Hexbear is about to join the lemmy community. We should preemptively de-federate from them as it’s full of hate and extremist content.

    Maybe I’m mistaken, but I was under the impression hexbear was a bunch of libertarian left lgbtq people doing a bunch of shitposting.

      Apparently calling out right-wing politics for being hateful is now itself hateful

        FYI: This is called the paradox of tolerance

        Philosopher Karl Popper described the paradox of tolerance as the seemingly counterintuitive idea that “in order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must be intolerant of intolerance.” Essentially, if a so-called tolerant society permits the existence of intolerant philosophies, it is no longer tolerant.

      It’s pretty much where Russian terrorists go to talk about anime and killing people.
