C’est pour discuter honnêtement ou juste pour répéter qu’on lit la situation de façon opposé? J’ai pas trop envie, je voulais juste dire qu’on semble pas voir la même réalité. Les gens sont rapides à ignorer la vision de l’autre.

The whole mental health angle is reaching a bit far, but if anyone actually invokes it, I wouldn’t fight back. Like sure, you don’t want comment clashes, I can understand, I won’t trigger them.

I just have a problem with considering the whole hexbear instance as toxic and ideologically dubious. I get why someone might feel like that, but seeing 5 top level comments repeating it when I just don’t believe it’s true, I felt like adding my grain of salt.

We sit at the same table to try and bring the left together. I don’t care about helping Hexbear, I just wanna interest random users to challenge their views like I do. I have to work at standing up to others, true, but I haven’t encountered slurs, calls to violence or troll behavior from Hexbear, at least none that haven’t been resolved properly (though I’m sure it can happen).

Sometimes you express a view that’s untrue or that lacks empathy and get called out for it. It feels insulting when it happens, but I doesn’t have to be.

I’m not “my colleagues” and I don’t speak for them. If replying a simple “lol” to something of substance feels wrong, you could avoid doing it. My experience there makes me believe the lol user must have responded to something useless or disconnected from reality.

I think the content on hexbear is interesting and it’s bad to alienate new users of what they might find there. I reread the old post and the issues are being conflated in the comments here, I just don’t see what is being described here. Sure the bickering gets harsh deep in the comments, but that’s just the internet. People explain themselves sufficently well. That’s it.
