I got the joke

I was told me another hexbear that essentially you guys don’t believe in good faith debate on public forums, hence all the insufferable shitposting and trolling.

Just sticking to the normal level your people operate at!

Oof, guess I’m living my newfound liberalism in confusion. You hexbear people are absolutely delightful in how childish and angsty you are.

damn, guess I’m wrong

Yup, your modern liberal certainly doesn’t anymore because they apparently have no principles. Just whatever the party line is at the moment.

Leftists don’t believe in free speech? Can you explain to me what makes me a liberal?

If someone is influenced by these people’s particular attitudes then they’re already not set-up to have their own healthy beliefs and likely don’t have intellectual humility. That’s a journey everyone needs to find themselves in time. Deplatforming isn’t the answer.

Just throwing in my 2 cents, I’ve had the most infuriating argument with some braindead fucking hexbear tankies, but I absolutely still believe defederation is not the answer. As a leftist, I believe in free speech and freedom of autonomy and association. I just block the worst ones.

If hexbear can keep a reign on their users and they understand they need to follow other sub/instance rules when posting there, and proactively bans abusers, then that’s good enough.

edit: also @sunaurus your post is excellent btw

Perfectly understand, and also willing to do the work. I likely won’t open it up until I’m sure it’s stable, have backups and an upgrade path.

Appreciate taking the time to reply and the notes!

Do you have any GitHub repositories or guides on how you’ve deployed your Lemmy infrastructure? Hopefully via terraform or the like?
