we have several salute emotes but i haven't heard if the image size thing has been fixed so let's just pretend i posted one
Hey thanks for the input! I'd like to say that we users on hexbear can get rude or rowdy and that can seem jarring to some people. I understand how that crassness can be off-putting.
To those people I'd encourage that they take a step back and observe what that rudeness comes in response to. To me many of you are just as rude, if not much more. I've yet to see hexbears mistreat anyone that disagrees in good faith. It's a website with a low tolerance for debatebros and smuglords, so if you behave in that way, yes you will be treated with derision.
In other words: What goes around comes around.
To the users that feel offended I ask you this: Do you not think civility is a two-way street? If you initiate discussion with a smug gotcha, why do you feel you deserve to be met with anything but the same attitude? If your response to a well-thought out post is "smh Kremlin propaganda", why do you feel as though you deserve to be treated with respect?
I disagree with plenty of hexbear users on many issues, yet it has never been an issue. To me it is you that have a hostile site culture. It is nigh impossible to just ask a question or dissent. Asking for sources to claims gets me nothing or at the very best a link to Wikipedia after hounding one of you for ANYTHING that can move a discussion forward in good faith.
So, no response to the actual question of the thread, just whining and complaining on your part.
That's because they just put your (our) instance on their whitelist, you'll start seeing their comments and discussion as of Sept 1st around 6pm East.
They start posting around 9 AM Moscow time
So sad that they removed that Moscow time clock from the front page. Was so easy to tell when the posting shifts started then.
Хорошая работа товарищ
Looks like your shift is over soon, Ivan. Maybe you can get back to your favorite pastime of stacking river rocks, or would your regime not even allow that?
I'll have to ask the council of indoor cats.
Your regime’s suppression of outdoor cats is disgusting! Do you know how many outdoor cats we have to accept as refugees here? So many that we are forced to hold them in detainment facilities and separate them from their families. It’s sad but you know, our leaders are doing their best and the old administration was definitely much worse. Just don’t ask me to prove that
You’re really regurgitating Cold War tropes huh
This is revisionist, river rock stacking and outdoor cats are strictly forbidden.
The only thing I’m regurgitating is your dads cum
^ That’s me after being scratched by your dad’s sharp dick. We were both liberals before that, but you know what they say, “jerk off a liberal and a fascist cums”
we all love a nice pointy dick. i remember the good old days at the dick sharpening factory
Nobody wants to have a sharp dick anymore :( now it’s all about testicle milking factories
Congrats I guess?
Rock-stacking.

Legitimately if my country would pay me to shitpost trans memes on the internet I would actually like my country.
Excuse me, I’m a Chinese Bot, not a Russian one. Please get it right.
Bullshit we are usually watching hextube at 9 am Moscow time.
I'm going to try give this nonsense a serious response, even though it's not worth it. That's actually one of the times hexbear is the most inactive. Our userbase is majority American, and is more active during daytime in the US.
I know this because I've used hexbear in the mornings in my timezone (CAT) which is usually an hour behind MSK, and the website is completely dead. Only a few European users active.
Nah we clock in early.
Fuckin hit the nail on the head with this one. I run in a lot of leftist communities there are always tankies, but honest to God that shit doesn't come up unless you seek it out.
Hexbear is a whole ass community of people not some kind of weird ideological monolith populated with people who spend their whole day harassing others.
On top of that I haven't even seen them do anything that wild?? There is NO WAY that this whole drama could possibly be in good faith. The outrage FAR outweighs any evidence of foul play.
Like it's the internet if you go into a discussion about politics expect it to get fuckin heated and don't run crying about defederating bc someone hurt your feelings.
No one is seeking you out and making you spill your politics publicly so they can bully you for not being a marxist-lenninist-maoist-purist I fuckin promise dude.
The level of pearl clutching I've been seeing about hexbear since I joined Lemmy is ASTOUNDING and mad counter productive if we're trying to make the fediverse work.
simply based
I had some conversations here. They were saying that north Korea is a lovely democracy, Russia is totally justified in Ukraine, and China isn't doing anything to the Uyghurs in Xinjiang.
Sure those are only ideological differences, but they are really big ones.
Just chiming in to thank mr clay for making that thread so engaging and fun and to second his recommendation that you read it.
You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll leave cursing the great satan, amerikkka!
Nobody said any such thing.
Not anymore no. They were running re-education centres that had mandatory stayover Mon-Fri, return home on weekends. Those all closed literally 2 years ago now but liberals still scream about it.
DPRK positions are generally quite critical and measured when it's socialists discussing with other socialists. However when a liberal comes in with all their propaganda and brainworms though you get the unironic stanning because it's practically a waste of time having the conversation. If you wanted the measured and mature conversation about it you'd first have to demonstrate genuine willingness to learn and engage with intent to learn, most liberals are incapable of this and want to talk about haircuts or how the entire country is somehow one big play pretend show put on purely for white western liberals and actually things are so bad because they unironically believe the propaganda from defectors making up absurd stories like they have to push the trains because you lot actively want to believe anything you're told.
I'd have the measured conversation about it, but I seriously do not think your response to this will be mature or academic enough for it.
Socialists are much further away from you than you are away from republicans. We know this. We point it out regularly.
Oh hey! You never got back to me on whether you felt that the discussion we had exposed some more nuance on the subject of the war in Ukraine, I assumed you must have gone to sleep or something. But I was really enjoying our discussion and was genuinely curious if you felt it had been productive. Maybe you just wanted to argue with other people more, but it seemed like we were making progress.
For what it's worth, I didn't say Russia was justified, I said the war was bad and the US made decisions that lead to this situation. I'd appreciate it if you would represent me fairly. I certainly hope you're representing everyone else fairly too, I didn't really read the other discussions you were having.
Absolute chad
I've seen plenty misbehaving, but I have seen a lot more complaining about them. I'll see a heavily upvoted comment like "wow the hexbear tankies are out in force today" and I'll scour the thread to find one heavily dowmvoted comment of that pig picture emote. The whining has gotten far more irritating.
