That may be true in some part, though I think people on Hexbear tend to conflate any criticism of their personal takes on leftism as an attack on leftism as a whole. However, in this case he did specify the “vocal” aspect of Hexbear. So I think you’re just being a little oversensitive.
I can’t say I agree with there being anything particularly out of the norm with Hexbear beyond their leftism, so when people describe them as “almost completely unhinged” in particular, that sets off red flags.

Eh… Imo they tend to be very small tent about their leftism. Anything that runs against the popular grain can get you blocked or get you told you’re a dirty lib.
To different degrees… Hexbear is particularly bad.
What sets Hex apart is the leftism.
Lol, I’m a socialist… I have a problem with Hexbear. They would much rather dunk on people than engage in dialogue and welcome people into the community.
Hexbear has obviously had issues with this to the point where the mod team has had to remove forums and put out warning to their own community to stop sexism and transphobia.
You’re just conflating any criticism of the community as criticism of leftism, even when it’s coming from people on the left. You know, the thing that stated this whole conversation.
This is essentially gaslighting. Almost every time I saw a reply that was so out of line toxic was from hexbear. Ex: “disgusting capitalist bootlicker. Kys.” under a post saying we should vote for Biden. I can go find these actual words on the post that was titled “get out and vote!” with an image that said “not voting is a vote for trump” if you want.
Voting for a genocidal imperialist warmonger isn’t leftist, so it makes sense that leftists oppose that. I’m not gaslighting, you’re kinda proving my point, it’s the leftism that’s the issue.
The overwhelming majority of the time people have issues with Hexbear, it’s the leftism.
This is the only thing I am responding to. Almost every comment on the defederation from hexbear thread said it was because of toxicity, not ideology. If a vegan says to someone “kys carnist, crawl into a hole and die,” and gets banned, they didn’t get banned for being vegan.
I mean…they didn’t call “leftist” unhinged, they specified a specific group.
Hexbear does not equate to all leftist, and leftism does not equate to Hexbear.

That’s true of all groups, though, hsving a relatively cohesive range of acceptable opinions. What sets Hex apart is the leftism.

For anyone who actually cares to look at all the people discussing their negative experiences with hexbear users.
