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.

Still overall net negative on the society. They'd have to raise billions to check out not a half of 1990s Honda civic

Hexbear has always been really good at supporting fedizens.

Hard to have comrades when you're an anticommunist!

Third such fundraiser in hexbear, maybe it's time to reconsider who's the worst person :P

Let me know when they'll do a fundraiser for Ukraine...

Edit: the tankies are here to brigade this thread... someone lit the fires of hexbear lol

Are three fundraisers for Palestine not good enough for you? I don't think this is the correct community or post to expose such animosity, this fundraiser is a good thing for people who are suffering under Isntreals thumb and I believe that should be the focus: if you want to own hexbears epic style, the best way to do so would be to organize your own fundraiser outside hexbear for Palestinians.

In my experience, hexbears have no animosity towards Ukrainians. I don't want to get political because this is not the appropriate comm for this, you can disagree with the geopolitical analysis of the situation with hexbears but they surely don't want Ukrainians thrown into a meat grinder (nor Russians for that matter) and have no animosity for Ukrainians as a people, in a similar way to how many people criticise the Iranian government's policy without hating on Iranian people.

No its not good enough. They've done far more damage to Palestine by advocating against Harris in 2024.

Let’s not kid ourselves $1500 is a joke and accomplishes nothing.

Hexbear banned me just for posting a meme of Bernie Sanders kissing Vladimir Putin with the caption "Tankies ❤️ Dead Palestinians".

I don't care how much money they raise. They are monsters. Inhuman, vile, irredeemable filth. Anyone who doesn't let me post in their community is the worst kind of pond scum.

Broken clock effect.

At the end of the day, they're still authoritarian bootlickers, and they should not be given any slack because they did one good deed. Fuck Hexbear. They're as evil as MAGA as far as I'm concerned.
