Heck I think Lemmygrad is more tolerable than Hexbear, by a lot.

My mom has loads of these Le Creuset pots.

Careful calling those regimes authoritarian. Hexbears like to attack this point by assigning a slightly different definition to authoritarian and then either (a) claim that all governments are "authoritarian" or (b) blame liberals for using this word to demonize socialist states. I once saw someone cite https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Authoritarianism to "prove" that those states are not authoritarian.

Yeah, the Chinese government is totally very democratic and is receptive to the criticism of its citizens! They never censor words and topics they don't like on their social media platforms!

I literally said that they might as well leave lemmygrad.ml and make a new account on Hexbear.

But then what the other commenter said would basically be "Both Wikipedia and Prolewiki are biased, but Wikipedia is biased to the wrong direction. I like Prolewiki's bias more than I like Wikipedia's bias. Therefore, Wikipedia is not reliable on the topic of Authoritarianism."

I first cited a nazi sympathizer without noticing this. After they refused to accept this, I cited the UN instead. Guess what they said in the comments? That the oppression of Uyghurs is not genocide.

The comments weren't entirely mild either. Have you not seen those screenshots of comments using insults? Don't you think it's a red flag that such a large portion of hate speech on Lemmy is from Hexbear?

If you like Hexbears, you should leave lemmy.world and go make an account on an instance that has not defederated from them.

Ok, maybe Wikipedia is biased, but I want to hear your arguments on why Prolewiki is not.

[–] randint@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Prolewiki, lmao great source

What you're saying basically is

If I lean more left than someone, they must be one of those MAGA conservative Fox news fanatic.

You might as well go make an account on hexbear.net.
