I saw a post that talked about racism towards people and when I talked about it the response I got was very heated and a person even called lemmy.world a community of ‘hitlerites’
I have been around for a week or so and this is my first time seeing such explicit vulgar reaction towards another community, is this a one-off or should I block hexbear?
Not every single one, just the vast majority.
How so, comrade? Explain to me how defederating a violent and hateful server is more of an act of censorship than… literal, by the book censorship.
You are a hexbear user, so it’d make sense that you have a better experience within your cult than outside it. Hexbear is more bigoted than any other Lemmy server, by a wide margin.
I’d like to see some numbers to back your claims, but I don’t really think that’s possible to gather accurately.
Either way, defederation blocks your users from seeing their content. Pretty blatant censorship, at a broad scale. Now, I don’t try to take the stance that all censorship is bad, I definitely think things like bigotry and misinformation should be censored, however I think trying to play semantic games regarding censorship just serves to obscure bias. That extends to defederating from Leftist instances like Hexbear.
And yes, I do use Hexbear. I don’t hide that, I made my Lemmy.ml account a year ago and made a Hexbear alt about 7 months ago so I could browse it locally when I wanted to take a break from the rest of the fediverse, as Hexbear takes a hardline stance against bigotry and there’s not a constant fight between liberalism and leftism like there is on other instances. I’m especially curious about what makes Hexbear “bigoted” to you.
I don’t really think there’s much point in continuing this conversation, however. I highly doubt we are going to come to an agreement, and you’re already personally insulting me, so I’d rather disengage.
