Looks like we upset a few too many residents over at lemmy.ca. I didn’t see a post about this on here, so I thought I’d go ahead and make one.
2 of 4 reasons why are basically just PPB lol, and a third is for calling for executions of landlords
Calls China an Oppressive Regime
Based in country that swore fealty to a pedophile enabling racist royal family which leeches off the people of the UK and imprisons people standing against monarchy.
The UK complaining about China is really rich given the way their courts work, their actual literal king and unelected house of parliament, ASBOs, and the UK being far and away the most exhaustively surveilled country in the world.
Don’t forget the pogroms and genocide against the Natives
Lol they won’t be missed
Unserious country
Seriously genocidal country.
PPB seems to really upset people
We’re totally denying any validity to their position with a vulgar and grotesque reply. It’s about as rude as you can get, which is no less than most of them deserve.
Posting the pig poop emoji repeatedly and not adding value to discussions
This is a contradiction in terms
Seriously though fuck Canada, hope your ongoing indigenous genocide stops and you stop being a fake country that’s really a front for mining operations on indigenous land.
The whole point is that whoever you’re replying to has descended in to silly chud shit and there’s no longer any point engaging with their “ideas”, but apparently our refined linguistic achievements are too complex.
O Canada my home
andis native land
Hahaha, the bear spares no one! Not even itself for the sake of @Civility@hexbear.net!
Lmao, you will end up like Lemmygrad. The spectres of Lemmy are us!
😔
This has been a tough week for you

That’s how Reddit used to operate on a sub-by-sub basis. People would get banned from subs they’d never even visited, because the admins were angry at them posting in associated subs.
The petty feudal mod atmosphere trickled up to the administration over time, and eventually the admins just adopted a Mods But Sitewide approach to governance.
Admittedly, this was after numerous subs began to actively and deliberately fuck with the money.
But… what do you even want? Redditors gonna Redditor. Even Hexbear went through a period of arbitrarily banning people over petty ego driven shit some years back.
Whenever someone replies to [hexbear posters] with well-thought-out arguments supporting “the western authoritarians,” half of them replies with huge and ugly emojis, while the other half parrots more Chinese propaganda (that actually sound well-written if you disregard the fact that China is an oppressive regime).
good to know that all it takes to learn something about china is to ignore thought terminating cliches like ‘china regime bad’
that actually sound well-written if you disregard the fact that China is an oppressive regime
Translation; “I don’t know how to counter these arguments, so I’ll just assume its propaganda and move on”
Sounds like some sort of unfalsifiable orthodoxy to me…
CNN told me China bad, don’t need any more information then that
half of them replies with huge and ugly emojis
Our emojis may be huge due to the lemmy bug (I’ve been trying to refrain posting some outside of the instance due to that), but ugly ?!
How dare them, we have the best emojis
Me: Mom I want expertise on China.
Mom: We’ve already got a China expert at home.
The China expert at home:
that actually sound well-written if you disregard the fact that China is an oppressive regime
Holeeeeeeeee shit.
Your honor, the evidence that I’m guilty sounds well founded only if you disregard the fact that I’m not guilty.
Arguments I agree with = well-thought-out
Arguments I disagree with = Chinese propaganda
Arguments I disagree with = “it sounds well thought out, but like c’mon, china bad”
“Whew, those dastardly communists almost had me there with that instructive and enlightening argument. Thankfully my
hegemonic capitalist programmingFACTS AND LOGIC kicked in and I rejected their arguments immediately without further thought.”How do they not realize what an incredible self-own that shit is lmao
“I have come to a predetermined conclusion and will not change my mind no matter the evidence because China is inherently bad (totally not racist btw)”
thing I like (japan)
thing I like (china)
Kill more Japanese prime ministers
I never bought into this whole “Canada” thing anyway
No fucking way that’s a real country

“Moralists don’t really have beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child’s toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded. Centrism isn’t change – not even incremental change. It is control. Over yourself and the world. Exercise it. Look up at the sky, at the dark shapes of Coalition airships hanging there. Ask yourself: is there something sinister in moralism? And then answer: no. God is in his heaven. Everything is normal on Earth.”
Having grown up native in Canada, I assure you that this is the view held by the majority.
It gets even better, look at that dudes profile: https://lemmy.ca/u/MapleEngineer

I feel like we sometimes overstate the we are calmer/polite/respectful part. There was a hexbear user telling another hexbear user that our emojis in federated communities were a little disruptive (because they are really big) and they apologized, but another user replied to them with a ppb lol
They’re from lemmygrad and saying that lemmygrad is the calmer one, from my reading. Also, lemmygrad added pronouns? Based
Oh yeah, my bad, when I see pronouns I think it’s a hexbear user.
nah, some people just started adding them after interacting with us
at this point its just code for ‘wow look a person that is reasonable’
another user replied to them with a ppb lol
This. I was surprised to find that they were even federated with hexbear. Lemmy.ca was on my shortlist of instances to join when I was moving to Lemmy. Blocking lemmygrad was reason enough to find a different instance.
When I saw that thread last night, I was expecting the links to the “offenses” to be wild. But then it was just bathroom humor, and a singular call to execute landlords, which I found hilarious.
I just do not understand the lack of humor of a lot of people, on these instances. You’d swear their lives are devoid of happiness.
A lot of those are pretexts for defederating I think
What rubs them the wrong way is our position on various issues (despite them being far more deeply argued and sourced than the paltry answers we usually get)
Also, admittedly and to a lesser degree, likely the fact we’re numerous and terminally online so anytime something dunkable is posted even the small subset of online hexbear users that see it appear on their feed and interact must look like an army to them
They defederated us for being perfect posters
We did everything right and they defederated us, folks
They hate Trump because he dismisses them and posts better than them, not because the valid reasons. They hate us for the same reason
Guaranteed most of them have some interesting opinions on the indigenous people of Canada and how they ended up in their current situation.
Step 1: Execute landlords
Step 2: Land doesn’t actually get properly distributed and a new landlord rises
Step 3: ???
Step 4: Profit?
(Step 5: Revolution all over again)
Edit: /s in case it’s not clear. sigh Poe’s Law sucks 🤦♂️
Uhh excuse me I’m sorry what was step 2 again??
The Maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry.
Calling for exections of landlords
Special shoutouts to @AccountVerificationBot@hexbear.net, @duderium@hexbear.net, @Sasuke@hexbear.net, @GaveUp@hexbear.net (and probably also @Frank@hexbear.net), and @GorbinOutOverHere@hexbear.net for being called out specifically.
Beep boop

You all went out bullying Canadians without me.
For the record I think I only posted pigpoopballs two or three times and stopped when people here on hexbear started complaining about it.
Edit: all violence is bad except for structural violence that funds my treats. We have to help the mom-and-pop landlords fight the evil woke global elitist landlords. All revolutions inevitably destroy themselves which is why I am literally a peasant living on a manor and capitalism never happened (since it is human nature and if anything the nature of the universe (who is God except The Great Investor? What was the Big Bang except a massive and highly profitable investment?)), excuse me now while I have my eighth meltdown about China for the day.
lol that just makes it even funnier
Special shoutouts to . . . @Sasuke@hexbear.net

Lol i didn’t even DO ANYTHING. I’ve been so polite compared to how rude I am usually
Goddamn I need to step up my game
I like how you just threw me in there. : )
You were in there riffing on Kkklanada with GaveUp, so I figured you were being implicitly included there.
to some of our finest posters
