Hexbear users are welcome here, but I’m not really willing to allow promotion of their communities.
Uhh okay whatever I didn’t even think people on this instance could see it, the link doesn’t work
If we weren’t federated with you, you wouldn’t be here.
I don’t need someone to ask me how to moderate my community. Although, I do thank you for breaking my duck.
I was actually hoping this could’ve been the start of a conversation where you’d tell me why to allow your link and restore it. Instead, you’ve tried to circumvent me and apparently brought someone in to upvote your removed comment after it was gone.
I’m still open to discussion.

Lol I just came across it on my home page, and removed comments are still visible on Sync fortunately.
You came late to the party, and only upvoted after I pointed out the downvote. The scores are getting kind of meaningless now anyway - moreso than normal, at least.
But yeah, that’s a funky bug I’m quietly aware of. It works on Jerboa as well, and a few others (but maybe not the ones that are merely web wrappers). Seems like the back end API still gives you access to comments that a user has deleted. There’s apparently 3 levels of deletion - user delete, moderator delete, and purge. I found a comment earlier that was deleted, when I looked inside it said *permanently deleted*

I didn’t really know anything about Hexbear but I’m intrigued and will check it out now I know it’s getting actively censored. What do you have against it?
Being actively against the capitalist status quo and US hegemony that’s currently committing a genocide do be like that
As a rabid homosexual man I’m a little disappointed at the lack of twink self-posting communities on Hexbear. In fact there’s not even a general gay community. I’ll think about it.
I think hexbear toned down some of their gayness ever since Putin banned being gay.
Ooooo go on then, I’ll bite. Seeing as I’m in a safe space here, and don’t have to tread on eggshells to avoid an unhinged moderator carelessly spinning Thor’s banhammer.
US hegemony that’s currently committing a genocide
How is the US committing genocide right now?
Let’s start with some facts - numbered, for your easy reply:
- The US have not been killing Palestinians. Israel have. Israel is a separate country to the US, and they do what they like. If anything, it almost seems that the US bends to Israel’s will - so it should be “an Israeli hegemony”. However, in reality, the US is merely an ally of Israel and simply is fulfilling its obligation to protect it from wider conflict. This is their motive, alongside a general incentive to keep international trade flowing for the US’ own economic interests.
- The US did not cause the famine in Yemen. It was never a US blockade. The blockade was started by Saudia Arabia in 2015, the US provided assistance as an ally but then left in 2016. Saudia Arabia was always the driving force, and has been the only force since 2016. The famine in Yemen started in late 2016, after the US pulled out.
- The US does, of course, supply weapons to their allies. But so do all sorts of other countries - why do you single the US out, specifically? They’re the biggest dog, but the other countries aren’t doing it because the US is doing it, they’re doing it because money.
I’m willing to wager that you’re ready and willing to spin anything into being the US’ fault. The reality is far more nuanced. Your hyperbole does nothing to help the situation - however it does encourage war to keep going and maybe even escalate.
The only people who will benefit from this are those that manufacture and sell weapons. Wouldn’t you know it, most of those people are in the US. Your actions are serving American capitalist war mongerers.
They’re just a bunch of assholes, to be succinct.
To give more detail, they are tankies who claim a far-left ideology. It’s like lemmygrad but a bit more crazy. But what’s really weird is that they’re very pro LGBTQ+, but at the same time support Russia (who have outlawed being gay).
Hexbear mods are pretty unhinged, in my experience. They ban people for saying anything they disagree with, usually making extraordinary claims in the modlog to justify, which in no way relate to the comment they ban. Don’t you dare suggest that Hamas was wrong to kill Israelis on 7 October, that’s genocide apologia!!
I also wonder if there’s a strong astroturfed element there. Like, they’re trying to sucker people in to an extreme ideology.
Edit: Their modlog can be quite entertaining. It seems like they’ve toned down slightly, but I still didn’t have to go that far to find claims of genocide support.
It also almost seems like they’ve purged their modlogs somewhat, as you see less detail the further you go down - although I expect that’s actually a lemmy bug (I’ve seen similar looking at user profiles). If you look at the modlogs for individual communities you might see more. However, I’d warn you that spending time there simply isn’t good for your soul.
When you roll around with pigs, you’ll both get covered in shit. The difference is the pig likes it. /pig_shitting_png_they_always_post
