Greetings dear lemm.ee folks,

I have noticed an increasing number of lemm.ee users dissatisfied with Hexbearians. Reading through the modlogs on hexbear.net, I have observed truckloads of lemm.ee users being banned on hexbear.net, meaning that they won’t see any Hexbearian’s reply to them since Hexbearians aren’t able to see their comments. Despite this, I have yet to see the complaints from lemm.ee die down. May I politely ask, what is it that makes so many lemm.ee users hate us? And, how can we improve? Thanks!

I humbly request that all parties involved in the comments refrain from using slurs or name-calling to reduce the workload on mods and admins.

    The politics of chapos on reddit always confused me and it continues. It doesn’t seem consistent and it’s a bit odd how they seem to oppose and even hate US liberals and Democrats more than their theoretical ideological opposites, fascist republicans.

      Because they are the opposite of the alt-right: they are the alt-left. They are not actually leftist, just like the alt-right isn’t actually conservative. They are both just plain fascist.

        Seriously, go look at their instance, especially the political stuff. It is exactly like the alt-right, except instead of trying to get conservatives to sympathize with Hitler, they’re trying to get liberals to sympathize with Pootin and Whinnie the Pooh.

        Gotta stay aware, friend. I hate what the term has become, but that’s what “woke” actually is.

          Definitely not what ‘woke’ is. Now these jerkoffs may be claiming these terms and doing what they want with them. But that’s not historically what the term means or is about.

            It is historically what the term means and is about. It was first a call to wake up and recognize the power of the labor movement (early 1900s) and was then borrowed by black activists to stay aware of racial injustices (1920s). It means to pay the fuck attention to what the fuck is really going on. End of story.
