lmao they banned me for 30 days and then orlando@hexbear.net started harassing me privately after, some people on that instance are really unhinged

[–] DornerStan@lemmygrad.ml 13 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Part of why I moved to grad after being on hexbear from the beginning and wasting too much of my labor there as a mod. It's mostly good comrades but the culture always seems to get absolutely dominated by a few vocal radlibs.

Better than most social media still, but Christ I wish you could force people to read theory and join an org (or maybe it's good that these people are stuck polluting online communities and not wrecking IRL orgs)

[–] yogthos@lemmygrad.ml 15 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

Yeah, most people there are alright and genuinely nice, but there is a really toxic lib minority there that's overly represented unfortunately. Grad being a Marxist space really helps filter that sort of thing out.

that orlando person was being extremely beligerent in that thread, I'm surprise you were the one who was banned.

That of itself says a lot about moderation on there. It's also amusing how they couldn't find a reason in the thread to ban me, so put it down as me having multiple accounts. Never mind the fact that my accounts predate federation and hexbear. It's like yeah, I made two identical accounts seven years ago just for this moment. 🤣

orlando@hexbear.net

No one ever can nor want to mailto: a fediverse user, so that’s a silly bug.

haha I never even noticed, I guess markdown parser thinks it's an email

Hexbear has a crybully problem.

you can really tell Americans are well represented on that instance 🤣

I remember the Israhell burning flag debacle. Clique behavior is too common there.

[–] yogthos@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah that kind of stuff is pretty cringe.

[–] demeritum@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Cringe is being diplomatic. Horrifying how supposed leftists had so little self interrogation that they had to “yelled” at after two years, and made to realize the flag of Israhell isn’t a holy symbol and its defilement not anti-jewish.
