“Marxism is when you make false claims about genocide in order to make a false equivocation between literal fascists and liberals, because to you both of those things are exactly the same.”

Hey, remember when you said you’d vote for the Dem candidate if Biden was replaced? How’s that going?

Most modern Marxists are supportive of “AES.”

Ah, it’s like the Bolsheviks being in the minority and declaring themselves the majority (literally what ‘Bolshevik’ means, while ‘Menshevik’, the actual majority, means minority) all over again.

Just trying to keep things alive until they’re self-sustaining! I look forward to the day when I don’t, uh, post every day.

Speaking as a mod, even speaking as a mod who’s terminally online, we can’t have eyes everywhere at once. Somewhere, in the depths of the comment chains, we always miss something, or skim over it. Reporting isn’t adding to our work load (generally), it’s a great help. You shouldn’t hesitate to report anything that seems like it breaks the rules/expresses bigotry.

Of all the stupid, bigoted dogshit flung around by Hexbear, outright transphobia generally is not one of them.

It may be more effective to bring it up to the moderators of the individual communities where you’ve seen it. Also, generous use of the report button.

HB enthusiasts coming here and trying to call me out achieves nothing besides proving my point

Yeah, you can always count on them to brigade.

Regardless, many of us who didn’t use Tumblr for NSFW content left in solidarity with NSFW content creators, curators, and consumers. There was a very progressive attitude on Tumblr, and trying to impose puritan content restrictions to lure more advertisers didn’t sit well with the culture that had been established on Tumblr.

Remember when Verizon paid a billion dollars to ruin Tumblr and get a fraction of that back for it?

This is a pretty left-leaning platform, so you don’t generally see ‘outright’ racism.

1, 3, and 4 are all solid suggestions. But ‘post less’? The Fediverse is sparse enough as it is.

Sounds New England to my Appalachian ears.

For me, I think, to pass a report ‘up the chain’ to the admins, either to alert them of instance rules being broken (spam, questionable content, etc), or of a user abusing the report feature. ‘Report’ having more than “Yes I’ve seen it” as an option in notifications would be nice. A dedicated ‘modmail’ would be welcome too, as right now you play moderator roulette trying to figure out who to talk to when there’s more than one moderator. Oh, and a common chat room thing for mods.

Well, I’m not looking to leave .world, but custom flairs for communities and better moderation tools would be the two big ones that are missing right now.

… also, charts of views/posts per month in a community. I like seeing the squiggly lines

I’m honestly at the point where I would be more surprised if Israel didn’t abuse him in custody. That’s not to downplay the seriousness of this - only to highlight the consistency of the depravity of Israeli security forces when dealing with Palestinians.

Israel’s claims at this point are similar to Russia’s - whenever I hear them, I generally assume the opposite is true. You only get so many lies before people start seeing a pattern.

I don’t play games with rape apologists, so you’re on your own from here on out.

Point out where he was charged with rape.

When he fled Sweden, Jesus fucking Christ

It’s not even particularly believable rape apologetics you’re indulging it. Absolutely vile.

I don’t play games with rape apologists, so you’re on your own from here on out.

It’s insane the lies people will tell to defend a rapist. I don’t know why so many people are just fucking alright with rape if it’s ‘their guy’ doing it.

The rape charges literally were not dropped by the person claiming it happened, but any lie is acceptable to defend a rapist, it would seem.

Ah, celebrating the freedom of a rapist who escaped charges by playing on his fame.

Fucking wild.
