In their general rules:
Any pictures of food containing animal products, including but not limited to meat, cheese, or egg, must be tagged nsfw along with food discussion content warnings (CW: Food).
Animal Liberation is essential to any leftist movement, including platforms like Hexbear. Volunteers, comments, and posts, should not be anti-vegan, although users and volunteers are not required to be vegan.
Wow. Just wow. That is so far beyond leftist.
It’s like if Fox News was to create a leftist website. It smells so fake.

Trumps campaign got off the ground from internet memes and satire groups on places like 4chan and reddit. There’s so many idiots out there looking for something to grasp onto and make their identity. You can’t get a satire/parody group too large or it breaths life of it’s own.
Poes law: without a clear indicator of the author’s intent, any parodic or sarcastic expression of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of those views.
Nah, they still hate xenogender people and neopronoun users. They’re very real and somewhat liberal.
A lot of the “leftists” on lemmy seem to be pro china radlibs
Oh they would try if it could make more money.
I don’t know, you see a cow being shot and cut up, it’s NSFW. You put some parsley on it, it’s now food.
Yeah. That’s how that works
That’s generally how human brains work. We’re capable of switching empathy on and off, allowing us to both hunt and love animals, protect our group and fight the others, be careful not to hurt others and perform surgery… People are paradoxical creatures.
I love your name
The feelings are mutual.
That’s so far left, it’s behind

They’re transphobic? That’s almost as bad as being vegan! /s But seriously, I hadn’t known that.

Maybe we should be putting people into cages and harvest and sell their organs… I mean why not ? It’s not like humans are different from animals ¯_ (ツ) _/¯
Well, I’m so glad you volunteered! … No, really. Very glad. Right this way…
I am glad the animals volunteered too! :-)
I believe they do, yes. It’s done to out anti-trans people, making them easy to spot as they complain loudly about being forced to.
rare hexbear W
I mean, it’s unverifiable and unenforceable. Personally, I wouldn’t sign up for anything that requires identifying myself like that. I can just look at someone’s comment history to see if they’re strongly pro or anti tolerance. As it stands, this has as much value as as North Korea calling themselves democratic.
Unverifiable maybe, unenforceable, no. They simply ban anyone who refuses.
What if I just lie?
The point is not to make you reveal your gender, but to make you explicitly choose a gender, thus normalising the idea that gender should not be assumed. Transphobes will object to this and get banned. At least, that’s the theory.
I just default to gender neutral terms if context clues don’t suggest a specific one.
Just make a rule that transphobes and other bigots will be banned like everyone else.
Just make a rule that transphobes and other bigots will be banned like everyone else.
And how do the mods find the transphobes to ban them? They’ll have to wait for an argument to happen and someone to complain about it. Waste of everyone’s time. This way transphobes will get triggered when they try to sign up, throw a tantrum, and get banned. That’s the plan; I have no idea whether it works in practice.
what if I honestly dgaf and prefer that people call me whatever they want?
It’s pretty common for hb users to have “any/all” or “none/username”. It’s not a hindrance.
“Any” is probably fine. It tends to be my choice. That said, you’re better off just not using Hexbear. Ya know, unless you’re chill with things like genocide.
Then you put that I guess.
they/them I guess.
Yes
It’s part of the signing up process. I’ve seen people without them, but it’s very rare. There’s probably a grace period.
What if my preferred pronouns are to not have any?
None/use name seems to be an option aswell
Shadow the Hedgehog.
How should people refer to you in the third person? It’s okay to use one’s name as the preferred pronoun.
That is odd. I usually prefer when people talk with me instead of about me.
No one’s talking about you
I’m sorry, I don’t understand what you mean in relation to what I said.
Were talking pronouns as part of the sign up process.
@[email protected] says that @[email protected] would rather like to be tagged and be part of the conversation, instead of having people talk behind @[email protected]’s back.
It’s likely meant to be seen as a witty remark, and not a statement. :)
Why is being witty the default stance, instead of an honest statement?
Because what you said doesn’t make any sense if you were being serious.
Writing out a person’s full name/tag every time you reference them is not practical (see my previous comment), so one wouldn’t give this as reason against third person references in a serious discussion.
If the genesis of the entire issue with chosen pronouns is about basic respect, personal convinience can take a back seat and we can adress a person by name.
But then again, I’m often viewed as petty in my personal peeves.
Better to just not talk about someone and instead just talk with the person.
Id rather you just stop talking altogether
So it’s easier to say thoim/shlu instead of ekky?
They’re a satire of failed marxist extremists that hate everyone and everything. Just block them and move on.
I don’t paint with such a broad brush. I welcome differing opinions on my social media feed.
