Hi all, it's whitepwrfan69, your lovely admin here at lemmy.balls. The mod team and I have been hard at work making sure that this place is fun and pleasant experience for all the users here. After days of discussion, looking through literal petabytes of data, we've decided the best course of action is to defederate from Hexbear. Although we very much believe in free speech, there are some pretty obvious dangers coming from federation with them. Let me list the top examples that me and the mod team fleshed out.

I just don't understand tankies. They worship authoritarian dictators like Lenin, Marx, and Stalin, who each on their own, have killed more people than Hitler.

Like I get it, socialism sounds good in theory but it has never worked in the real world. I mean I'm as far left as they come but even I can see that if you try to do socialism, it always ends up becoming fascism, just by a different name. Real socialism is the Nordic model and we should be striving for that, I think. It's a tried and true method that obviously works. I tried talking about what Norway and Sweden are doing to one of those hexbear users and they just typed a wall of text about some dumb made up shit about the "global south", whatever that is. I've never heard of that term until I talked with them and I've taken several econ and political science classes at school.

Anyway, I think it's best we defed from them so we can focus on more important things like getting Kamala elected.
