I keep hearing the term in political discourse, and rather than googling it, I’m asking the people who know better than Google.

    Ask with an account federated with Hexbear and Lemmygrad, and you’ll get more communist perspectives.

      I actively ban hexbear’s entire instance. I relish the fact that I simply can’t see all the hexbear responses to this thread. I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone on hexbear (pre banning) that was even remotely open to considering other viewpoints. It just became so toxic, so quick, whenever their users get involved.

        There are no hexbear responses because .world is defederated from Hexbear. Hex has little tolerance for liberalism in my experience, because that’s the default on the english-speaking internet.

          I’m confused. Maybe I don’t understand federation as well as I thought.

          ~~This post originates on .ml, right?

          So what does .world’s federation status with hexbear have to do with my ability to see hexbear posts on .ml?~~

          Edit: Ah, no, the post does in fact originate on .world so .world’s federation status with hexbear is determinant for the lack of hexbear posts, not my individual blocking of the instance.

            Yep, the comm is .ml but the poster is .world, ao it’s like it’s invisible to anyone that can’t see both .ml and .world.

        So, basically, this person is happy to blind themselves to other viewpoints to avoid viewpoints they disagree with/people they claim are blind to other viewpoints.

        … what an enlightened individual!

          Ah right - oh well, however it’s achieved I don’t have see every post in my feed turn into a discussion with two sharply defined poles: Nazis and communism.
