Yeah, this shit's just weird all around. Don't ask for money, but swap the site to invite-only because people aren't giving you money? Calling it invite-only, but offering no path or conditions for getting an invite? Calling it invite-only but saying that it will at some point be open again? Giving no explanation as to when or why it might open again? If it costs too much money to be open why would it open up?
Just weird. Use your words, people. 
how about: protect innocent people and dont veer into fascist "nature decided they weren't good enough to continue living" nonsense
good post but i gotta nitpick by saying i hate forced 4-panel comic layouts. the top two panels should just be one panel. it doesnt have to be uniform 
If you're going to participate using third-party apps that remove basic lemmy features, you have to accept that people will be confused by your ignorance of those features. Pronouns are not a "unique change" by Hexbear, here's what my comment looks like via programming.dev without a third party app
it looks like snowe wasn't being aggressive at all
name-calling is universally considered to be aggressive. "ignorant troll" definitely counts
And getting hate for using "they" is excessive.
it is an extremely common transphobic tactic to de-gender people whose pronouns are easily visible as a plausibly deniable way of attacking them. considering all of us have our pronouns in our names on hexbear, we're going to assume that anyone 'they'ing us is doing it on purpose, which is an entirely reasonable assumption.
and all this argument started because this admin wanted to defend the latest shovelware trash game by the dev of Cars 3: Driven to Win, which is about putting down the revolt of the race of greedy hook-nosed bankers in a setting written by one of the world's most open and notorious transphobes
in short: nah this sucks and defederation from queer instances makes sense
It's a fantastic resource even if you are personally kinda cringe. 
Japan is an American corporation
Abolish copyright law, it does nothing but stymie creativity
Seems like this person's main problem is that they went to lemmy.world, which does basically seem like a collection of all the worst redditors.
