I'm getting a little tired of Hexbear shitting on the Burning Man situation. (hexbear.net)

Pyramid Lake is now a fully autonomous collective in Nevada. Hexbear users are sitting in their nice, air-conditioned, bedrooms while actual workers are out there building community support during a disaster. They are pooling resources, rationing, and helping one another survive. I thought the point was to have support, albeit critical, for AES, but I guess not. Burning Man is closer to Marx's ideal socialist state than China ever will be.

Can we just defederate from them already? What is the point in continuing to exist with people who actively spew hatred and misinformation about our comrades in Nevada?

The elaborate sarcasm on hex is above and beyond what my little brain can handle sometimes

I've been here for three years and, believe me, at times I feel the same :P

The mark of a good bit is that know matter how well you understand the context and site culture, you still can't immediately know if it's a bit or not.

Trust me, it's too much for all of us at times. Just assume something really stupid is a bit and you're better off. You can always ask "is this a bit" and we have to answer honestly it's the law.
