    Not from what I’ve seen, it’s just not tolerant of liberalism.

    There, I fixed it for you.

      Not in my experience, they are very tolerant towards Marxists, Anarchists, trans people, etc. Liberalism is bannable, though.

        Well yes they just label anyone who they want to be removed a “liberal”, like they did with me.

          Take it as a badge of honor. All clowns over there… First instance I blocked, and it reduced the toxicity on Lemmy by 70% on the spot.

          I’ve read the things you have posted, and IMHO you were banned for being a loud dumbass

            Sure, whatever. That’s their prerogative. But if you also insult me and delete my comments explaining our position so as to allow your disinfo the fester all the better, I might just call you a disingenuous pos

            Edit to say, that being a loud mouth is not a “liberal” or “reactionary” either 😁

        Ironic- considering how butthurt they get when their communist shit gets banned. You really can’t make up that level of stupidity.

          What do you mean? Lemmy itself was made by Communists along Communist principles, people usually defederate from Hexbear because they are rowdy.

            What I mean is that it’s ironic that they ban people for being liberal, while crying when they get banned for being tankies.

            Know who else bans liberals? Conservatives. Yet the only ones that ever seem to see the similarity between communism and conservatism and get shit on for pointing it out….

            Are liberals. Your shared enemy.

              None of that made any sense, lol. Conservativism and Communism have nothing in common whatsoever.

              This comment is a hot mess because you used “liberal” as the implied opposite of conservative, but that isn’t the definition @Cowbee@lemmy.ml implied when talking about hexbear, or at least that isn’t how he bear defines it.

              I really wish we could have some better descriptive words in these communities. “Tankie” is equally meaningless and confusing.

              So the common american usage is liberal = leftist (or whatever counts for leftist)

              On hexbear (and elsewhere) liberal is just the centrist of the conservative capitalists. By this definition, every politician in america is a liberal, whether democrat, republican, or independent, since they are all capitalists (if any of them aren’t liberal, it’s because they are too small to be relevant or because they are just blatant fascists). Anyone who isn’t anticapitalist is conservative by that standard.

              I could be wrong in some of what I said I’m just trying to help clarify but I’m not perfect lol please don’t take this as an attempt to argue

                I honestly don’t care how the clowns on Hexbear have chosen to redefine words to use in their own wind-tunnel. I’m using the actual definition of the term.

                Like the rest of the world does.

                  Theirs is the global, older, more universal use of the word. Using “Liberal” and “conservative” to basically exclusively refer to “democrats” and " republicans" is a modern/american thing.
