I’m not saying I’m definitely right. And sure, the libs deserve the dunking. I look back to when I was a lib and I cringe at the shit I used to say. I’m certainly not thinking “oh why were they mean to me when I said something totally sexist”, and honestly fuck anyone that puts their short term feelings above the oppression of a marginalised group.
That said, I think that some Hexbear peeps might be enjoying the now long-lost experience of dunking on libs. I get it, it’s fine, I would too. I’m just wondering if we can tone down the insults and PPB, especially in other instances. I would really stick to informed discussion if possible. I’m not reading comments in too much detail, so maybe I’m wrong. I’m seeing a lot of people here put in a ton of genuine effort, and those posters get a 
from me.
I have seen Lemmygrad posters complain (nicely) about the level of PPB and shitposting in non shitposting communities. Frankly I think the deserve a bit of respect in their communities. Their culture isn’t the same as ours. I love you guys, but PPB is really only funny in Hexbear.
I sorta feel like a mass defederation is just a matter of time regardless of what we do. Maybe I’m just being hopeful that we can make this thing work. Dunno, you don’t have to fully agree with me. But for me personally, I would post a lot more carefully with non Hexbear users.
Edit: let me reiterate that the libs do deserve the dunking
Ukraine really is the perfect war for them. No Americans coming back dead or pissed off and they even managed to provoke the other side to do the first open war move and look terrible. It’s as well executed as what they did to the Soviets in Afghanistan only this time instead of Al-Qaeda what’s left is going to be Al-Qaeda but Nazis
Oh also the European economy and people fucked over and dependent on American natural gas
To be fair though, it is important for the rules based order to insure fair access to Ukranian markets. And to privitize all their public utilities. Not to mention Halliburton has felt unloved since the Iraq divorce. Oh and of course LNG producers in the US are basically selling freedom. Last but not least is Lockheed. Oh Lockheed you saucy little removed.
