Hey, new federated user from Hexbear here - Hexbear
hexbear.net
Just curious how many of you are cool with this deeply racist image being the header for one of your comms

Thread now locked, so you can’t brigadedeeper-sadness

I understand this to be an official endorsement of racism from the mod team at shitjustworks

Enjoy this attempt to find a single non-racist among our new friends

Edit: Mods are mass deleting comments lmao

    I’m not sure why we should stay federated with racists to be honest.

    Especially when instead of doing any sort of self reflection their mods just start banning Hexbear users left and right… for being against racism. You can’t make this shit up lmao data-laughing

      I argued before federating that allowing a comm with a openly racist header said a whole lot about the people that run the instance and the people who hang out there. Some people were inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt given that it is a small and inactive comm.

      But I think the post shows that they’d rather try and own the tankies than condemn racism if the question is put to them point blank

      I think charitably we might have better luck dealing with them when they come here, if they’re given the ol’ bear hug they can either learn or get smothered I guess. hexbear
