I saw a post that talked about racism towards people and when I talked about it the response I got was very heated and a person even called lemmy.world a community of ‘hitlerites’
I have been around for a week or so and this is my first time seeing such explicit vulgar reaction towards another community, is this a one-off or should I block hexbear?
Do you think every user that likes Hexbear is a Hexbear user? Moreover, full defederation is the greatest act of censorship. I’m not equating sh.itjust.works to Hexbear, I generally have better experiences and run into far less bigotry on Hexbear. Your edgy monologue was funny, though, lol.
Not every single one, just the vast majority.
How so, comrade? Explain to me how defederating a violent and hateful server is more of an act of censorship than… literal, by the book censorship.
You are a hexbear user, so it’d make sense that you have a better experience within your cult than outside it. Hexbear is more bigoted than any other Lemmy server, by a wide margin.
I’d like to see some numbers to back your claims, but I don’t really think that’s possible to gather accurately.
Either way, defederation blocks your users from seeing their content. Pretty blatant censorship, at a broad scale. Now, I don’t try to take the stance that all censorship is bad, I definitely think things like bigotry and misinformation should be censored, however I think trying to play semantic games regarding censorship just serves to obscure bias. That extends to defederating from Leftist instances like Hexbear.
And yes, I do use Hexbear. I don’t hide that, I made my Lemmy.ml account a year ago and made a Hexbear alt about 7 months ago so I could browse it locally when I wanted to take a break from the rest of the fediverse, as Hexbear takes a hardline stance against bigotry and there’s not a constant fight between liberalism and leftism like there is on other instances.
I don’t really think there’s much point in continuing this conversation, however. I highly doubt we are going to come to an agreement, and you’re already personally insulting me, so I’d rather disengage.
