goddamn this entire thread is annoying:
so good job hexbears. you did something good this week. keep stuff like this going
Thanks for the candid words. It seems that people get more bothered over theoretical ideological points than the results of the theory. I'll be very happy if .world users decide to own hexbear epic style and do a 10 times larger fundraiser for Palestine
Don't worry, they won't
Nice
well, at least there will be a positive effect from them for once
AFAIK it's the third such fundraiser from over there
that's genuinely nice
I've never heard of Hexbear. Care to explain?
Many instances defederated from them because a large chunk of the user base was abusive and brigading. To an extent even the worst right wing instances federated couldn't match.
They are authoritarian left and even though Russia is not a leftist country they will refuse to say a single thing bad about Russia, China, and some will even say nothing is wrong with north Korea. If you search the instance for 'Ukraine' you will see them saying Russia is the good guy in the Ukrainian war. They will say things like authoritarianism doesn't actually exist. I legitimately wonder how many posts are state sponsored lol. There are a lot of them on lemmy.ml as well
Just a week ago I had a conversation with someone that is thinking that Russia is a still a communist country and was arguing if I was sure about the opposite
Come see for yourself. I did.
Maybe a good thing they did.
I hope they verified well. There‘s a whole industry of scammers in this sector.
You can check the comments in the linked previous post in which they organized the fundraiser, I believe someone left a tool for verifying the accounts in the comments
Broken clock effect.
At the end of the day, they're still authoritarian bootlickers, and they should not be given any slack because they did one good deed. Fuck Hexbear. They're as evil as MAGA as far as I'm concerned.
havent come across hexbear much so im not really aware of their stances but i think calling a lemmy instance "as evil as MAGA" is kind of a stretch
Hexbear has always been really good at supporting fedizens.
Sounds good, but make sure the money really goes into the hands who needs it the most: the vulnerable rather than those wanting to fight to the death.
Have to add that while zakat and jizya are normal practices in Islam, nonetheless the issue is the charity money is rarely ever accounted properly.
BTW, food not bombs.
