I don’t like to see so many political posts in all and so many weird images in comment sections
I would love to block that trash completely. Every interaction I’ve had with any of them and their posts has just given me the impression they are just trolls and nothing else. If anyone truly thinks they are leftists, I question your definition of left. They can go and stay in their little instance and show all the bullshit and talk all the nonsense they want to.
What in the world have I woken up into…
As an Asian/Taiwanese, I do not understand why Hexbearians feel the need to point out what’s racist for us.
The picture of Xi the Pooh is clearly a parody and pointed specifically at Xi and the CCP, and not a general racist insult to Asians. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, in East Asia knows that, including the Chinese themselves. We use/refer to it a lot ourselves on our own social media platforms in Taiwan (習維尼, 習: Xi, and Winnie the Pooh: 維尼), and if you mention any of it on Chinese social media Weibo/WeChat, you likely will get banned from the platform.Kind of reminds me of cultural appropriation gone out of hand, where Westerners feel the need to be angry at other Westerners for wearing Japanese Kimonos or Chinese Quipaos. Like, no one here is offended. We don’t understand why those people feel the need to be angry for us.
Edit: I just saw a Hexbear comment on another thread posting that China doesn’t ban Winnie the Pooh because Disney is able to exist. Well, no shit. It’s in the context of Disney. Put that phrase in any other thread on their platform (preferably political) and see what happens, then can you claim that the CCP doesn’t ban the word Xi the Pooh.
If you’re using Sync for Lemmy, you can filter stuff by instance, and a bunch of other criteria.
Half of all is hexbear posts for me now and I don’t like those posts very much
The biggest and best get all the hate.
Hexbear: why do so many people want to degenerate with us
Also hexbear: Spams every complaint in other instances with unrelated images
They are so eager to prove themselves the assholes that people accuse them of being, and then they whine and cry about instances defederating from them.
I’m pretty sure the whole thing is a false flag/astroturf to discredit sincere leftist discourse. It seems a lot like a blend of bad leftist parody, and edgy 14-year-olds who fell for it

Why would you invoke the name like this
I think I said hexbear 5 times and summoned the whole instance
I do have to say, a lot of you are incredibly boring posters. There’s no pizazz, no razzmatazz. You have a whole new space before you to take your posting where ever you want and you treat it a comment section to a community chore wheel.
don’t worry we want to defed from sjw too
Please do
Genuine question, how do you guys decide which instances you want to federate with and which ones not?
Xi Jinping tells us who to fed and defed with
jk, it’s a vote
Yes, I know it’s a vote, but what’s so fundamentally different between the big Lemmy instances that you want to block some and not the others? Are the userbases of those big instances really that different from one another?
Yooo we got them making memes about us, for free and everything
Not every publicitiy is good publicity
Because we hate you.
how dare we be obnoxious to the virulent homophobes and transphobes that have been coming out of the woodwork
Was I being homophobic with this post? Because they have been being obnoxious here, posting emojis that cover the screen and calling me a shithead
Correct.
I thought yall were freeze peach absolutists?
I love the idea of ditching Reddit, a site owned by a for-profit corporation and run by unaccountable admins, for a decentralized alternative where people have more choice and power over their own content…
…but why do people have to make it so political?
