absolutely 100% what i've witnessed lurking on all the big active threads lately. people deliberately misconstruing what we're saying, outright LYING about shit (like they were downvoted/called some slur that is on our filters), and just bullshit concern trolling about shit liek BriGaDiNG (you mean using the fucking website? lmao) allll that shit annoys me.
Saw one going off about how hexbear is shitting up lemmy.world - the site that famously pre-emptively defederated. And the mentioned claims of downvoting/slur use that are technically impossible. They really will make anything up nothing to stand on.
Reminds me of my aunt who lied straight to my face in front of my family members that I outright supported the war in Ukraine. Guess analysis, predicting consequences and advocating for ending the war as soon as possible is now wishing desth for Ukrainians 🙄
Yet she was the one talking racist shit about Ukrainians and saying "they should go back", calling them lazy and other shit I'd rathet not repeat. I even mentioned that probably ¼ of all Ukrainians my age (20) are fucking dead, I couldn't believe she was actively supporting them going to their deaths.
That fell on deaf ears.
The point is, that no matter what, and who. Liberals will always stab you in the back.
They like racism, discrimination and being pieces of shit in general. The only thing they will cry about is @Civility@hexbear.net being threatened.
She was snarky, making faces and belittling me yet it was I who was the problem for having an aggresive tone in an answer to a snarky and purposefuly provocative statement. My god if I said "kurwa mać", it would be the end of the world! But racism is permitted as long as you are nice about it. 🥰
I should've actually berated my mother for her shitty behavior, I'm mad I actually wasn't more confronting about her racism and not just acceptance, but the defence of this shit.
All in all, fuck liberals as they will fuck you over. Always. It sucks having to restrain myself over this bullshit, and not "making a scene".
"It gives off a massive Conservative pretending to be trans vibe / as a black man."
Saying this gives off a massive "I have never seen criticism of liberals from anyone other than conservatives" vibe. This is clearly their first ever encounter with real leftists. They default to "these people are conservatives" whenever they see anyone say anything negative about liberals and this only occurs when you've literally never actually spoken to a single real socialist before.
mods, if we're going to make concessions to the other instances around our posting, they need to ban this kind of transphobic bullshit. that this user wasn't banned is deeply offensive and rage inducing. how can they call themselves a queer instance and allow this kind of shit to stand? removing the comment is fine and all but it allows the user to continue posting this drivel at us whenever we post.
This is a tangent, but have you talked with our friends over there about how 196 is extremely hostile to our existence and what is to be done about that? It seems like a sticking point.
