about this then I’d already have registered an account and composed a post.
Edit: Regardless, I will disengage from this thread entirely.
Edit 2: As expected, the “moderator” didn’t bother to message me.
Edit 3: The moderator has now messaged me. I lacked patience.

sounds like you’ve been speeding too much time on .world. I generally see/have good faith discussions predominate here unless a gets lost over here

Was it organizing when we created hexbear, funded it, and hashed out the rules together?
Is education part of organizing?
I find your comment laughable, particularly because you’ve flaunted your PhD in your username.
It was organizing to create a lemmy replacement for the cth sub, not towards any irl political goal
Yes, but not all education is necessarily towards the goal of organizing
Ok you got me, good troll
You responded from the wrong alt with a series of three logical fallacies.
I bet they aren’t even a real owl.

Could i be a smug reddit brained asshole?

I for one, fardded and shidded my pants, so thanks a lot for that!

New site tagline just dropped
Even someone with a relatively sane and informed post history such as yourself can’t handle the softest of criticism without mockery such as,
Then, the vanguard usually defects.
I’ve seen it all before. And, I’ll see it all again.
apologies, I’m late to seeing this exchange but I just want to say

The good faith disagreement: racism, transphobia, pro genocide
Damn I wonder why people take it as a personal attack
They’re a cop’s husband so what do you expect?
