I think a little clarification is needed. No. I don’t actually think everyone there is insane. I don’t care about the bans so stop trying to use that. HB enthusiasts coming here and trying to call me out achieves nothing besides proving my point

Edit: Feel free to keep trying to brigade me. It’s not going to scare me to take this down

    I first was introduced to hex by a similar post, idk the community, and my first reaction was, "holy shit it, those people are toxic!” maybe it was a complaint about the dunktank. Since then, I’ve come to recognize how intelligent and sane they actually are.

    Abuse begets abuse, and the cycle continues. I do hope my own instance hasn’t defederated. I’ve learned so much, incrementally, and developed a particular fondness for some users. I do feel enriched for them and ml having educated me patiently and kindly. I see them as older siblings who are human, like me. In fact, I’d say there are some I adore. Not hero worship, because that sets is up for disappointment or cult of personality. Just a particular fondness.

      Don’t misunderstand, and I wish I knew the OPs tag, but they gave info to research and I quickly adjusted my knowledge to fill in some blanks, but the majority of people were just on the attack. Maybe they needed to vent some stress, which is fine, but there was only less than a handful of people that were giving me a chance. I’d love to discuss opposing views, but if the majority is going to belittle and ridicule me, I’m going to respond in equivalence. Call it pride, but no one person should be treated like that and be convinced to hear an opposing view. It just does not work

        With all respect friend, the error had been linked in this thread and explained multiple times. You’ll see it when and if you’re ready to see it, I suppose. Wishing you the best. Ciao.

          No. Not really. I’m pointing out the hypocrisy of political and social discussions from around the world, and people want to act like different perspectives are common sense. If it was common sense, then it would be common knowledge. All that was proven to me is that bias is forever going to be biased, and the world isn’t going to improve social climates because of that bias. Very few people are interested in a dialog on whatever side of the social or political spectrum they’re on. It’s all just a fucking farce, and everyone pays for it
