My favorite thing to do when i see someone hating on hexbear or .ml is check out the modlog to find why they’re so angry and it’s almost always funny
Scissors rattle loudly
Can’t speak for everyone, but I have HB blocked so I don’t think about them at all until someone from one of those instances comes and tries to stir the pot. I think they think more about other instances than getting thought of
Blocking an instance is fine. But many liberals are complaining about it an every day by bringing it up without pretext in completely unrelated topics like some tick.
And those two instances are different? Like I said. You’re just stirring the pot
Liberals learned the word tankie from anarchists on Lemmy but they never learnt what it means so they call now call anyone unwilling to vote for the slightly less conservative but still conservative war mongerer. I don’t even live in the US.
This, I’m not even citizen of US and they tried to force me to vote, when i mentioned that i am not a citizen of USA, they blew up with “it’s not for you then”, who was they writing to then? Or as long as they don’t know which citizenship you have, you’re USA citizen by default, and subject to propaganda
The tone of conversation on Lemmy has changed significantly lately.
Has it? It’s the same as it always is, though with the US election I guess the liberal side is getting more scratched.
There are definitely bots on here stoking anger
There are other, more introspective, ways to react to widespread and ongoing negative reception.
Technically true, though that also applies to liberals.
Leftists when they haven’t complained about “the libs” for 5 minutes
what is this about? are different lemmy instances having beef?
It’s the general Liberal vs Leftist fighting.
Mostly people who defend far-right aggression and pretend their stances are “leftist” getting upset when they get called out on their bullshit.
Are the “far-right agression” defenders in the room right now? What imaginary enemy have you concocted?
Are you saying there aren’t people who defend aggressive actions by far-right politicians? That there aren’t people who defend Netanyahu, Putin and Trump?
There’s nobody defending Netanyahu, Putin, and Trump, and claiming to be Leftist.
Are you saying there’s nobody who defends all three and claims to be a leftist? Because that I’d say I’ve never seen. But I’ve certainly seen various accounts claiming to be leftists and defending one or two of them.
What do you consider “defending?” No Leftist I have ever seen likes Putin, Trump, or Netanyahu, which means either you have an interesting idea of what “defending” means or you are yet another “left” anticommunist.
