communist trans girltwink who has a fuck load of simps ever since i posted pics of me naked on the internet
The point about community size is fair enough, and that’s on me for not considering it. It’s worth noting though we actually had programming.dev removed from our white list so that hexbear users couldn’t see their posts for previous cases of unmoderated transphobia but for some reason the mods decided to readd it at some point, idk why
Trans hexbear user here, here’s the estradiol I bought as a bit so I could extra convincingly fake my dysphoria for years to troll the liberals or whatever the fuck you think is happening
I personally know many of the trans users on the site and have met a few of them irl (genuinely, if you give me a name I can probably personally confirm that they’re trans), they’ve given me a great deal of support in helping me transition and advising me on different methods of hrt, relative costs, etcetera. Even the site’s few cishet users have been unflinching in their support of trans rights.
For someone who I’ve seen no indication is trans to imply that the instance with the most trans people on lemmy is actually primarily just conservative cis larpers who went 3 and a half years pretending to be trans to each other in an echo chamber and taking hrt and doing fundraisers for trans charities and holding weekly reading groups of queer theory and banning any suspected transphobia on the spot just to make cis liberals feel bad by calling them out for misgendering and not giving a shit about how transphobes feel is just completely transphobic in of itself.
If a hexbear user said the shit that the user in the screenshot said but about blahaj they’d have their comment removed on the spot and would be banned from the comm at least, if not banned from the site. We moderate far more harshly than blahaj zone does and that’s what made us a notably trans positive space years before this Lemmy instance was created. I had two cases of chasers in my replies from this instance in the short window that we were federated and both of them only had their comment deleted with no additional measures taken, on the other hand, about two weeks ago I had the first chaser in my dms I’d ever gotten over two years on the site from another hexbear.net account so I reported it and within less than an hour he’d been banned site wide and had his account removed with no option for appeal despite his account being an entire year old.
Second comment:
This is a massive exaggeration and mischaracterization of what I said. I was describing a possibility, and think it is likely that some not most or all people fit my description. Are you attempting to imply there are zero cis conservative larpers on that Instance or something? That would be surprising to me, given this is the internet, but I will admit that it is possible.
Hexbear has existed for years and from the moment of its creation was basically under attack from /pol/, users of thedonald (there were some hexbear users that made a practice of finding Nazis on the Donald and doxxing them plus getting them fired by sending copies of their online footprint to their employers, so thedonald retaliated) and also what would later establish itself as the MAGA communist / patsoc movement (think people like Haz, Caleb Maupin, Jackson Hinkle, Midwestern Marx, etcetera - Haz actually made an account on hexbear back when it was called chapo.chat and very quickly got banned) though at the time we all called them stupidpollers because iirc they had a pretty big overlap with users of r/stupidpol, we also had one nazi called silver legion who kept harassing users and pretending if any of them left that they were actually secret silver legion agents leaving to decrease the morale of the site, also he kept doing holocaust denial and kept getting banned and making new accounts. During this time the site was repeatedly ddossed, users were doxxed and harassed in their DMs by Nazis (trans users were especially targeted), and a form of trolling that was called Kerry posting at the time became common (repeatedly posting very large images of the 2004 Democrat nominee for the presidency John Kerry to slow the site down - in retrospect this one is pretty funny ngl and has become a core part of site lore nowadays).
Basically we’ve had far more experience with sniffing out people trying to infiltrate our spaces than any other instance on lemmy, so I’m willing to say that I don’t believe there’s a single conservative person pretending to be trans on our instance. We’ve had two over the last half year or so and both of them got called out and banned in a bit over a week.
But to circle back around to the specific claim the person in the screenshot made that you’re backing up, they’re saying that there’s a 60% chance that none of our users are trans and that we’re all just pretending, also implying that the users in the programming dev thread that started all this drama specifically were themselves faking being trans to make the mod feel bad. I’m going to go through the thread and check each username but from the ones I recognised all of them I personally know to be trans.

Objective shitjustworks post calling out the military industrial complex
hexbear dork spreading kremlin misinformation by attacking the pro-democracy lethal aid suppliers
I know a trans woman who got told pre-transition that she looked too feminine to be shirtless at the beach and that she had to wear a t shirt or leave by a coastguard or policeman (I can’t remember which it was at this point)
how does this stack up against other countries?
We’re just going to get Don’t Mess With the Zohan 2 but in a ‘shoot then cry’ kind of way
Lemmy.ml added them at some point I think, because when I checked over on their instance they were using the r-slur
imo there’s a big difference between someone venting about a desire for racial supremacy over people they see as genetic inferiors born to serve them with an overblown provocative statement, and people venting about being frustrated with men being misogynistic creeps to them with an overblown provocative statement.
Especially since my original post wasn’t even saying “kill all men”, I just used it as an example, like, I don’t think that all cis men are bad, there are plenty of great ones, but I’ve had enough older cis men tell me how “incredibly r*peable” I look in DMs or send me unsolicited dick pics and stuff, and like had another one being a creep at me earlier today, that I was feeling more frustrated with them earlier. So forgive me for inserting some of my frustration into a comment barely anyone will see under some random meme.
It was just a dumb joke, not something meant to be serious.
Take it like “kill all men” statements, when people say that they’re not suggesting a serious and coherent plan for the mass genocide of half the human population, they’re just venting frustration about men being dicks to them in their personal life

Here’s someone in this thread posting a meme that celebrates the fascist dictator Pinochet killing ~10,000 to 30,000 communists and communist sympathisers as well as “students, militants, trade unionists, writers, journalists, artists and any citizens suspected of being left-wing activists”
Unironically, enforce mandatory pronoun tags on Reddit then immediately give any cishet he/him a 3 day time out (was going to add on a bit going “the second he does X” but ngl, I think just a blanket temporary suspension approach would work way better until we figure this whole he/him thing out)
You know that’s a fascist meme right? And that right now you’re celebrating a fascist dictator doing mass killing of civilians just because (alongside the thousands of dead union members, democratic socialists, reporters, human rights protesters and students) he also killed thousands of marxist leninists and their sympathisers

Yeah thats me in the first two links, this is the initial reply I got on my blahåj account accusing me of being chaserphobic, which I ended up discussing with Ada in DMs about it and her removing the comment
And the other person was just some weird kid who kept following me from post to post calling me m’lady. After discussing this with Ada in DMs she said that she hadn’t seen the report because of defederation but she’d get to dealing with the problem
I’m sympathetic to Ada because like she is very clearly trying her best but the influx of users from 196 has absolutely made it have a chaser problem. Imo though blahaj is fine as long as you block the 196 comm, I’ve been posting on my alt there a bit more bcs there’s less of a constant struggle vibe going on there than there is in hexbear even if the moderation isn’t quite as good imo.

The user you’re responding to is a long time anarchist who’s been active in various indigenous anarchist orgs for at least the last several years and has hosted multiple fund raiders for them through the site. He’s not exactly a tankie unless you consider him being rude and praising the number one landlord basher a single time to instantly outweigh all the anarchist praxis he’s been doing for years.
