Also having to have “the talk” so they don’t get freaked out when they first see those instances.

I love that you can just interact with people who’ve been brainwashed by different propaganda from yourself on here. It can give you perspective on your own inherent biases, even if they’re not as severe as giving the ML Pass to dictators who are not even vaguely communist.

Blocking hexbear has nothing to do with a difference in ideas. Hexbear gets blocked because it hosts communities of some of the most obnoxious, unrepentant trolls known to the internet. Lemmygrad and .ml get blocked because said trolls made alts when instances got fed up and defederated from hexbear.

It’s like the Khmer Rouge’s version of 2004s era /b/. There is nothing to be gained from interacting with those people.

    I mean what are posters on world etc looking for exactly? You’d think they could just go to Reddit where they came from, but they left because Reddit sucks and is diluting their product to the dismay of power users. Why they do that? Because the capitalist system currently works by speculation under the total rule of finance capital, resulting in crapification. If they were literate, these Reddit mods would be quite upset.
