Also having to have “the talk” so they don’t get freaked out when they first see those instances.
I love that you can just interact with people who’ve been brainwashed by different propaganda from yourself on here. It can give you perspective on your own inherent biases, even if they’re not as severe as giving the ML Pass to dictators who are not even vaguely communist.
Blocking hexbear has nothing to do with a difference in ideas. Hexbear gets blocked because it hosts communities of some of the most obnoxious, unrepentant trolls known to the internet. Lemmygrad and .ml get blocked because said trolls made alts when instances got fed up and defederated from hexbear.
It’s like the Khmer Rouge’s version of 2004s era /b/. There is nothing to be gained from interacting with those people.
“The internet” being the four websites that this person frequents. There are some depraved people and forums on the internet. You don’t have to search for long. Getting called a fascist by a communist nerd from Hexbear, who uses content warnings and cannot even downvote you, is easily survivable. The actual sewers of the internet will doxx you, send you disturbing gore or sexual content, they’ll try their best to traumatize you.
Guarantee more than a few of the ppl who complain abt hexbear being toxic r kiwifarms users
They've just never met any decent posters.
If you've never been called a slur are you even trying?
