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
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.
They... dont. Pointing out why the war happened, and wanting the war to end: understanding that the only way for the war to end being through negotiations where Ukraine gives up things, and therefore saying that Ukraine should negotiate and end the war, can to some look like defending Russia, it is not.
It's amazing that when faced with sober geopolitical analysis, people mistake it for moral justification or dehumanization. You can't solve geopolitical issues without acknowledging geopolitics! Of course it was immoral for Russia to attack Ukraine, but shouting that into the void and expecting anything to change does not save Ukrainian or Russian lives.
The top comment in this thread has no idea what they are talking about and I would not take them seriously. The communist opinions on China and Russia are so much more nuanced than they give credit for. Explaining them would actually take me hours to write but you can go there and ask. They will be forthcoming and genuine as long as you are.
