I’m not on hexbear and I don’t like that userbase.

Honest mistake
Really? Why not just… read usernames? I already assumed that was his mistake but there isn’t like a timer to post. You can sit here and read things before responding. You can even edit posts after you make them.
And I’m aware of why it gets brought up. I saw the mega post about it too.
I stand by what I said. It’s annoying to see it constantly. And I do only see it on lemmy.
by complaining about people using the perjorative you’re essentially like the teacher punishing the victim for being fed up enough to finally hit the bully back who has been hitting the victim while the teacher has their back turned.
Interesting you should mention this. I’m Filipino and there was this racist kid in my class who always said racist shit to me and would fuck with me all the time, would even beat me up sometimes.
This was second grade. We were walking in single file line back to class and he was behind me, stepping on the back of my shoes to fuck with me while I was walking.
I turned around, and punched him right in the stomach. I was sent to the principals office and got in trouble. My parents were called in and all that. I believe he also got in trouble but it didn’t matter. He still said racist things to me after that but he stopped physically fucking with me.
So nah. I don’t think that’s a good metaphor for what’s happening here.
I KNOW…… what is it you are getting at?
Please explain it back then. I’m very curious.
Yes. I am aware of all of that. That was never my complaint. My original post wasn’t even a complaint. I was just informing you.
I wasn’t reacting to anything and I was not explaining anybody reacting to anything with an image.
Okay, now I feel like you are really misunderstanding me because that’s also not what I was saying.
the meme photo you used IS a reaction image.
Do you know what a reaction image is? It’s literally what you posted and just described.
Someone posts, someone comments to the post with an image as a reaction.
It’s 4chan shit. I was there when that trend started and I watched it spread to other sites. It’s also meant to get people to react. That’s what those commenters are looking for. Doesn’t matter where its being posted.
I didn’t say it was a buzzword.
I’m in the US and “lefty” might mean something different for me than it does for you. Where I live and the sites I go on - have leftys on there but no, they never use the term tankie.
Annoying is an opinion yes, but I’m saying its annoying because of how often it is brought up. Not that I’m siding with tankies or people who are against tankies.
Anything that gets repeated over and over is going to come across as annoying. Unless you like redundancy.
That’s not an answer to the question I asked you. Why do you like it for entertainment value exactly?
that’s 4chan shit - people are definitely here using “reaction images” which is a 4chan thing from like fucking 2012
its an old style comic that was used mostly for political cartoons back in the day but now they’re just memes. There was a sub reddit for them specifically.
I agree with you but you should know that anime and hentai are different things.
Fucking yes! I hated being interrupted constantly by useless bots telling me the meaning of random words or the differences in grammar. Shit was off topic and unnecessary.
anyone know if you can make a post there asking about Lemmy - I feel like reddit mods would remove it, you know?
I never saw that word used until I came to lemmy. I had to look it up and found that exact same wiki page for it.
Just because its a real word with a wiki page doesn’t make it any less annoying to constantly see on here. And only here. I see that word on NO other sites I ever visit.
I believe you but my experience on Reddit was way worse when it came to politics.
Seriously. I was looking for cannabis communities and the one with the most activity is all German.
why do you like trolling?
I’m sure there’s a way to get into that.
to be fair I live in a college town
my cat and I started as roommates but now I’m pretty sure he’s my boyfriend.
