Some comrades over at Hexbear have organized a donation drive for Palestine and, over the past few weeks, have managed to raise over $1500 for verified Palestinian fundraisers. The fediverse is a good place full of good people.

goddamn this entire thread is annoying:

  • yes the hexbears are annoying and create problems
  • no they're not just as bad as overt fascists. their hearts are in the right place, as demonstrated by this post
  • being a scold when they do something good won't get them to do more good, it will entrench them further into the things they do that are problematic

so good job hexbears. you did something good this week. keep stuff like this going

Hexbear has always been really good at supporting fedizens.

well, at least there will be a positive effect from them for once

I've never heard of Hexbear. Care to explain?

hexbear.net is an explicitly and unapologetically instance of Lemmy. They're known for their active userbase, light trigger on banning Zionist, transphobic or even pro-western content (which angers many people who live in the west), and their love for beanis

You guys are so weird. Russia is awful for non-cis people and you're all falling over yourselves simping for them.

Many instances defederated from them because a large chunk of the user base was abusive and brigading. To an extent even the worst right wing instances federated couldn't match.

Lemmy.world defederated from hexbear "pre-emptively" before they even had federation active. To this day, I have never seen this mythical hexbear brigading.

[–] Eldritch@piefed.world 1 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Yes. And people including myself have accounts on other servers. And experienced it personally 3-4 years ago. That you didn't experience it doesn't disprove it. There's a reason many of us chose servers like world as primary, that didn't federate.

It's more often the reverse. You'll see accounts in hexbear-adjacent servers posting "Why Stalin Was Worse Than Hitler" tier content, getting banned, and then coming over to .world to scream and cry about how they've been censored by the mean Tankies.

They are no comrades of mine

[–] Riverside@reddthat.com 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Hard to have comrades when you're an anticommunist!

[–] Nalivai@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

That's exactly why hexbears don't have comrades. Simping for dictators is about the most anticommunist thing you can do.
