Sounds like they unified against you fairly well.

[–] GlitchyDigiBun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've only experienced that from them since I've known them. Not one wants a good faith discussion until you grovel to their fundamentalist tripe. Unity to them means blindly following their half-understood theories of centuries-dead men, and anyone who questions a lick of it gets the 4chan swarm treatment.

[–] Kuori@hexbear.net 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

OP literally did not attempt to have any discussion of any kind, and explicitly said they had no interest in doing so

that's the definition of "not in good faith" homie

[–] BirdyBoogleBop@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Can't exactly have a good faith argument if the post gets brigaded.

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

No, good faith argument is being a debatelord, as was explained to me at length in the last post. People who just happen to see the post and respond are all brigading if they come from an instance that has a cross-post. Them's the rules.

Don't bullshit me that there is a proper way to argue with that fucker, he demonstrated at length that there was not.

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don't think I've ever seen a sealion so mad before.

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Fuck off, all you can do is call names and be smug, there is no point talking to you

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 years ago (3 children)

You literally came into my thread and started insulting me to third parties, baby. Don't act all huffy when you take what you give.

You're clearly angry because I didn't engage with your sealioning. Take a break. Not everyone owes you attention.

[–] iie@hexbear.net 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

take what you give

who broadcast a meme to all of lemmy arguing that modern MLs are treacherous murderers who must be defeated in real life?

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Not quite what the meme said, and also, it's a meme. For people frequently chanting about death to various things, y'all are surprisingly literal.

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

and also, it's a meme.

You can't use this cop-out like it's a joke whenever it's rhetorically convenient for you, especially when you said in the comments that you completely meant it.

[Yes, I was baited again despite earlier doing the healthy thing of disengaging, that much is not on you]

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes I did mean not to trust tankies.

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Then what the fuck do you say "it's a meme" for? What useful information does that convey? Because clearly you're serious about it and have been told that that response comes off as you saying "it's just a joke bro"

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Look mate, "it's a meme" means it's not going to be particularly nuanced in its criticism. It's meant to ellicit cheap laughs through simplifying some parts. Y'all have a brain, you can certainly see which parts are exagerrated for these purposes. Your comrades were certainly capable of starting nuanced discussions about Catalonia based on this understanding.

Honestly, I think you are all playing dumb in order to get some gotchas.

you literally came into my thread

You literally started a discussion in a public forum. You don't get to be offended people in the forum engaged with it.

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm not. Hell, I left the forum open for y'all to shitpost to your heart's content!

[–] ProfessorOwl_PhD@hexbear.net 0 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Oh, of course you're not. That's why you're derailing threads by accusing everyone of sealioning, because you're not mad at them at all. That's why you posted your shitty wrecker memes in the first place, because you're totally rational and calm.

Absolutely fucking childish.

Tankies would never hurt a leftist. Everyone they attack is actually a lib. Or so I've heard

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago

Yes, of course they're the only real leftists and if you disagree you're a libnazi.

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 0 points 2 years ago (5 children)

Aren't we not "real" leftists either? This isn't a very impressive burn

I'm not sure I really agree with your first point, I think finding a way to find allys in all leftists would be worth it, even if it has a dark history. Things can be better.

But holy shit their reaction was intense. And the idea that their arguments were in defense of left unity was pretty silly... 99% of it was just "anarchists wrong and evil", and there is wild amounts of sectarianism going on just within hexbear that I'm sure lent energy to this.

I respect how you reacted under pressure. I really respect any admin of a website that can show that much restraint when dealing with personal attacks and people you explicitly disagree with.

But yeah the lethality of leftist infighting is maybe a topic that deserves more delicate conversations than memes.

[–] iie@hexbear.net 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

anarchists wrong and evil

not only is that not what we said, but db0 actually said that about us

[–] Stoneykins@mander.xyz 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I was there, I can form my own opinions, thanks. It was hyperbole, but that was the general level of arguments being made.

If you want left unity, it was a nonsensical way to behave. It was just more sectarianism. It does make sense as a way to behave if you just wanna argue... So thats what I assume the real intent was.

[–] iie@hexbear.net 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

the meme being posted was "modern MLs are bloodthirsty monsters who will kill you if they ever get in power"

When you view a group as evil, that view tends to result in double standards for behavior, which is what you're doing.

I'm probably going to dip because I'm too mad to be civil right now

[–] Stoneykins@mander.xyz 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Hi, if you read what I said I also did not like the meme originally posted. I'm just trying to be constructive about it instead of angey and loud.

Edit: "angey" was a typo but it makes me laugh

[–] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They posted an inflammatory meme meant to stir shit up between folks that share 99% of the same values and should be working together instead of having slapfights on the internet about shit that happened 100 years ago under entirely different material conditions, and for the record I piled on against them too as did some of our other anarchist comrades because it was reddit tier brainrot. If someone post a meme similarly lazily and unfunnily making the same joke about "anarkiddies" we would remove it and chastise the poster.

[–] Stoneykins@mander.xyz 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What do you want me to say? Sorry I'm not as angey as your standards demand? That all that dogpiling and toxic behavior was chill and fine because of a fucky meme? I declare hexbear.net the sovereign leader of all of leftism, I'll say whatever you want, just chill tf out

[–] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm very chill, I was just pointing out why it seems like we are aggressive.

The removal of downvotes on our end mean people have to actually make the effort to tell you that you are wrong and why, and not just downvote and move on.

Trust me it is a much better system than downvotes, we have had a long time with developing policies to foster productive discussion.

When someone is so aggressively wrong or clearly posting troll bait, then of course they will perceive the pushback as aggressive as well.

[–] DivineChaos100@hexbear.net 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I'm very chill, I was just pointing out why it seems like we are aggressive.

I mean i am on hb since the start and criticism of anything ml was always met with aggression, not only if it was inflammatory. That1s why joeysteel was banned for starters.

I'm an anarchist and you're just an idiot.

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago

Oh wow, I've never disagreed with an anarchist before!

[–] ArmokGoB@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Are we finally getting the hexbear defederatiom that I've wanted for so long?

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Please? They're almost worse than lemmygrad.

[–] vasco@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] ArmokGoB@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Just look at how they brigaded this thread. They seek out critics and dogpile them.
