This makes no sense to me. There’s people in the comments literally telling me to go kill myself and that’s fine but, me politely disagreeing is worthy of a 30 day ban.

    Oh, you’re right. The pronouns confused me.

    Well you’re from Hexbear as is the other person commenting here so my point still stands.

      I haven’t given an opinion on your stuff. I just told you what instance davel was from. So…your point doesn’t really have legs yet.

        Up untill Davel, every single user I got a reply from relating to stuff I said on that thread was either a Hexbear or Lemmygrad user and every user since Davel has been aswell.

          What you said was that they were “coming after you”

          I’m just making the point of stating that my conversation with you has not been “aggressive” nor has it mentioned the topic at hand. And I’m from hexbear.

            I just mean that usually when I say something controversial, the people arguing against that are from all over the place, but in this case the opposition seems to be coming from these two instances almost exclusively. Even in this thread, that’s been posted on lemmy.ml there’s still a disproportionate amount of Hexbear users replying. I can’t say for certain, but it sure feels like they’re looking for me rather than just stumbling across this post.

              …You may want to look into which instances are federated with yours and the instances you post on before the paranoia fully sets in, lol.

              Lol I browse All, I see a thread with lots of comments, I drop in. Nobody’s looking for you, get over yourself. Take the L. Sit out your 30 days and ply your debate pervert shit somewhere else in the meantime, the Internet is a huge place.

                That still doesn’t explain the disproportionate amount of replies from Hexbear and Lemmygrad users. You should see my inbox.

                  We care about this sort of stuff. More than non-bear/grad users judging by the replies you are recieving.

                  We like to stick up for each other. It’s a shame your community doesn’t have that.

                    I’m not sure what that community would even be. I’m not interested about being surrounded by bunch of yes-men. I want my community to call me out on my bullsht because I’m going to do the same for them.

                  We’re active in political threads since we’re both explicitly leftist instances (grad is ML, Hexbear is leftist of different stripes). Hexbear doesn’t have down votes so if we see something we disagree with, we say something. There’s not really a ‘downvote and move on’ mentality, so you’re likely to get multiple users replying to a post.
