I don't really care about the hexbears either way, the ones I've seen haven't been too bad though I've heard there are some really bad ones

What bothers me more is how quick mods seem to be to shut down any discussion about them whatsoever

Went on the Lemmy matrix to ask about them one time and I just got one guy flooding the chat with "you should observe for yourself and form your own opinions"

Many of them call for the imprisonment and death of everyone that disagrees with them who they label as fascist.

[-] imPastaSyndrome@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

Yeah it's such a terrible suggestion, or maybe just like do that?

[-] flashgnash@lemm.ee 29 points 2 years ago

Who said I wasn't also doing that? It's not mutually exclusive, just a quick way to get a read on people's sentiment towards them and to try to figure out why people shut down discussion about them so consistently

[-] imPastaSyndrome@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Because the truth is easier to find in person rather than through many other people's filters, and the way you wrote it, it seemed like you thought that was a very stupid suggestion... Glad to hear you think it isn't

[-] flashgnash@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago

I thought it was a stupid assumption on their part that I wasn't also poking around myself

[-] Natanael@slrpnk.net 3 points 2 years ago

Yes that's why science progresses the fastest when nobody's collaborating and everybody starts from scratch

.... Wait

[-] imPastaSyndrome@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Ah yes because opinions on people are a science

[-] Natanael@slrpnk.net 4 points 2 years ago

Sounds like you expect a bar to never kick out annoying people because then the other customers didn't get a chance to form their own opinion

[-] imPastaSyndrome@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

No? Because a bar isn't a good metaphor and people can be shitty and it's really easy to see for yourself on the Internet

[-] Natanael@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 years ago

Why not? It's easy to see for yourself in the bar too. You can just not listen, right?

??? Okay so then they are forming their own opinions...? Which is why it's a shitty metaphor. I don't get why you're using a stupid ass metaphor anyway not I'm going to pretend this stupid ass conversation isn't happening anymore

So you don't understand the actual point of throwing out people who misbehave? You don't see the crowd vote to throw out a hooligan, people are perfectly happy with bouncers throwing out assholes.Why do you think people want to see those assholes online? Why do you think people want to have to dig through 300 bad comments to find 10 good ones? Why do you think people want to individually block every single annoying account showing up in their replies?

[-] imPastaSyndrome@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Literally none of this conversation has been about banning people, it's been about looking yourself what type of people on a lemmy instance are.
