They are being genocided despite his reference to you. The goal of the occupier is the destruction of a group of people, either by having them interned indefinitely, by forcing them to leave (again) or simply butchering them.

Genocide historian Segal says the intent is there.

Very Macron-like of him.

Canada had paedophile and state-run genocide camps masquerading as schools for Indiginous children well into the 70s!!! This is clearly an extension of that mindset. The Canadian government is sick.

Also a great hack to lower your personal rate of inflation.

I don’t think they were going to, since Hexbear doesn’t actually have downvotes. Only upvotes. And the post above apparently cuts out the part where they’re told to follow the rules.

If they wanted to misbehave they could do it already. I’ve personally had posts and comments mass downvoted and people have complained elsewhere. The only thing this defederation will contribute to is an increase in alt accounts and the very misbehaviour you fear. This is a Lemmy problem, not a Hexbear one.

It’s already possible, I had it happen to me, and people on unrelated communities (LotR etc) were replying to me asking why my post and comment got ranked down. This is clearly a lemmy problem, not a hexbear one. And by increasing division we’re going to legitimise infantile behaviour like that.

As a lemmy world user up to now, I do not wish to lose the interests, knowledge and expertise that 20k other people have, so I’ll probably be off to lemm.ee if it proves good.

Probably doesn’t want to be brigaded. I’ve had random posts and comments downvoted by neckbeards for no reason. To the point that people in that community (LotR) were replying to me in surprise.

An instance can behave like a sub or community if they wish to, assuming what you said is even true. Iirc the entire point of the fediverse is to allow groups of users to be free from spez like ban-happy/profiteering behaviour. Lemmy doesn’t exist to make you personally happy. Hexbear has its own rules for its own instance and if their community is happy with it it’ll survive and thrive.

Lemmy dot world’s decision is disappointing because they seemed open and neutral politically. But are seemingly very much not neutral and damaging for Lemmy.

Despite that we’re not just carving off their politics. We’re losing their interests, expertise, knowledge and potential interactions. The sort of network that made reddit strong and useful.

They absolutely should make clear their political positions for clarity and transparency’s sake.

Well this is unfortunate. Seems like a mistake tbh. 20k people is a huge loss.

I’ll have to make alt accounts soon if account migration isn’t a feature.

edit: This is reminding me of when people were calling Lemmy Devs ‘tankues’. Are we being sabotaged again?

Yeah, it seems like we’re now losing out on 20k people to interact with which seems a shame.

Seems like we had downtime again just a little while earlier?

It looks genuinely very cool.

It just worked for me.
