Sorry (๐Ÿ) we did this without making a post, but after receiving several complaints we defederated from hexbear.net yesterday.

Here's a few quick examples of poor conduct by hexbear users:

They warned their users to behave themselves, but that didn't work: https://hexbear.net/post/280770?scrollToComments=false

Please read and respect the rules of the community instance in which you are posting/commenting. Please try to keep the dirtbag lib-dunking to hexbear itself. Do not follow the Chapo Rules of Posting, instead try to engage utilizing informed rhetoric with sources to dismantle western propaganda. Posting the western atrocity propaganda and pig poop balls is hilarious but will pretty quickly get you banned and if enough of us do it defederated. Realize that you are a representative of the hexbear instance when you post on other instances.

You can be a communist and be against Marxism-Leninism. They will just call you a liberal and a traitor that is siding with imperialism.

And you can also be a leftist/socialist without supporting authoritarianism. They seem to have forgotten that, and gobble up CCP/Russian propaganda like it's candy. They give reasonable socialists a bad rep. I consider myself leftist. But because I don't support authoritarian regimes, that must mean I'm a dirty filthy liberal.

How can anyone on the left even associate themselves with ML when neither China nor Russia allow LGBTQ+ to exist in their countries? I don't understand ML at all

I mean, here are just a few sources

And the bigotry and racism is something else too in both countries, it's insane. There's no defense for this

No one can really call themselves a "leftist" if extreme right-wing ideologies that the neo-nazis over here follow are what they condone

Because economic left and social left are different things?

Hexbear seems to have a lot of LGBTQ+ folk though

There's also black guys in the Proud Boys, what's your point?

Mostly due to them having an extremely zero-tolerance stance on transphobia, which I learned is extremely hard to find a place on the internet that does that, even among spaces designed for them. A lot of places will just let casual transphobia slide because "it's not that bad" or just because they don't personally see it. (It happens so often I actually made a word for it: not-seeism)
