Mine is not blocked yet. I am definitely worried about this though. I am in East Asia.

Wonder how much YouTube is going to squeeze out of this ad blocker blocking.

says the hexbear while brigading

You are literally a Chinese propaganda swallower.

Hope that clears it up.

You are also begging to be banned. Your comment calling someone a “comprador” is to be removed too.

ok sure

Why does 50% of hexbears tell people they don’t like to go back to reddit? I am never going back.

now you’re trolling too

Just in case you didn’t know, your comment along with the other replies are a perfect example of brigading.

Yes, I listed Taiwan separately from China.

East Asian here. I think the term is fine.

Not saying that this is a bad thing, but it’s kind of amazing how opinions of the public can shift so drastically within a month: https://lemmy.ml/post/2080934. Last month another user posted in the very same !unixporn@lemmy.ml asking whether people consider the term “rice” racist. The majority opinion back then was “if you get offended over a term like this you should take a break from the Internet.”

400 comments total is rookie numbers. You should check out the news posts involving either Russia, China, or Taiwan. Or check out this post where the admins of lemm.ee asked for the users’ opinions of whether to defederate from hexbear.net. There are 1884 comments. (There was once more than 1900 comments, but I guess the mods removed some.)

Thanks for the invitation. Though I’ve had plenty of unpleasant encounters with hexbears, I think I’ll stay on lemm.ee for now. Maybe I’ll move in the future when things get even worse.

I know that they have not been defederated from lemm.ee. I meant that I hope lemm.ee defederates from them in the future.

I hope mine, lemm.ee, defederates from those instances too

If you think lemmy.ml is full of tankies, you should check out https://lemmygrad.ml and https://hexbear.net. They are a hundred times worse

Yeah, compared to Hexbears, Lemmygradians are pretty mild. Just look up any post about Taiwan on Lemmy (don’t use Lemmy.world for this as they have blocked hexbear.net), and observe how more than 90% of comments are by Hexbears.

yay unixporn is back

It’s the reverse, actually. Story writers modeled super villains after these people.

I think I comment quite a lot but rarely post. does that count as lurking?
