Say “aye” or yes" if you are in favour defederation.

Say “nay” or “no” if you are against defederation.

    not sure if my vote is counted since I made the thread

    Nay (for now)

    I like messing with hexbear users, they have no idea how anything works, they can’t downvote, they’re easy to ban, and they are so damn fun to troll. Buuut they are also very annoying, so I can totally understand the yes.

      I block them mostly. They are easy to troll though because they spend most of their time reposting the same memes in their echo chamber. It’s like they’re all people too young to experience /b/ in the 2000s.

      Just mention something like “human rights” and see what happens.

        The heyday of /b/ (with the caveat that /b/ was never good) was 16 years ago now.

        If we assume Hexbear is made up of Gen Z who are in their early 20s, they would’ve been ~4 years old. Hell, even the oldest Gen Z would’ve been ~10. Not exactly the prime age for /b/.

        My guess is that Hexbear is a mix of Gen Z who never experienced the peak days of 4chan (and thus never got the edginess out of their system), plus Gen Alpha who are young and stupid.

        A lot of Hexbear has their heart in the right place. It’s just their minds are fucking crazy. Like, you can’t support fascism and genocide just because “America bad”.

        Yes, America bad.

        Yes, America institutionally bad.

        Yes, America not fixable for at least a decade (or longer).

        But that doesn’t mean it’s time to blindly support China and Russia. Especially when both countries are blatantly anti-LGBTQ. China shut down an LGBTQ center amidst a larger crackdown on LGBT rights; Russia is… Russia.

          Brilliantly said.

          I think it’s very telling of these individuals who rarely, or not at all, talk about modern-day Vietnam or Cuba, actual communist states. They don’t care about communism.

      they have no idea how anything works, they can’t downvote, they’re easy to ban, and they are so damn fun to troll.

      ironically enough, this was a large portion of the reason why we federated with you - fascists like you haven’t read a book or essay since high school and so fucking easy to dunk on, so we wanted to have some fun with you. it’s almost like shooting fish in a barrel, you make it too straightforward.

      unfortunately the only line you can say is “buuuhhhh Xinjiang Xi Jinping genocide?!?!!” so there’s no real constructive discussion happening anywhere here, we can write pages and pages of well-referenced prose in response and all we’ll get is “smuglord How’s the weather in Beijing, Chinese bot?” so it’s like, what are we even doing anymore.

      but, despite that fact, I vote Nay, because dunking on you is extremely entertaining and a learning experience for everybody

        The Memmy app lets me block the instance itself but not the users. So I don’t see any of the spam from their communities in my feed but their comments still show up. Super easy to just ignore though. 🤷
