          Not from what I’ve seen, it’s just not tolerant of liberalism.

          There, I fixed it for you.

            Not in my experience, they are very tolerant towards Marxists, Anarchists, trans people, etc. Liberalism is bannable, though.

              Well yes they just label anyone who they want to be removed a “liberal”, like they did with me.

                  Sure, whatever. That’s their prerogative. But if you also insult me and delete my comments explaining our position so as to allow your disinfo the fester all the better, I might just call you a disingenuous pos

                  Edit to say, that being a loud mouth is not a “liberal” or “reactionary” either 😁

                What do you mean? Lemmy itself was made by Communists along Communist principles, people usually defederate from Hexbear because they are rowdy.

                    This comment is a hot mess because you used “liberal” as the implied opposite of conservative, but that isn’t the definition @Cowbee@lemmy.ml implied when talking about hexbear, or at least that isn’t how he bear defines it.

                    I really wish we could have some better descriptive words in these communities. “Tankie” is equally meaningless and confusing.

                    So the common american usage is liberal = leftist (or whatever counts for leftist)

                    On hexbear (and elsewhere) liberal is just the centrist of the conservative capitalists. By this definition, every politician in america is a liberal, whether democrat, republican, or independent, since they are all capitalists (if any of them aren’t liberal, it’s because they are too small to be relevant or because they are just blatant fascists). Anyone who isn’t anticapitalist is conservative by that standard.

                    I could be wrong in some of what I said I’m just trying to help clarify but I’m not perfect lol please don’t take this as an attempt to argue

          I believed that, myself, for quite some time. I ended up blocking them, however, despite being an anarcho-syndicalist. The instance has very much cultivated a toxic and anti-social culture where the most active users are climbing over eachother for a chance to “dunk” on someone.

          Just like right-wingers abuse outrage to get a rush some of the polygonimals clearly have become addicted to aggressive behaviors, with the rush from bullying and dunking being rather apparently more important than leftism. It’s a problem.

          Additionally, their claims of anti-sectarianism and dialectics do not hold water when they are quick to label dissenting leftists as libs so that they can justify bans for those who don’t toe the line.
