Seems people frequently talk about negative experiences of them then end up banned shortly after
Also seems like people are weirdly quick to jump to their defense for the internet

I checked Hexbear a couple of times in the last weeks and although they brand themselfs as some lefty/communist/socialist community, I always thought it felt more like some edgelords being against for the sake of being against. Also the tone is pretty rude and made me think of certain Subreddits I usually avoided back when I was on Reddit.
It seems to be very heavy on edge but very light on actual Marxist discussion.
My wife describes that as being a pizza cutter, all edge, no point.
Go check what’s happening on shitjustworks instance currently and say that again. It’s absolutely not just a problem of “posting culture”, that’s downplaying who they are and what they do.
They’re just straight up toxic 99% of the time and they don’t seem to want to do anything about it. It’s a resounding echo of a sentiment on most Lemmy instances that it is how they act and yet, I still see weird and factually wrong takes like this.

Point being that simply calling it a different “posting cultures” isn’t just semantic, it’s downplaying what they do.
We shouldn’t downplay racists, genocide deniers and trolls.

Calling them just “fighters” is downplaying. Calling that a simple “culture”, instead using the proper call out like I did, is downplaying.
You telling me to engage and then baffled that I “dig” is making you look like them more and more.
It is technically “culture”. It is far from being only that though, and you somehow chose the least incriminating word to describe them.
That is baffling imo.
