I’m on an instance that defeded hex, and I’ve got an alt on an instance that didn’t. Literally nothing lost. The reason loads of instances defeded hex was their habit of brigading. Loads of bad faith arguments, shit talking people…even when they were agreeing with the points being made. Having seen what their contributions to the fed are, I’m glad to have a little less noise. Happy to discuss with people who have different views, but they don’t tend to discuss, they are the equivalent of that one person that talks at you, not with you…

This is hardly new, they’ve been the “bad guys” for decades. They’re just masks off these days. Raw-doggin a genocide. Or whatever the fucking kids say these days.

For real. Lots of symptoms of ADHD can be considered normal behaviour when they happen infrequently and alone. Pile em all together and you get the mess a lot of us are stuck in.

Fair dues

I mean… it’s already been kinda treated that way for decades?

Won’t someone please think of the metrics?!

paper thin security advantages.

And loads of highly intrusive, unremovable, anti-user bullshit.

They have Dragon in their name! I feel like I’m taking crazy pills here! /s

If they actually are a drag or drone alt…then they finally decided that their alts were being figured out too quickly because they cannot change the way they speak, so they went back in time and made this one to fool us all!

Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down?

Oh, sweet! Human made horrors beyond my understanding!

• Me, probably

I seem to remember reading an article saying that they have to replace Phil often, and they’re (the long line of Phil’s) always in poor health, because they get fed and absolutely shit diet.
Easily could be remembering a figment of my imagination, and I’m too tired and lazy to look it up. So I look forward to someone with more motivation than me proving my remembering one way or the other.

I mean. The only place to get alcohol past midnight in the Canadian town I grew up in was an all night tea house. But we were just trying to hide it from the cops.

Why post this when there wasn’t even a response by Ada?

Because Ada is on BZ, D is instance banned by BZ, no one from BZ sees any of D’s comments anywhere in the Fed.
Newbuild is, in my opinion, an alt of D’s. D realising that Ada can’t see their repeated apologies is absolutely the reason why this was made.

What game are you running

I think maybe they realised they have pissed everyone off, and have lost their fav trolling grounds.

blocked Drag ~ rant mode

Yeah, I feel that, it seems like near universal reaction to D.

Again, not personally convinced Newbuild isn’t just your alt. I’m not going to argue the point. If I’m wrong I’ll let this be an apology.

I debated with myself about replying to this comment because of our few messages yesterday/day before.
I decided to chime in because, despite not being terribly fond of you, your point here is very important, and valid.

I had an account on .ml, as I am very left, and everything was fine at first. I eventually got sick of the constant rhetoric of: America bad, which means China and Russia are really good, and we would all be better off living in a M-L utopia like they do there!
And look, I’m not a Xenophobe/Sinophobe/Russophobe, I think that the people of those countries are just people. Sure America bad, but it’s a bit fucked up to go from that and recognising that some of what is said about them(China/Russia) is almost certainly propaganda, to the frothing true-believer fanaticism that goes on.
There’s a lot of talk at hexbear(when I’d gone to have a look and make my own opinion of them) and some parts of .ml about 2SLGBTQ+ safe space, acceptance and protection. And at the same time through the actions of folk there and the admins/mods it was clear that it was lip service.

I moved on, and then Trump was elected again. All of a sudden you had loads these .ml accounts not only calling people enablers of the bourgeoisie, Sheeple etc, then in the next breath they are Staning Trump. On more than one occasion when I called them out on parroting the GOP lines about things, they would quote Sartre at me and say I was a class traitor.

Was a real “Masks Off” realisation for me.

Again Drag, I am hardly a fan of you, and I’m sure you’re aware of that…but you’re absolutely right here. Tankies, or at least the ones that are the most vocal, are not allies, are not even tolerant as far as I can see.

Also considering how many times in the last thread you replied to a comment that Ada had made apologising, I’m positive that they know. I feel like this thread is a bit superfluous. And isn’t doing you any favours.

Encore une fois! Avec… émotion!

jazz hands

That tracks. And is a good thing actually. Thanks for taking the time to write this up. Appreciate it!

Reeks of big brother, but I wonder if there’s a way to device ban.

Nobody but Quebec and sometimes Alberta threatens the sovereignty of Canada, buddy!

They’re foreign dummy, they won’t understand until you repeat it several times at increasing volume.
