I’ve seen several references to some sort of rift between the users of these instances today. What’s happening?

Actual communists here are on Threadiverse seem quite emotionally capable and are among the more pleasant to chat with. Examples there include slrpnk.net. I used to also say db0 though there always seems pushback nowadays whenever I include it, but I can’t get anyone to give me a solid answer as to why besides unsubstantiated accusations that even on their face looks like pure BS to me. So I guess I’ll keep saying it, just noting that it is a controversial point.:-)

Hexbears on the other hand are trolls, pure and simple, with zero regard for anything other than “the dunk” process of pwning someone - or rather, appearing to, from their own extremely childish POV.

Lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml then are the leftist MAGAs, believing in alternative facts rather than living in reality. e.g. most claim that they would move to the likes of North Korea in a heartbeat, except, you know… I guess they took an arrow to the knee or some such. 🤪

I am so glad that I can block people from an entire instance. If I could, I would make an exception to the devs Nutomic and Dessalines out of respect for having offered the Lemmy sourcecode as FOSS, but other than that, I have not missed a single interaction with anyone on Lemmy.ml since I have done so, every time I’ve checked to see what I might be missing. They are the most batshit insane comments across the entirety of the Threadiverse, after Hexbear obviously.

Oh look meanwhile on grad appeared as a good source of information. Bonus the user with a mission to spam their single thread, unsurprisingly also on that comm, appears to defend the honor.

More bonus they're upset people are defending ml while only there to always trash it.

Lemmygrad: "Death to America"

LemmyWorld: "Wow, they must really love America"

[–] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 60 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (9 children)

Not kidding, they’re everywhere. Those posts taunting Americans for not resisting? Russians. Those posts encouraging violence? Russians. Those posts urging you to give up, it’s already over? Russians. Those posts saying America will never do anything to punish MAGA? Russians.

We saw it all over Reddit, before the 2024 election. I got real good at spotting them ( new account, nothing but negative posts, no care about downvoted, illogical arguments, just to argue and waste time, etc) and used to call them out by addressing their supervisors, knowing they were monitoring responses, saying I already pegged this new account as an obvious Russian Propaganda Farmer, and he’s doing such a terrible job that he should be sent to the beet canning factory instead. It was often that person’s last post, under that handle, at least.

My cat went to use the litterbox but just pissed outside of it. The Russians came in here in the middle of the night, burglarised my cat’s bladder, and changed the trajectory of its pee to my floor. Russians, why?????

Obviously the Russians were the reasons for all the 49ers injuries through out the year including losing kittle in the previous game. Couldn't possibly be anything else.

Grandpa, what did you do to fight the second wave of fascism?

I was deep in the trenches of Reddit in '24, then reassign to the federated trenches of Lemmy in '26. Your typical poster would hit a thread and see a wash of usernames. Me? I didn't even see usernames. I'd go thread to thread day and night and all I'd see were Putin's orcs and Xi's brainwashed zombies. I got real good at spottin'm too. Your pops was a real sharp shooter. The amount of Z heads I sent packing back to the beet canning factory could have filled a stadium.

"Infighting" ahahahahaha

[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 9 points 16 hours ago

Yeah, personally, I like

Not war

Not genocide

Not secret police

Yes collective bargaining for healthcare

Yes collective bargaining in the workplace

No housing speculation

Yes walkable city

Yes public transportation

Yes high speed rail

Yes renewable energy

No politicians checking medical procedures

And that in and of itself is enough to put me in stark opposition to Democrats. And all of that is before my beliefs about how the system is held together, violently enforced, addicted to looting other countries. I think it's cringe and I'm willing to read the words that people wrote trying to articulate it.

[–] into_highest_invite@lemmygrad.ml 19 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

yes. the openly call for murder, theft, and various form of violence against their ‘enemies’.

won't somebody please think of the poor "housing providers" and "job creators"? stealing my fifth investment property is literally the same as murder!

also half the comments are just this lol https://lemmygrad.ml/post/10616251/7708861

It's honestly incredibly satisfying to know that we still have it after years of not being on r/chapotraphouse. Chapo-posting remains the only real, viable, way to engage with these insufferable morons.

If they would stop having dunk worthy takes we'd stop dunking. Simple as

[–] oscardejarjayes@hexbear.net 10 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

frfr

They only think that because they deserve to get dunked on. We didn't have any federation for years and years, and so couldn't really do any dunking. Currently we have very minimal federation, and so can't do all that much dunking. So really, dunking is a very small amount of our culture, and most of our criticism of people is against things not on lemmmy, about people that will likely never see that criticism, which isn't really dunking, and definitely isn't trolling.

They are viewing it through the myopic lens of their own self-actualization. They get dunked on, they get trolled, so they think Hexbear is all about trolling and dunking. They don't actually engage with us, so they don't see that we have a massive chunk of people focused almost exclusively on news. We are probably 1/3 news posting and analysis site, with no trolling at all. For the rest of our posting, the vast majority of it is still internal, and we generally don't troll each other. So badposting, the trans mega, the daily mega, it all counters their narrative. We also have a book club (two sorta, lol), and a big movie club.

We dunk in Slop, and troll in other instances (generally counter-trolling, often we don't troll first). Slop is tiny compared to News and the rest of our site. Hexbear could stop dunking and trolling completely, and the vast majority of Hexbears would barely notice the difference.

If anyone actually wants to understand Hexbear, they should lurk Hexbear for a good long while. They would see we aren't trolls, we barely care about the rest of Lemmy, we care about communism.

[–] sexywheat@hexbear.net 7 points 14 hours ago

I do have to admit that's fun to watch clueless libs wandering in here having shyte takes and then getting dunked on, though.

But ofc they fire the first shot.

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 21 points 1 day ago

Pretty sure multiple said the same when complaining about join lemmy showing hexbear.net. Like are they trying to get people go sign up or think it's bad?

Wow these people are absolute daffodils. Literally upset cause people here have said Death To America, one said it was an Osama Bin Laden quote...I mean he probably did say it...so have a lot of people. More and more people are saying it folks. America has a lot of enemies. Pearl clutching that we cheer on The Downfall of Western Civilization like that even means anything.

[–] oscardejarjayes@hexbear.net 13 points 21 hours ago

Yeah, Death to America originated during the 1979 Iranian Revolution, in which communists participated. Even though some communists got purged, and the others fucked up by working for Iraq (communism in Iran has recovered from neither), critical support to Iran is important. They oppose American imperialism, and Israeli genocide, something very, very few countries can say. Sanctions on Iran also largely just hurt the normal people of Iran, and American/Israeli aggression against Iran is brutal. Lots of normal working people oppose those actions against Iran, including parts of the Republican Party.

Iran has never attacked American soil, and doesn't support any terrorist organizations that have. They and the Axis of Resistance have actively fought terrorist groups that have attacked America, fighting al-Queda, fighting ISIS, fighting al-Nusra, and fighting HTS. They even opposed a US-backed authoritarian that used chemical weapons on civilians, one Hussein, Saddam (lol), before the US ever opposed him.

By comparison to Iran's opposition to those awful anti-American terrorist groups, Israel actively worked together with al-Qeuda. Israel provided them air cover, maps, air support, logistics support, a training camp, and even treated their wounds, and let them out to continue fighting. Remember, al-Nusra was literally a part of al-Queda until 2016. Iran has done more to protect the American people than Israel. And this is 2015, so al-Queda literally just did the Charlie Hebdo shootings in France, the the people in AQAP, that claimed responsibility, were literally in al-Nusra leadership, it was just a slight rebrand with all the same guys.

If America stopped interfering in the Middle East completely, they'd be dead to Iran. Their combat with America has been focused on getting them out of the Middle East, getting them to stop supporting Genocide and Ethnic Cleansing, and staying sovereign. They have only fought American soldiers that are most definitely in places they shouldn't be, doing a colonialism/neo-colonialism. American soldiers in Israel, in Lebanon, in Syria, in Iraq, and to a lesser extent in the Gulf states, are really all valid targets, they should not be there.

Death to America. Death to Israel.

[–] Moidialectica@hexbear.net 38 points 1 day ago

These people never went beyond taking claims of Hexbear literally, and if they actually visited Hexbear it was either unintentional and showcased their tendencies or was inherently bad will to begin with

This split doesn't really affect them either, and whenever Hexbear and lemmygrad users are found in more general Lemmy servers they're generally the most eloquent and well cited when arguing

It really shouldn't be this difficult to understand, like the two mega threads provide enough context as to why and how, but it would contradict their entire world view so I understand
