Why is this instance federated with HexBear.net?

cross-posted from: https://programming.dev/post/1797629

Some communities there are literally calling for the annihilation of Ukraine

https://programming.dev/comment/1999097

edit: Since people are either willfully or otherwose are missing my point, this is a pro-russia, pro-fascist hate group, therefore we shouldn't give them the platform to spread their shit. this is not about me seeing their community or then causing issues accross other communities, it's about de-platforming fascists.

The link for the original doesn't seem to work. I assume there's some missing context here. Still funny that they're calling hexbear pro-Russia and fascist. The comment isn't even by a hexbear. It's by one of ours.

  • I don't know what's worse in that thread, the person who thinks we're fascists because we support Russia, or the person who thinks Russia is moving back towards communism (socialism)

    • To be fair, those have been somewhat common liberal takes regarding the war.

      They think any use of "authoritarianism" is inherently Fascist, so the USSR and its supporters are Fascists. And if Russia is, supposedly, returning to being an authoritarian regime and expanding its borders, it must be returning to the USSR.

      it's such an uneducated take, and makes me furious at our schooling systems.

      • You'd think it was just western schooling, but nope. I've heard the whole "Putin is building USSR 2.0" from people in Russia. From adult people. Adult people who had actually lived in USSR. In a negative key. Yeah

    • I've even met people who appear to think Russia is communist right now, like they slept through the whole USSR collapse or something.

  • Ukraine should not be destroyed, and should exist as a union republic within a union of soviet socialist republics.

    i-think-that

  • Person proudly proclaiming that they prefer an all feed with exploding heads

    I need to be careful which links I click, this one almost blew up my hitler-detector

  • Do chuds really think that we love liberal Russia that was built on top of the corpse of the Soviet Union? Built by the Chicago School and cooperative robber-barons?

    We keep repeating that we hate Nazis and western imperialism, and this is something we have been collectively saying for close to a hundred years. They still don't get it.

    • Like the old r/genzedong meme had it --

      Lib says "I don't like post-Soviet Russia." Communist says: "Oh yeah? Then why the hell did you ask for it?"

  • classic liberal "It doesn't comprise the views provided to me by my preferred propaganda source, therefore it must be the opposite of what I see myself being, and is thus Fascism" take there.

    And if they cared to read the thread, comrades explained positions and provided sources. They'd've seen that Ukraine is a Fascist state, and to defend it is ultimately a pro-Fascist stance.

    edit:: I went and read the thread from the programing.dev post, and my god i haven't seen horseshoe theory that strong in a very long time. Seems like people over there think anyone who isn't them is a Fascist.

  • programming.dev has sent us a silly post. lenin-laugh

  • If they start answering “How do I control an ESCPOS receipt printer through Javascript?” with “Nuke Kyiv”, then maybe do so [defederate].

    New response just dropped.

  • There's a lot to be said in favour of federation, and the innate us-them mentality that comes with the federate-defederate border control is a thing. It looks and seems like a downside, but it's far and away better than the centralized lib authority we had in places like reddit.

    Just sharing a thought that reading this thread prompted.

    • It's just sad that many of the instance owners (world, beehaw, shitjustworks) are just as reactionary as the capital owners at the head of Reddit.

  • "It's by one of ours."

    Proud of us. Good job, guys. Keep up the good work. Alright, time for some pancakes. Hexbear is invited despite allegations of stolen posting valor.
