Some comrades over at Hexbear have organized a donation drive for Palestine and, over the past few weeks, have managed to raise over $1500 for verified Palestinian fundraisers. The fediverse is a good place full of good people.

goddamn this entire thread is annoying:

yes the hexbears are annoying and create problems
no they're not just as bad as overt fascists. their hearts are in the right place, as demonstrated by this post
being a scold when they do something good won't get them to do more good, it will entrench them further into the things they do that are problematic

so good job hexbears. you did something good this week. keep stuff like this going

Thanks for the candid words. It seems that people get more bothered over theoretical ideological points than the results of the theory. I'll be very happy if .world users decide to own hexbear epic style and do a 10 times larger fundraiser for Palestine
