Some comrades over at Hexbear have organized a donation drive for Palestine and, over the past few weeks, have managed to raise over $1500 for verified Palestinian fundraisers. The fediverse is a good place full of good people.

well, at least there will be a positive effect from them for once
I’ve never heard of Hexbear. Care to explain?
hexbear.net is an explicitly and unapologetically instance of Lemmy. They’re known for their active userbase, light trigger on banning Zionist, transphobic or even pro-western content (which angers many people who live in the west), and their love for beanis
You guys are so weird. Russia is awful for non-cis people and you’re all falling over yourselves simping for them.
Nobody simps for Russia over in Hexbear, internal policy is terrible, but the fact is that it’s been forced by the west to adopt many anti-imperialist policies, which communists are right to offer CRITICAL support
Got it. Everything is the west’s fault. Very nuanced.
Not everything, but as things stand, most things yeah. It’s what happens when you concentrate power for 100 years in one or two capitalist nations.
To you, “nuance” simply means “other nations must be even worse, look, I saw it on my western disinformation”
You’re the one who keeps dick measuring countries. I call out specific bad actions, regardless of who commits them.
It’s okay though, the west made you post that message.
Many instances defederated from them because a large chunk of the user base was abusive and brigading. To an extent even the worst right wing instances federated couldn’t match.
Lemmy.world defederated from hexbear “pre-emptively” before they even had federation active. To this day, I have never seen this mythical hexbear brigading.
It’s more often the reverse. You’ll see accounts in hexbear-adjacent servers posting “Why Stalin Was Worse Than Hitler” tier content, getting banned, and then coming over to .world to scream and cry about how they’ve been censored by the mean Tankies.
Yes. And people including myself have accounts on other servers. And experienced it personally 3-4 years ago. That you didn’t experience it doesn’t disprove it. There’s a reason many of us chose servers like world as primary, that didn’t federate.

I don’t like tankies much either but I’ve seen way worse from the fascists.
Not really sure if it’s useful to ask if diarrea or regular shit is worse.
I don’t want to step in either
Well, for one, in eg. East Germany, homosexuality was decriminalised before in the West.
In fascist Italy and Germany, you were sent to a concentration camp.
