    I got permabanned from Hexbear for simply denouncing ageism. Apparently not falling for the divisive labels they stick on every generation so they can blame each other is not tolerated.

      90% of the time these assertions are BS, so evidence or it didn’t happen.

      They’re the reddit users that think reddit 2024 is too left wing.

      They’re the reddit users that believe the only thing wrong with reddit is too many ads.

      They’re the reddit users that think voting is an effective measure in a captured kakistocracy.

      They’re the reddit users that believe Biden is most left wing president in US history.

      In short, yes.

        They’re the reddit users that think voting is all you can do to end fascism.

        They’re the reddit users that think if you question authority you must love the other party’s authority.

        They’re the reddit users that think anything to the left of them must be ignored, and anything to the right of them is just misunderstood.

        .world has more insufferable people than any other community, it has the most spots on my blocklist. I’d block the entire thing if it didn’t cripple my hobby communities and some of the few good ones from it.

      Hexbear, grad and .ml are the Tankie Triad, .world defed’s from Hex and grad because Hex is the worst, Grad is runner up. .ml tends to be more subtle about it and has largely avoided a more mass defederation movement like what happened with hex and grad

    Regardless of whether you’re politically left or right, I feel like the hexbear crowd is just tremendously unfriendly. Even when I agree with them, I usually feel bad reading what they have to say. Being unwelcoming is not a good strategy for proliferating one’s politics.

    This whole instance-tribalism seems very self-defeating to me. Why be decentralised if everyone ends up so boxed off that there are just a handful of isolated instance-clusters talking amongst themselves? It’s like how email (SMTP) is decentralised but the mega-hosts act like a cabal, gatekeeping so strongly (and virtually doing blocklist-by-default for unrecognised servers - even of good standing) ultimately capturing the user-base by undermining the decentralisation. Luckily with DKIM/SPF/DMARC/ARC/etc and stronger anti-trust regulations email seems to be slowly climbing back out of that hole. Unfortunately with all the banal tribalism it feels like much of the new Activitypub based tech users are willfully climbing into that same hole, without even being corralled there by mega-hosts.
