Hey so I think you’re pretty rad person who’s obviously investing a lot of effort in setting up cool communities and making tools to keep them safe.
I also think you got unfairly dogpiled in a pretty frustrating way.
But further, it seemed to me you were not trying to de-escalate there. I know the hexbear dogpile can be a bit ridiculous (honestly that place confuses me, I see both the absolute sanest and most unhinged posts coming out of hexbear users) but at this point you are definitely feeding the trolls.
I get that this might be fun for you, but it does use up a lot of bandwidth in the community and I worry it harms the quality of conversations we might be able to have in the future.
Once again I want to be clear that this remark comes from a place of respect, you obviously care about fostering online community and hence this last couple of days is confusing to me.
It’s understand the concern. This is just how I deal with this stuff myself. I can absorb a lot off abusive behaviour but I have to blow off some steam somehow, and this is my way.
Unlike what hexbears might say, I’m not trying to goad them. Notice that I never went out of my way to invite their dogpiles.

My sweet little pain piggy, you keep letting out clarion calls that summons all the silly bears out of every nook and cranny of the lemmynet
Cmon Y’all are adults (at least, I hope)
If you behave like a smart alek kid, expect to be scolded like one.
I’ll always enjoy seeing smuglords being patronizing in public.
Holy shit! 2 “I’m rubber, you’re glue” replies to the same comment . That must be some form of achievement.
I appreciate your effort to be diplomatic
You might want to reconsider your idea of what they care about, though.
I’m not sure if you’re aware but db0 has been working on CSAM filtering, safe federation lists and similar.
Maybe cut them some slack? That’s certainly more work than I put in.
I didn’t remember, though if this is the AI guy then I did read the post. I still need to question the deeply antisocial behavior patterns when it comes to anything having to do with communication, though.
Not that we shouldn’t give them credit for whatever good they do, we should.
I think you’re being a bit hyperbolic generalising deeply antisocial communication habits from a stupid flame war.
Sounds like they unified against you fairly well.
That they did.
I’ve only experienced that from them since I’ve known them. Not one wants a good faith discussion until you grovel to their fundamentalist tripe. Unity to them means blindly following their half-understood theories of centuries-dead men, and anyone who questions a lick of it gets the 4chan swarm treatment.
You’re a dweeb and should quit posting.
When they don’t have a counterargument, they attack your character. It shows just how strong their foundation of understanding is that a simple debate or differing viewpoint is a dire threat to their entire worldview. It’s extremely pathetic tbh.
what part of db0’s crosspost was calling for good faith discussion? Did you look at it? https://lemmy.ml/comment/5783449
I didn’t. Pretty based tho, ngl. Did you cry about it?
I’m an anarchist and you’re just an idiot.
Oh wow, I’ve never disagreed with an anarchist before!
Thanks for single handily crashing the housing market by allowing millions of hexbear users to live rent free in your head.
“Millions” 😂
how can you seriously call anybody a smuglord in that convo except you
“Uh uh, I’m not the smuglord, you’re the smuglord!”
does the work of the feds by intentionally seeding distrust between leftists
gets called a fed by leftists
“time to fill my diaper about it!”
The fact that you numbskulls don’t even realize how significant fedjacketing is and why we don’t do it, just says everything one needs to know.
