Yeah? Can you provide even 1 example of someone on Hexbear posting something a) civil and b) not fascist?

And the admins of Hexbear are relentlessly pro-CCP, implying that they’re homophobic.

It may well be “leftist”, but it’s also maximum authoritarian. Hexbears love fascism like a raccoon loves trash. If you’re anything but a full-on Nazi, absolutely including being a genocide denier, you’ll be relentlessly attacked on there.

I have the entire instance blocked in my client, so I can’t even go searching for a thread for you. But if you don’t, it should be incredibly easy to poke the hexbear, so to speak. Lemme grab you a link…

Here, this one should work. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_Uyghurs_in_China

Find an appropriate sublemmy on Hexbear and post this, ideally in a context that explicitly declares you oppose genocide. You’ll get nothing but the following in your thread:

1. Accusations that you are a “shitlib”. Any attempt by you to find out what this word means will result in additional mockery.
2. Denials of the Uyghur genocide.
3. Adoration of the CCP, especially Xi Jinping (but Hexbear likes any authoritarian tyrant in China, so any CCP politician may end up adulated).

You thankfully appear to have not been exposed to a “proper” hexbear thread where all they can do to communicate is call you a shitlib for doing things like acknowledging genocide.

Depends on jurisdiction.

How bad are these that Hexbear didn’t even make the list? Drilling through on the clickable version here makes it clear that the #1, poa.st, has the same basic content as Hexbear, but I’m assuming it’s somehow way worse. Just imagine.

Missing fifth panel:

It means HubertManne had a stroke while typing.

Stop linking xkcd without including the alt-text.

No-one is talking about “women bears”. There are people talking about women and bears for sure, though.

Yeah, I block anyone from Hexbear without even reading their comments.

Agreed, OP should have in hindsight so should I since OP didn’t- it’s insufficient on its own (newbies won’t know how to see the votey) for my purpose, but it is basic decency/respect. My apologies.

I have this. For some reason, I find a scented candle helps - I sleep with one lit.

Library.

Reminder that it is an internet crime to post an smbc strip without the votey, just as it is a crime to post an xkcd without the alt text.

While several wild bees are in danger of extinction, the honey bee is everything but.

I thought domesticated honeybees were in extreme peril due to CCD. This is the first time in years I’ve seen any kind of source claiming they’re doing ok. That’s relatively good news, that at least some bees aren’t about to vanish and so humanity has a nonzero chance at survival.

Wild bees are because they get pushed aside by cultivated ones, for fuck’s sake.

This is the weirdest take I’ve ever seen on colony collapse disorder. I get that its cause is an unsolved problem so people are apt to wildly speculate about the answer, but “caused by other bees” is a new one on me.

Your belief contradicts trivially-observable reality - you’re making falsifiable claims that have, in fact, been proven false, and 10 to 15 seconds of internet searching would suffice for anyone, including you, to see that.

Easy example: the parabolic arc of the dust thrown up by the lander tires would have cost more than every penny the USA had at the time to fake.

That isn’t true. Peddling is independent of the peddler’s motivation/intent.
