whats the over/under wager that it was retaliation for the recent "h e x b e a r" shit?
If a single hexbear user is participating in this (which I sincerely doubt, and honestly refuse to lend any bit credence towards, and yet I indulge this fantastical hypothetical nonetheless) they will immediately be site-banned for 1984 years. CSAM is reprehensible and is not tolerated. I truly doubt this is the case. If Hexbear is occupying this kind of space in your brain, I would wholeheartedly recommend you
and meet some people.
Don't try to understand an army of trolls. Part of the job is destroying itself
While we might seem annoying, I don't think a community that consistently uses content warnings for text posts is the right place to look if you're trying to find the kinds of people who would post that kind of imagery en masse.
been using it since chapo dot chat and I haven't felt as nuts since using reddit years ago, as I have since federation was implemented
it isnt even like they have to visit a whole ass other site, it just shows up inline with everything else
Every time I see a lemmeee.eeeee thread I feel gross and no amount of scrubbing my skin off in the shower seems to help
It's gotten so bad I even reply here it's awful
We've literally had people get site wide bans for failing to CW non vegan food before, the idea of anyone here posting CP to "own the libs" or something is so alien to the site culture and so fucking awful that the ideas completely out of question
Especially when there are actual Lemmy instances federated with lemm.ee that are /pol/ adjacent where they do actually have a site culture of posting disgusting stuff like that
So someone takes the time to write out a civil and thought out response, and this is how you choose to react?
You're crying about being insulted, yet you fail to see how your yourself instigate these interactions. You're a snivelling little baby
what a load of shit. Read what you just wrote. Thanks for trying.
fucking 0%, what an unhinged suggestion
And yet look how many replies it's getting. Seems maybe it isn't so unhinged? Have you only been on the Internet for a few days?
You just accused hexbears of not only possessing but also posting images of children being r****, and youre really shocked that users from here came out to tell you that that's complete bullshit? Would you just not respond if I started making posts saying "hey everybody, just so you know, @[email protected] likes to download images of CSAM and post them on the internet" with absolutely no evidence except general vibes that I don't like you?
I accused? I think you are delusional and your reply makes me more hopeful to block your whole instance.
You literally just said that you think hexbear users were posting CSAM to lemm.ee
You need to learn the definition of literally.
So what other possible interpretation is there of that comment? would you be fine with coming into a hypothetical comments section about some similar CSAM spam being done against hexbear and seeing
why did you type it like that
i think they think we're name-searching and not just terminally online posters who click on things that pop into our feed

So it won't be searchable as one word
No one is regularly searching for mentions of it other than feds, you reddit-brained weirdo
what the fuck is wrong with you
Why so defensive?
You literally called us pedophiles. A pretty serious accusation. You genuinely think that anyone wouldn't be defensive against that?
Damn you suck, must be tough being you
Are you going to just puke up ad hominem attacks or do you have a point?
All you're doing is proving the point I was making.
What point were you making then, aside of baseless acusations of an absolutely heinous thing
simple insults aren't the ad hominem fallacy. Flaps didn't say you were wrong because you suck he just said you suck, which you do!
This is the funniest, saddest, and stupidest shit I have seen all day and I work retail.
Not a single lemmy user or admin, was it .world, .ml, HB or exploding heads or dbzer0 would benefit from other instances being attacked like this. Spamming normal porn or gore maybe could go as a joke or retaliation sure but using csam is very threatening to the whole fediverse even if done against a single small instance.
No federated instance would benefit from it, but users of a defederated instance might think it's a good idea if they viewed it as hampering the competition.
What would it mean if lemmy as whole would get a reputation of being infested with cp? That's the risk.
Pretty fucked up to accuse our userbase of spreading CSAM. Call us Putin-loving China bots or whatever, but accusing us of actual crimes with no evidence is too much.
Dude if this is the shit you wager on, deal me in, i'll have your house before lunch
Why would a Hexbear user do this?
Like, beyond your accusation that we're fostering the kinds of users that have CSAM on hand, what possible reason would any of us have to try to shut down any instance let alone one that is by-and-large friendly (or at least neutral) to Hexbear?
Relax, it's just the second prong of the attack. First you inflame a community by grossly violating their shared standards and then accuse certain members in the community of complicity.
The right wing is in such disarray that their only defence is to keep left-wingers fighting amongst themselves.
Don't blame us for your hero logging on
I have my issues with the HB mafia, but I don't think they'd stoop that low.
