Why is the solarpunk memes community on this instance filled with such massively anti-left folks?

    Hexbear is good and most of the negative things people have to say about it are completely made up

      It’s super rare to have a pleasant interaction with hexbear users. And I think thats something they are proud of. To me this just really sad, because how exactly are you spreading your propaganda effectively when everyone just thinks you are annoying?

      Also on hexbear users of other instances or other instances as a whole get heavily misrepresented and there seems to be no good faith when interacting with other communities that are not closely aligned in their political stance. (Of course hexbear itself also suffers from lots of misrepresentation, which probably contributes a lot to their in group / out group thinking)

        Hexbears don’t really make any attempt to hide the fact that they love trolling and brigading. Even the places where I align with their general ideology, I find them pretty obnoxious and juvenile. Contrary to the other user, I actually struggle to imagine how anyone who has spent any time around them could not find them annoying. The emoji spam alone is pretty cringe, and that’s before you even get to the weird dunning Kruger thing they have going on with their politics.

        In my experience that is because it’s super rare for liberals to approach socialists in good faith. They don’t pleasantly interact with bad faith trolls, with transphobes, with homophobes, with racists, with misogynists, with fascists, and so on. If you were to approach them in good faith you would find nothing but pleasant interaction.

      Idk about completely. They’ll just straight up slobber on Putin’s knob and it simply doesn’t make sense without the community being compromised by a troll farm somewhere.

      Xi at least has some deniability to his fascism and a hope of Da Revolushion turning a corner at some point. Putin’s literally just a fascist invading his neighbors out of rank imperialism.

        Yeah, this is the completely made up stuff I was talking about thanks for the demonstration. If you think anyone on hexbear is a fan of Putin you have obviously never opened the site even once.

        Also if you were being homophobic like this on hexbear you’d be banned, which is the correct position to take

            Referring to sucking dick in an insulting way is a very common form of homophobia. The implication being that sucking dick is bad and shameful and is inherently insulting.

              Sure if you completely disregard context you could interpret it as homophobic, but the way they used the insult was only to imply hexbear users are submissive towards Putin to the point of performing sexual favors for him. Not saying I agree with it, just trying to clarify and point out how you’re being a bit over-zealous.

          I would like to encourage you to use the report function if you see things that you think are homophobic or in any other way hateful towards an oppressed group. Might be that the mods of the instance / community do not agree, but atleast then you will know their position and how much it aligns with yours.
