i just woke up, and this is a little test - i just got banned from !slop@hexbear.net, and i’m NOT even sure if this is the right community to post this on. does anyone know?
that said, first off, i would like to sincerely apologize for calling the genocide over in gaza a “feud”. i called it a feud because the countries of israel and palestine have been a war, but i realize now that me calling it a “feud” is sort of an understatement and is a bit insensitive. oh and i WASN’T pulling the ol ‘both sides are bad’ card - i strongly support palestine in this war in gaza.
secondly, i sincerely promise to act in good faith and learn a bit more when it comes to socialism/communism. i sincerely hope you forgive me.
if anyone has any resources to watch without losing focus, i’d appreciate it. thank you!
edit: i just edited the slop link. seriously!
Hexbear is run and populated by toxic extremists largely unable to deal with middle ground and a spectrum of opinion, last I checked. I’d consider this a fortuitous omen to block the whole instance and dust your hands off as a job well done.
shhh, DON’T say that, you’re gonna get the hexbear people angry!
I’d heard about them before, but prefer to reserve judgement until I see things with my own eyes, or at least directly see how they’re treating others.
Eventually, at my community, I posted a comic examining some of the various self-strife between Israeli folk, and from out of nowhere 3-4 Hexbear users who’d never taken part before materialised and began ranting about Israel and calling me and the community some pretty awful things. After that, I started paying a little more attention to their user comments across the Fediverse. Just… yikes.
