I'm trans and new to Lemmy. Can I have some lore on what's going on with Hexbear?
(lemmy.blahaj.zone)
I'm posting because originally when I was looking to create a Lemmy account I came across Hexbear. I read the code of conduct and TOS and to me it seemed like a great fit for me. However, after creating an account there, it seems pretty defederated.
Anyway I was curious on the happenings over there, because they have some cute custom emojis over there... but if there's a reason they're so defederated, I might just pretend i never made an account there
EDIT: omg I just found out this instance has cute blob emojis too :3
They are tankies. They like China and Russia because they're supposedly communist and ignore all the human rights violations.
It's hilarious, because no good communist would call Russia and the CCP communism.
I was thinking to myself isn't Russia today decidedly not communism
It’s not, and literally no one on those instances thinks that it is.
They defend it to their dying breath though
Show me one single example of it, then. You can’t, because they don’t.
More "Insist the human rights violations are capitalist/western/CIA propaganda used to fuel a culture war". Which like yeah, the most effective propaganda is the truth and all that...
Literally no one thinks post-1991 Russia is communist. Show me a single example.
True but I've also seen quite a few ml users defend russia invading ukraine and calling ukrainians vermin etc
Edit: That is to say, it's easy to think they think russia is communist when they celebrate them killing civilians as some sort of victory against imperialism
