If you’re gonna use violence to enforce your will I’m gonna call you an asshole.
You're calling everyone who ever fought for their liberation assholes. Could it be you're the asshole?
Hexbear is the most trans-inclusive and minority respectful internet community I've ever been to. I keep seeing people talking about it like it's the gateway to hell but it's usually a pretty friendly place when I've gone there, they just have... unorthodox politics and don't back down when pressed. First time I went there I was a little disappointed to find it wasn't full of demons gnawing on the bones of the innocent but was actually just a pretty chill place. And their news megathread has a lot people from 3rd world countries posting world news I don't see other places which is mainly why I keep checking in there.
It’s a little wild to tell someone they should spend this energy doing something about it instead of writing
That's not what freagle said though. The argument wasn't that jjj shouldn't write or that they shouldn't try to influence people, the argument was that they shouldn't be wasting their time and energy trying to influence people to vote because voting is ultimately useless. Freagle never said that trying to influence people period is a waste. So no, what they said did not ring hollow and there was no hypocrisy in writing a long a comment explaining why it is a waste to try to get people to vote or to vote a certain way.
You either didn't understand or deliberately mischaracterized what freagle was actually saying so you can't claim it was just constructive criticism.
I just want to say it is so refreshing to finally see a comment from someone who genuinely understands power and oppression finally shine through in a thread that has been so muddled and confused it's been maddening to read.
I think at least part of that comes from the fact that the most vocal feminist and anti-misogynist (and ant-racism, etc.) instances get defederated by the admins of big instances like .world which tends to concentrate the more reactionary elements into instances like .world even though it has the larger user base. Since the people who would tend to be the most vocal fighting back against the dudebro types are in a different section of the fediverse that .world cuts itself off from, those voices aren't heard and so the bigger chunk of lemmy (.world) gets a well deserved reputation for being worse than reddit in terms of crying, fragile (and white) men being overrepresented in the user base.
Ikr? Just for starters, using Operation Paperclip as an example of something good and positive to back up your point, when supposedly your reasoning for defederation is based on the concept of the Nazi bar? That is some seriously wild pro-fash hypocrisy.
