There you go again caring about which political party takes credit. Repeating the same fallacy over and over again only works on idiots, meaning the vast majority of humanity. See: The Engineering of Consent (1947), The Manufacturing of Consent (1988).

Think more, reactionary. It’s not rocket science. It’s not even algebra.

All this anti-third party logic fails as soon as the goal is outcomes regardless of which political party ends up taking credit. Just 5% of the GE puts another platform on every ballot in the next cycle. And, that immediately places immense pressure upon the duopoly.

It’s so simple there’s now a massive amount of state-sponsored propaganda trying to prevent too many from figuring it out.

All the lukewarm attempts to help, rooted in shallow understanding, reinforced my suicidal ideation. What’s the value of false love from a paid hotline worker one will never speak to again? It’s negative.

Be ready to love the shit out of someone yourself. Share their sorrow. Don’t try to fix it. Just try to understand. It’ll fucking suck. The other person knows it sucks for you. Tell them it sucks and that you’re choosing it.

I’m just a guy.

As usual: The headline sucks.

Capital reserves for the largest banks will increase by 9% instead of the proposed 19%. I expect the Fed rate to be lowered to soften the blow despite nearly every historical indicator saying otherwise.

This is possible because… well… check out these other comments.

I saw crypto from home screen to settings. While anecdotal, that made them very difficult to trust.

Communist revolution because capitalism has failed as predicted is the primary and public point of community unification for hexbear. Your assertions are laughable.

You delivered nonsense without even considering semantic. You felt entitled to others figuring it out for you. And, you were rejected due to your lack of effort.

I’ll now reject you for gaslighting me about your comments, which I’ve read, and the follow up strawman.

It’s simply not good enough. I don’t care why. But, I know you’ve nothing to contribute but practice material for identifying logical fallacy.

You’ve forgotten to mention the minority that did not agree and how strongly they believed they were correct. You’ve seemingly not considered that democracy’s best case scenario is mediocrity.

We will not be led by or stagnate upon popularity among the lumpen. Democracy be damned when faced with such a threat.

Predictable responses, now assigning me intent. I’ll no longer disturb your comfortable order. Best of luck, neolib.

Did I fault your content or your presentation of it?

Nice strawman. You just can’t help yourself.

Here’s the vote that approved the granular instance-by-instance approach

And then what happened? It seems like you were present for awhile but perhaps not in the trenches, through the OpSec, and to the end.

What?

Indeed.

Are you describing the consensus building and struggle sessions as “forcing the wisest decision on everyone”?

Q: Why did hexbear brigade the fediverse?

A: Certainly for the lulz. /s

Definitely not a neolib

Language analysis of your post history says differently. If you’re not a neolib troll then perhaps you should stop presenting as such.

Yes.

If I invest effort into figuring it out for myself and demonstrate that effort in the quality of my questions then nearly every teacher will at least match my investment. In the US teachers are so starved for good students that one-on-one education is free, from philosophy professors to diesel mechanics. I don’t even need be past the “nonsense” stage, only recognize my status and ask what pieces of the puzzle I’m missing.

edit: fixed a change from first to third person for clarity

Hexbear was the only lemmy for 4 years, over that time their code base diverged, it took a few months to make federation possible again… a lot of users opposed federation concerns about harassment or just valuing one of the few leftist communities. The end result was slow federation, with users suggesting specific instances to federate with, and instances getting defederated if the admins failed to take adequate action against transphobes/chasers.

Now there’s two of us that are speaking truth.

Half this thread is hexbears and others telling people exactly what they believe about random topics.

Are they? That wouldn’t be thematically consistent with their years of telling others what they’d like to hear for their entertainment. Their culture is selfish in that way.

There was never a consensus on whether HB should be segregated

There was never formal consensus in that leadership repeatedly denied the vote, favoring a granular, instance-by-instance approach.

What are you talking about?

An organized, grassroots movement that employed questionable means to force the wisest decision upon leadership and everyone else.

Hello, low effort neolib troll. Thanks for the opportunity to continue to speak truth.

There’s a cultural similarity to what 4-chan was prior to the LOIC. But, they’re definitely not tankies. Sincere expressions of authoritarian means are soundly defeated and usually result in permabans. The principle and practice is consistent for MAGA, neolibs, and other authoritarians.
