Sorry (๐Ÿ) we did this without making a post, but after receiving several complaints we defederated from hexbear.net yesterday.

Here's a few quick examples of poor conduct by hexbear users:

They warned their users to behave themselves, but that didn't work: https://hexbear.net/post/280770?scrollToComments=false

What's wrong with hating landlords?

[โ€“] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago (6 children)

Calling for execution of anyone seems a bit extreme to me.

No calls for violence seems like a simple rule. And not every landlord is greedy mcshitstain with 50 properties, many of them are a single family with their starter home rented out, or a couple renting out their extra room.

It is interesting that you conflate two things, like "no violence" (ignoring the violence that landlords, yes even small ones, do) and then also having the urge to defend and discriminate landlords with good ones implicitly not beeing greedy and single families. However what you wish for in the world is not what I hear when I go to the pub on the corner, there I will hear calls for violence against quite a few groups, trans people, women, minorities, marginalized, unhoused, politicians, leftists, antifascists, activistsm BIPoCs, neurodivergent, unhoused, etc. etc. plenty of times and fast.

I just wish people like you would try to enforce your "no violence" rules in real life as openly as you do it here. Of course I would also urge you to see violence in denying people healthcare or housing, education, food etc, too.

Man sounds like you should move if you hear people threatening violence regularly against all those groups at your local pub

ignoring the violence that landlords, yes even small ones, do

Are we actually talking about actual bodily harm or is this a new made up definition you just pulled out of your ass

I'll give you a hint, it rhymes with pull sit

Nothing's wrong with hating landlords. I hate landlords. Lots of people hate landlords. There's a difference between calling for economic reform and calling for mass executions.

I support the move of the admins, but of the points they made, this point was the one that I was like "eh I mean, that's fine tho". People are tired and civil unrest is growing. I think it's fine to try and vent that even if it means punching (or shooting) up. It might be unsavoury, but broadly I don't have an issue with it in small amounts.

some landlords might have to go but there are degrees. Speculating in housing is unethical, but a small land leech isn't some kulag who needs to be ended.

Also, property managers, really? They are just wage workers.
