Opinion of one of the admins regarding hexbear, just so you guys know where they stand:

In my view, the hexbear community is actually a positive force on this platform. They are frequently abrasive, but they ultimately have the potential to contribute to what we are building here. They are extremely active and some of them are quite intelligent. But they’ve also become accustomed to a privileged position on their own walled-in platform, and they need to be reminded that their views are considered ver extreme by the average person.

VW ID.7 Pro S? Ist das die 11 Zoll Variante? Da warte ich lieber aufs Ultra!

Valid opinion and immutable distros like silverblue might be where the future is headed.

It’s not the point though, I’m not going with a distro that tries to force their proprietary solution on me.

Looks like he took the letters off and put them back on. Originally the lettering has a way tighter spacing.

LADB should do the trick, it’s also available from the playstore.

How to

I’m not from lemm.ee, but I believe that this problem is something the whole fediverse is facing.

Users from instances like hexbear, lemmygrad, exploding heads etc. seem to have some things in common: -Brigading -Trolling -Spreading misinformation/lies about genocides, wars, etc. -Demanding to be heard because of free speech and “tolerance” -When they face resistance, they get aggressive and you better believe that the comments going against their narrative are getting deleted on their instance

They are using lemmy to spread their propaganda and hate. This is exactly how propaganda is effective: spew the same bullshit as often as possible and, because humans tend to believe things to be true that they see or read a lot, radicalize users through it. Of course that doesn’t count for every person on that instance but in the end it doesn’t matter if a user is an edgy teenager, a radicalized senior or someone with hundred accounts. They are doing damage and the only way to win against them is to not let them into the playground.

Sexual harassment allegations are not “drama”. And anyways, the comparison is in the way they apologize and not the damage they have done.

How human of them.

That makes way more sense!

Maybe a take on Google/Alphabet? He might think it gets (purposely) drowned in the results so he won’t be able to find it if he doesn’t save it? No idea though…

Especially because Steve said “auctioned” and not “sold”. Nice strawman, same as his “bad journalism” take. It only leads the discussion away from the allegations.

I’m on a german instance (feddit.de) and it’s federated with db0.

I think it’s just lemmy.world bullshit.

Has anyone read their post about their downtime?

“We shouldn’t close registration or limit the amount of communities because we’re not even the biggest instance in the fediverse”

Like, what?! The argument was always that they are the biggest in Lemmy! It felt like they were trying to gaslight the users.

Same as the other arguments, like new users being weirded out if they can’t register to lemmy.world or apps using them as default. So them being down all the time doesn’t matter? Or that lemmy.ml was the biggest instance and closed down registration and new users registered to other instances without a problem?

I’m really weirded out how hard they try to be the “main” thing on Lemmy.

But you can’t base a fact on one accident. Or even multiple. What if newspapers like to write especially about Tesla accidents to generate clicks?

Teslas seemingly have a lot of accidents, but without checking the statistics and comparing it to other manufacturers you wouldn’t really know if the perceived truth is a fact or not.

You made the first comment: “Teslas aren’t safe”, without providing proof.

And now you’re calling someone a hypocrite because he asks for data of exactly what you claimed, while you’re redefining your first argument as “the contrary”.

So, do you have proof that Tesla’s aren’t safe in comparison to other cars, or is it just your opinion?

I think it’s their counter-argument to:

“If earth is really flat, why do ships disappear behind the oceans horizon?”

“Water mountains”

Interesting! I tried it a bit more:

• I had “Undetermined”, “Deutsch” and “English” selected in my profile.
• I was able to set the comment to “Undetermined”, but then still not able to set it to “Deutsch” (back to “English”, worked though)
• Changing the word “homie” didn’t make a difference
• Other comments set to “Undetermined” were able to switch to “Deutsch”
• Other comments set to “English” (that were actually written in english) were able to switch to “Deutsch”

Seems like it’s a problem with this comment in particular, but I can’t figure out why!

Edit: I found another comment set to “Deutsch”, written in german, that can’t be changed no matter what.

I’m trying but the save button just loops endlessly…

What difference does it make? Aren’t you able to see the comment?

It has of course nothing to do with the enormous amount of money they rake through their app store by squeezing both the developers and the users.

Why would they try to force people to only use the store by implementing more and more security features along the way!?

It’s a mystery!
