NSFW, CW ableism/slurs against neurodivergents
They have very ableist images on their site, the user posting them isn’t banned, nor is their comment deleted. At least some bit account calls them out on it. I will not directly link to the user’s profile as it contains a flashing image useful to trigger epileptic attacks.
During only the thread in regards to the hexbear de-federation alone I encountered several -isms which would have gotten you banned on hexbear. This means that the lemmy dot world mods and part of its user base are “asshats” and couldn’t be trusted in many hexbear communities.
Edit Since posting the link to the comment doesn’t work anymore. I was on the edge whether to post it or not, but think in regards to the current federation / de-federation questions going on we ought to be quick at banning users if they reproduce hard ableism.
Warning flashing image!
Here is the mentioned user’s profile https://lemmy.world/u/gsa32
It is obvious that they are not even following the “be friendly” dot world code of conduct and ableism is accepted on the instance.
Collection of infractions lemmy dot world doesn't fix CWs
User Aux with anticommunism, but more importantly also ableism:
/u/zombuey writes: these people really crossing the line between “ideology” and mental illness.
Bit Account: well said one step into their tankie cave and you can see how many are infected by the woke mind virus
Aux: As you know, I’m anti-defed. But in this instance I’m with admins. Hexbear is a cesspool for genocidal lunatics.
Or
I can usually tell how mentally ill someone is by how often they use the word “woke” lol
Implying more ableism:
I read this mostly like “they seem like a bunch of assholes so we’re defederating so we don’t have to interact with a bunch of assholes”. Cause the folks on Hexbear seem intense (sic!) compared to lemmygrad, etc. I know it’s really the anti-NATO stuff, but eh.
One good, but dowvoted user though: https://lemmy.world/comment/1973239
Like you guys did on the LW announcement by calling everyone a fascist? I agree
Most people on LW are left-leaning and then everyone from here goes over to that thread, calls them “libs” and shits on them. “Suck off a lib and a fascist comes?” good stuff from a Hexbear admin.
But were they acting like liberals
Still upset about that one, huh? That’s pretty funny.
No, I take it back. It’s really funny.
Our posters are so good.
Not upset just pointing out the hypocrisy
So at this point I could just keep laughing at you, because the line of thinking that led you to the idea that this is hypocrisy continues to be quite amusing, but instead I will break The Rules and explain unironically.
That line is a joke. Carcosa wasn’t saying every lib is a fascist; if they’d wanted to say that, they’d have used the line “social democracy is objectively the moderate wing of fascism,” but it would have gone over people’s heads in that thread anyway. The line Carcosa used is a joking riff on “Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds,” which is not saying that every lib is a fascist but rather that libs often turn into fascists when they experience real or perceived harm of some kind (a classic example is the liberal Boston residents who sued to stop bussing for integration when it caused their children to have to spend a significant amount of time each day being bussed to and from school; their supposed liberalism did not stop them from demanding a return to de facto segregation, which they got, and in which state New England school systems persist to this day).
Keep in mind that continuing to argue with me at this point will only make this whole thing funnier.
