My last post was a post equating NATO with gay rights with the caption "fuck tankies". That is not the case. I simply found a screenshot on discord and posted it because I was unreasonably angry at hexbear due to the brigading of the discussion thread. Hexbear does have some nice people among their very politically charged communities. Have a picture of sleeping ducks instead.

Hexbear does have some nice people among their very politically charged...

Nope. Anybody on hexbear knows damn well it's chock full of racist bigots. They are OK with all that racism and bigotry.

That makes them bad. A lot of racist bigots are polite and friendly. It doesn't mean they aren't scum.

You have a table with 3 people sitting at it, a Nazi comes over and has a seat, no one leaves or pushes the Nazi out, you have 4 Nazis sitting at the table.

At this point I've blocked between 3-4 dozen Hexbear folks across all my alts.

[-] moonsnotreal 5 points 1 year ago

I have blocked several of their communities that I've seen on all. I was just saying that there are some diamonds in the rough. They are a lot more tolerable if you just block their dunking community and their political communities.

[-] DessertStorms@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

I currently can't even block them, which is making a lot of threads unbearable to scroll.

[-] moonsnotreal 3 points 1 year ago

That's weird. I can block any user from any instance, but that might be because I'm on lemmy not kbin.

[-] Gormadt 3 points 1 year ago

Might be a Kbin thing, I've block 3-4 dozen of them at this point across all my alts.

Thanks for deleting your post. I hope our two communities can live and share in peace. There are certainly some hexbears over here who have been too antagonistic as well as some people here who seem to want to stir things up.

:blahaj-heart: (we have no such emoji on our instance but maybe you do lol)

[-] moonsnotreal 8 points 1 year ago

Yeah I just responded with emotion instead of stepping back for a bit. I don't want to be an asshole for no reason just because some others were. (Idk how to post instance emojis so here is a normal one) ♥️🏳️‍🌈♥️

Thanks!

Also just want to clarify that we do not brigade. We're just replying to stuff in our feed.

[-] ezri 11 points 1 year ago

This may be true for most of hexbear, but there was certainly brigading after blahaj was linked to in your dunk tank community.

[-] forcequit@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

Are cross instance emoji still huge? Cos putting them behind a spoiler tag could help maybe

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

Alright, sorry. I'll do that just to be safe

The dancing duck one isn't too big

[-] Zuzak@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

Thanks for that. Fwiw I believe we've been staying clear of discussion threads when requested, the rule clarification helped.

Btw the elites don't want you to know this but those ducks right there are free, you can take them home with you. I have 458 ducks.

Yeah and the actions of the sites worst users is no way to judge the whole instance. I just got angry because of the trolls lol.

Where are the sleeping ducks? On kbin I see a movie poster for “Mississippi Burning”.

[-] moonsnotreal 1 points 1 year ago

Try reloading or restarting your app. It's a picture of 2 sleeping ducks that I took at a boat launch.

[-] squiblet@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'm using a web browser. It seems to be a problem with kbin as some other posts have had switched thumbnails tonight. This is what I see, but I could go view it on the original instance I'd bet.

[-] DessertStorms@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'm on kbin too and trying to open the link to the image you did post (because I also have the movie poster preview) isn't working (nothing loads).

What happens is that while federation is going on, kbin can't get to your image either (probably because the server it was loaded on to is down or having issues), so it ends up grabbing the next image it can find and using that. In some cases the original content will eventually become available and clicking the title will link to it (like what happened here), but other times it won't (or at least not in the timeframe when your post is active).

Best you can probably do is post a fresh link to your photo in the comments.

Also fuck hexbar and fuck tankies. To second Gargleblaster and paraphrase - if you make your "bar" welcoming to nazis, you're running a nazi "bar".
