As a reminder breaking hexbear’s code of conduct on other instances will result in action on hexbear
Why does this remind of bs like America and Eritrea taxing their citizens on income made anywhere in the world and countries like Singapore drug testing returning residents at their borders to throw them in jail if tested positive
not really the same, since you are always browsing through here, using hexbear servers. If you actually browse to another server and make an account there that would be different
Kinda is the same, since when you travel or emigrate with a US passport, you’re doing so as an imperial citizen
My opinion is feel free to dunk as much lib in another instance as you want, but do it with an account on that instance. This serves many purposes. If you get away with it, it helps change outside opinions on that instance leading others to think your take represents that instance. It helps you get away with it because mods are more likely to think you’re part of their community, as do the users. They will be more likely to take your take seriously. This also helps keep the heat from Hexbear more generally. It also helps keep everyone federated, which maybe you think is good or maybe not, but trying to force defederation by being an ass all over on a Hexbear account is honestly pretty poor form anyway
It’s simple combo of opsec and image. Keep yourself clean on the Hexbear side and make your mess locally to that instance. It’s what they do to us. Don’t make it easier on the libs by showing up in your Hexbear uniform. To dunk the lib in their house you must first pretend to be the lib
When I’m in other comms I like to treat it like I’m back on Reddit. Check their TOS and etiquette guide, then check the sidebar for the individual subcomm I’m in to be 100% sure.
Are folks really out here not doing that? I mean, were a guest in their house, we gotta follow their rules.
I know I’m old and boring, but I have been tempted to jump into threads and ask Hexbeariums to chill out with he dunking. I think that informed debate does more than dunking, and spreads the message better.
I get it. Libs suck, and many of them aren’t debating us in reasonable fashion. They probably deserve it, but often 20 comments of PPB and other one-liners under one thread just makes us look a bit silly.
I think that informed debate does more than dunking, and spreads the message better.
Not to be an enlightened centrist, but we need both tactics. Informed debate is definitely important, but so is hardcore dunking. Different tactics click with different people. But I agree, there needs to be a balance and right now it feels like it’s weighted too much towards repeated PPB (which imo should be reserved only for the more egregious bad faith arguments).
None joke: I am trying but it is legit hard sometimes.
I’m trying so hard but I think I’m going to last at most three more days until I start copping bans. I just start seeing red and hearing Rise Against playing the internationale and when I come to my screen is covered in a pig pooping on it’s own balls!
It’s in the intro of the song “the numbers” if you want a serious answer. First song in the album"nowhere generation". Unfortunately it’s a sample, they don’t actually play it.
Are Rise Against considered a protest band these days? I love them musically, but thought the fact they went corporate with the major labels years ago would put people off here.
