I don't hate you, this defederation thing is something I don't like. It creates echo chambers. Reddit was an echo chamber, too. But it was one everyone creates for themselves, subscribe: privacy, linux and selfhost and your chamber of anti-GAFAM is ready to rock (for example).
Seeing Hexbear and other stuff in "All" helps to escape your own bubble and creates more divergent discussion.

I agree with your last statement 100%
I am generally against defederation and censorship.
In response to the OP of this topic though, people hate hexbears because of the constant hardcore brigading and the huge inline image abuse.
It's annoying as fuck. As soon as you smell a "lib", even though you are usually wrong, it just turns into a massive dogpile on anyone who doesn't share your identical belief structure.
That isn't debate, it's bullying. You have the numbers to pull it off but if it carries on you will absolutely end up defederated from everywhere.

We're actually 100% correct, just fyi. A lot of people don't know that about us
-
Yes, you are absolutely the smartest ones in the room. All rooms. At all times.
I suspect the userbase of hexbear skews extremely young. I too had everything figured out when I was younger.
-

As opposed to you, who definitely doesn't roleplay being the "smartest one in the room" and speak in condescending generalizations about a large group of political others. Never ever.
-
If you are still seriously reading communist theory beyond the age of 20, I've got some truly terrible news for you. You should probably stay out of rooms altogether before anyone puts it together for you.

We all know you're using that isle of man flag as a coward's version of the afrikaner flag. You're so god damn bad at this.
-
Yeah, that had me raising my eyebrows too
-
I'd like to call it the Brakpan swastika, but that's harsh on Brakpan.
-
A) I don't know the first thing about an Afrikaner flag.
B) I was born there
Try again.
I hope you get the Praxis you are looking for one day.

Yep. Doesn't change where I was born. Us filthy "libs" are a bit more mobile than you lot. I've lived in a lot of countries, and I've visited half the world including China which is why I don't need to engage any further on this. None of you have a clue what you are talking about. You are singing the praises of a country that is a living hell for 99% of its inhabitants, even moreso than filthy capitalist strongholds.

This is a fantastic way to piss off poor and marginalized people, flaunting your privilege and using it in a context to assert some flavor of chauvinistic superiority over us. You're only digging the grave of your class further and further by being a jerk that thinks their own shit doesn't stink, which is fine with me as I enjoy skipping to the end of direct class conflict. The people you step on are the vast majority on this planet, and they recognize which class actually shares their interests based on how they are treated, so you're just giving us more comrades and bolstering solidarity by throwing them into our open arms, critical support to you in that regard.
You said you've "visited China"... When? When precisely did you visit China, and where did you actually go? What's your story here?
You are singing the praises of a country that is a living hell for 99% of its inhabitants, even moreso than filthy capitalist strongholds.
Complete projection here. Everything you said is basically true in regards to specifically the United States, but also the Western world in general, which is only worsening in living conditions for the working class as time goes on. You failed to elaborate on why you assert China to be a "living hell" for 99% of its inhabitants. Do you have any actual tangible examples, or is this just like all the other bullshit claims that are taken at face value as Gospel Truth because liberal media monopolies in the West, with the US at its core and main source, endlessly hammer these things into the heads of the population?
See, unlike you, a person who speaks, condescends and sneers from an ivory tower of privilege, the vast majority of us cannot afford to just take luxury vacations and go wherever we want. Your demographic treat the poor of other countries like zoo animals, finding it a good time to travel to poorer places and ooo and awe at the less fortunate to reinforce your confidence in grandstanding to flex and scoff at those that oppose your class interests and intend to fight against them.
Here. I may not have the wealth to travel around the world, but I'm resourceful enough to have found some concrete examples of this "living hell" you spoke of. Check it out:
Things You CAN Do in China (You CAN'T Do in America) Americans WON'T Believe It...
Apartment Tour in China | What can $300 a month get you? 🇨🇳
China vs USA - Please DON'T Compare... (Americans Crying) (CW for the vegans: meat carving/eating)
China LEADS the World in Electric Cars! (America Shocked)Next time you want to talk about socialist nations being inferior to the living hell that capitalist nations have cultivated for their own people, bring receipts. If you refuse to engage in the concrete examples I have provided, don't even bother replying because I'm not interested in bad faith conversation.

China is a living hell for 99% of its inhabitants which is why they overwhelmingly approve of their government and are overall happier and more optimistic about the future than people living in western “democracies” , you sure are smart dude

Seems I have to narc on all my professors, postdocs and PhDs, they all read Marx.
-
So which one is it: round up all the intellectuals and cast them out to carry out farm labour, or let them sit in their ivory tower and read theory?
-
Your point was "No adult reads Marx!", which I disproved readily with people of status and learned people that do.
The funny thing is that one of the professors does actually carry out farm labour, as they are involved in international brigades and works for 30 years for food security with sustainable practices in precarious countries. Did quite a bit of their study in AES countries, too.
I would start with casting you out to do farm labour (which you seem so into) and also having to read/discuss various things, too.
-
round up the "Passiv income Class defending" intellectuals and cast them out to carry out farm labou AND let them read theory?
-
no reply .. tssk ... typical .. currently probably franticlly searching for something online he can repeat ...

There's this reactionary trope that Communism is just something teenagers who have never had real jobs are into, that somehow the basement-dwelling children of 1st world small business owners are able to easily blaze through all The Manifesto, Grundrisse, Anti-Duhring, German ideology, All 3 volumes of Das Kapital, All 3 volumes of Theories of Surplus Value, etc. etc. etc. before they're old enough to drink, and then after getting an associates degree abandon it because they learned to adult... it's patently absurd. If anything the type of people in question don't even begin to question Capitalism until they're well into their 20s and sufficiently addled with student loan debt and long hours and a bleaker future than their parents.
-
Which Marxist texts have you read, and can you summarize any Marxist ideas without plagiarizing wikipedia?
-
Okay, explain how the following mathematical formula that's used to examine the rate of profits of a company, which tends to fall, is invalid and shouldn't be studied
p' : p'1 = s' (v/C) : s' (v1/C1) = (v/C) : v1/C1
-
This is you forgetting that there are actually theoretical texts and not just agitprop like the Manifesto, right?
-
-
What a silly statement! It is so ridiculous that it doesn’t even deserve a rebuttal
-
that's right, I only read liberal theory. Slava Hogwarti!

the constant hardcore brigading
Going to a thread on Active isn't brigading
As soon as you smell a "lib", even though you are usually wrong,
Uh, there are some anarcho-bidenists, but from what I have seen the record is pretty clear of false positives
-
Viewing the entire world through the American lens is folly.

i'm not american and i'm fine with calling these people anarcho-bidenists, it's just a way of saying some anarchists (especially western ones) are actually just radlibs, whether in awareness of it or not
-
lol - I learned a new word. Thanks.
-
ok it's weirdly funny in this context that the definition literally mentions joe biden lol
the fact it was posted by SexHaver212 is even better, that's 100% a former r/CTH user posting right after (?) the democratic primaries
-

-
I am willing to bet that you are speaking from a country that America drags along in its wake, so you remain a bidenist no matter how many snide remarks you make about ze stupid Americans.

You can use U block origin to block the emotes. I do that for the ones that bother me.

That isn’t debate, it’s bullying.
