But you don’t understand! Clearly trans women having a different bone density gives them an unfair advantage because of, uh, something something integrity of sports.

Humans who run instances are real people who have jobs and mortgages and kids. I also like having piracy communities around to balance the greedy ass corporations trying to control media and copyright…I’m glad to know they are there if I need them or feel like screwing around with it. I just wonder if the people ranting all...
So switch to an instance that doesn’t block them? That’s the whole point of federation. I’ve already jumped instances once, and I’m probably going to a second time.
For a moment, it seemed like the streaming apps were the things that could save us from the hegemony of cable TV—a system where you had to pay for a ton of stuff you didn’t want to watch so you could see the handful of things you were actually interested in....
Why YSK: because what seems like equal situation from surface isn’t always equal opportunity for all. And even when equal measure of help is provided, it might not be equally useful.
In fairness it punched both ways. For every complaint Al made about his nagging money-spending wife, Peggy dunked on his poor performance in bed or inability to aim at the toilet.
imo that doesn’t justify pricing people out of a drug that they will literally die without. It’s absolutely vile that the price of something essential for people to stay alive isn’t price controlled and is subject to the whims of the manufacturer.
That makes sense, but at that point the price per bulb is probably going to be higher than LED bulbs, so they’d just be paying more money just to be a contrarian. The ban is fine in this case, since a better alternative is readily available, even if it is a little bit more expensive.
I’m just asking for recommendations in case, I feel like migrating to a smaller instance or maybe try kbin for a change (but I’ll miss the voyager web app)
At first glace, sure, but when you look into it deeper it’s a cowardly move. For one, Hexbear made it perfectly clear they expect their users to abide by the rules of the instances they visit and not cause trouble. Also,
“Defederation should only be considered as a last resort . . . We made the decision to preemptively defederate”
Provide a friendly, safe, and welcoming environment for all members; regardless of gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, disability, personal appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, age, religion, nationality, political affiliation, or other similar characteristic. Human comes first.
Not to mention how long they dragged their heels defederating from the fascists at exploding heads yet are preemptively defederating from hexbear. And to top it all off there’s loads of comments calling hexbear users “Russian bot farms” and “a cesspool for genocidal lunatics.” The whole thing is ignorant as hell.
On the other hand it was enough to convince me to switch away from lemmy.world, so there’s that.
The users at Hexbear made it perfectly clear in the discussions about federation that they weren’t going to respect that request and were openly encouraging each other to brigade other instances.
Source: trust me bro.
and a quick scan showed several comments about sending offensive DMs to users of other instances
I’ve looked through several Hexbear threads and I haven’t seen a single indication of this. The most common sentiment I’m seeing is “fuck 'em, we’re better off without them.” Link me these alleged comments, please.
The idea that BH users would have been well behaved is wishful thinking as they’ve already shown the Fediverse how they behave.
Frankly lemmy.world users have shown themselves to be considerably worse, straight up making shit up and calling Hexbear users “Russian bot farms” and “a cesspool for genocidal lunatics." All the incivility is coming from the frothing-at-the-mouth libs who can’t stand that other people might have genuine anti-imperialist views.
ideologically motivated extremists
“Extremists” lmao. The nerve of you calling HB a “troll army” after posting all these completely unsubstantiated lies.
