Well the crackdown of leftist spaces on Reddit continues.
Cheer for the deaths of Palestinian children? -> Well that is just their opinion and we accept all on .
Cheer for the operation no_of_fascists_in_world -= 1
? -> You leftist are disgusting for cheering for PoLiTiCaL vIoLeNcE
I hope some people from reddit make it to here or to lemmygrad.ml, in my eyes they are welcome here
just moved to lemmy permanently after deprogram got banned, good riddance tbh. hello there guys! :]
Hieroglyphics commemorating a great migration:
the more the merrier :D
welcome to scary commie/anarchie bear site, origionally known as hexbear, origionally known as chapo.chat, origionally known as c/chapotraphouse.
This is still chapo chat
oh alrighty, good to know :]
wonder what the next name’ll be. hopefully the sectarianism isn’t too bad here, so far things are looking pretty neat! :D
We try to keep the anarchism-communism slapfighting to a minimum and intra-ideology slapfighting on the hush-hush. The most you’d have to worry about is the site-wide wildfire arguments over the most random things such as stacking rocks or the morality of indoor cats vs outdoor cats.
oh damn, seems like i’m in luck. i have a LOT of strong feelings about outdoor cats (those fuckin bird-killers). looks like i’ll like it here :)
Thank god, the new comrades have good opinions
for every cat let outdoors i build another bird feeder
Good. Outdoor cats are hungry bois, so they need all the bait feeders they can get.
he just wants to touch grass tho /j
outdoor cats are eco-terrorists and should be treated as such /big j
Welcome to the fedieverse! I’m kinda jealous that your Cakeday is 9/11
You’re just in time for the yearly
celebrations, and the yearly Salvador Allende mourning, though another funny thing overshadows them this year. Feel free to ask questions about the Fediverse. Hexbear is mainly federated with lemmygrad.ml and lemmy.ml, that means the reach/amount of content is not too big here. There are a lot of instances that have defederated us or we defederated them, mostly due to being shitlibs.
man, today sure is chaotic, innit? i’m grateful for the warm welcome, means a lot :3
first impressions are pretty great, although my main concern is how echochamber-y this place might be. probably not any worse than reddit, although who knows. i’m curious if there’s any specific place on here for book recs/ community organizing tips?
Well, echochambers will arise in most forms of social media, though we have struggle sessions here. Sometimes about important things sometimes about less important things
There is a very nice post about theory recommendations by @Cowbee@hexbear.net.
Thanks for the shoutout comrade!
@zipper@hexbear.net I’ve argued that it’s pretty impossible to create a true echo-chamber for leftists in the english-speaking internet. The overwhelming majority of us can’t actually avoid engaging with liberalism in our day-to-day lives, so shutting out reactionaries from our spaces doesn’t actually risk anything of value. In fact, it protects our marginalized comrades! We aren’t perfect, but Hex is one of the best online communities I interact with, no question!
As for my theory list, it’s my personal list. It’s an ML list with a heavy dose of Red Sails influence. I think that’s a pretty common position around here, but we also have anarchists and other forms of Marxists!
i think that’s a fair point to make. i’ve had enough experience with twitter to know how quickly propaganda can spread, especially in a community where political takes are rarely if ever contested. which is why i’ve been a bit iffy initially to moving to a platform where only one side of the political aisle can participate, thinking that it would turn me into one of those 4chan nuts who seem to get off to the most brain-dead, asinine takes ever conceived. but what the american dems taught me is that constantly trying to hear neocons out and compromising at every turn is a futile endeavor, and developing your own ideological framework among people with similar values is the only thing that brings about actual results.
i’m still familiarizing myself with political thought (and not just political social media slop) so i’m cautious of the things i read online/ the communities i participate in. the last thing i wanna become is a liberal who thinks that writing clever posters to take to their cop-permitted midday hangout and having flags in their bio constitutes as “resistance”. barf. this place is pretty small and it seems like most people here are familiar with one another. i like that. maybe i might even start a community organizing 101 type of thing. lefties really need to learn how to get together.
hope everyone reading this has a day full of joy and whimsy <3
Sounds cool! A lot of us are in orgs like
or others, we absolutely push getting organized!
down here in aus, our leftist scene is bleak at best. i guess we’ve got the socialist party but by some accounts they’re a bit cultish on the inside (think ACP). my city in particular sucks bootycheeks when it comes to anything left-wing related so if i want anything to happen i’ve gotta do it myself. wish me luck i s’pose :P
fair enough, thank you for the pointers :3
Lfg
it’s been a long time coming, hope you have a great day :]
Welcome, check our movie com daily for our schedule if you want to join us watching movies
We’re watching Road House in a few minutes
i’m bout to head to work, timezones suck :[ might watch the movie on my own once i’m home
Welcome, comrade!
glad to be here, your theory list is great!
Thanks! Feel free to leave any feedback you feel like!
welcome!!! :D
hi hi hey hello!!! :3c
HI
HELLO!!!
welcome nerd
i’m the biggest nerd of all. is there a book club?
Yes in c/theory https://hexbear.net/post/6106165 they are currently reading Capital and How Europe Underdeveloped Africa, by Walter Rodney
here is a post with all hexbear comms, also you can search for the comms of other instances on the search bar or selecting All in the main page
oh jeez, seems like i’m a bit late; they’re on volume 3 already. i’ll try catching up, thank you for your help :]
I’m still catching up to volume 3 and I’m leading the group, it’s okay lol. The major utility is moreso in looking at threads from last year or earlier this year and seeing what people thought about the chapters for that week.
Kids these days have it easy. Back in my day you got your subbed banned for wishing death on people who died 200 years ago.
Libs can’t handle brown posting, it’s just too strong.
That reminds me:
Death to all slavers! May his soul march on in the army of our lord
Hell yeah. Actually, since we’re not on Reddit anymore, I can say I am going to kill any slave owners I come across. That’s an actionable threat. Don’t wanna get got, don’t own slaves
Secret service is now gonna pay you a visit for death threats against the Clintons
As if Trump did not have slaves
There’s a deprogram comm on the grad btw
Oh wow! I did not know that thanks!
I should look more on grad, I mostly stick to the news mega
I 100% agree with your username lol
They killed Charlie Kirk!
Tankie lies! It’s not in Charlie’s rational self interest to get his neck shredded and then bleed out like a beta. So why would he do that?
…time to private r/greenandpleasant for a bit I think
is greenandpleasant on lemmy? it may be smart to slowly migrate the sub to lemmy just in case
That would be the most reasonable cause of action, If you want to keep that subreddit
I’m not prepared for another influx of reddit gabagols
To be fair, it was a pretty decent sub overall. A bit too gen-z for my decrepit old ass, but decent.
The sub overall was decent. You’re right that a big influx of new people in a short time period can be very bad for our existing community, but they are already on the left so it seems doable to me. Though it would take some effort (and hopefully not too many struggle sessions)
won’t be a problem, genuinely it’s hard to lifeboat an already banned sub, the best you can do is post on the discord/subs that deprogram users would likely use, which would prolly get the eyes of like 10-20% of the affected userbase if that
most other lifeboat stuff I’ve seen had warnings/quarantine stages, this one was an old one and doner for the ghost of the kirkster
ShitLiberalsSay might for sure be next, pls don’t let that happen 🙏🏽

this is our second 9/ 11 tragedy (counting allande not twin towers lol). a second leftist sub was banned
