Edit: mods removed the comment? Why? I don’t think the guy was wrong to be concerned about sexual content in books for children and I would have liked my question answered.
It's probably the mods on your instance (lemmy.ca) that removed the comment. I can still see it.
I also love his videos!
Please don't use serif fonts for UI elements. Imagine the buttons on your file manager being Times New Roman. (eww.) I think what you're looking for is a monospaced font that's designed to distinguish O/0, I/1/l, etc.

What was particularly sad this time was that the mods here, instead of deleting the abusive comments which I reported several times, decided instead to remove the whole post altogether while those comments themselves were never touched. So, not only the reporting option became pointless, but it also removed (in my opinion) a nice conversation on the topic. In the mod log they wrote ‘reason: Troll bait’ for why the post was removed, but I find...let’s say very coincidental that every time a discussion about Hexbear (which might start very calmly at first) has then to be locked or deleted because of the trolling.
I am almost certain that the post was removed by one of the admins on Hexbear. See their modlog: https://hexbear.net/modlog?page=1&userId=172774. They removed almost all comments made by @[email protected], banned him, and removed the post.
The guy who replied to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in your second screenshot seems like one of the far-right wingers. They do not, in any capacity, represent the general population.
Permanently Deleted
I think maybe we should relax the rule for CCP, Russian, Stalinism, etc. apologia for this thread? I don't really see the purpose of this thread if those viewpoints aren't allowed here.
Thankfully, OP is from an instance that has not federated with Hexbear. Hexbear users won't be able to see this post.
I don't really agree with all the points you listed, but I want to say thank you for not employing the Hexbear approach to defend your position. I gave you an upvote.
ps. before anyone berates me for not also listing reasons to defend myself: I'm tired of arguing online.
Why does such a large portion of lemm.ee want to block hexbear.net? And, how can Hexbearians improve?
You won't see this, but I'm gonna say this anyway: Your admins also actively engage in building an echo chamber for Hexbears. Just look at the recent so-called "great purge" done by one of your admins. Your admins banned hundreds of people they disagree with politically. It's kind of hypocritical that any Hexbear accuses others of censoring dissidents.

Once a Hexbear harassed me by asking me to post a picture of my dick. I reported the comment, messaged one of the admins, but so far the admins have ignored the reports and those offending comments are still up. Heck, I even tried to message the admin through Matrix but she rejected (not ignore) my message request. The admins there do not care if people outside of Hexbear are harassed by Hexbears.
Those three links if you want to see it for yourself:
- https://hexbear.net/comment/3835889
- https://hexbear.net/comment/3835890
- https://hexbear.net/comment/3836492
It is my request that anyone reading this comment not message that admin to harass her.
And, that same admin conducted something they call the great purge in which they banned hundreds of people they don't agree with. Yet bounds of Hexbears are accusing the defederation advocates of "censoring people they don't agree with politically."

I know you won't see this, but how are the pithy, dismissive responses not trolling? Those replies are exactly trolling.

I'm stealing this phrase, thanks.
Good. Actually I was also banned for saying that Xi the Pooh isn't racist.
I don't get why some think that the US or Ukraine started the war. They did not. Russia started it. Why would any country attack another country 28 times its size?
Can we not assume that every question asked on Lemmy is hostile? I don't see what's wrong with that comment. Besides, I don't think @[email protected] is pro-hexbear anyway.
So eloquently and precisely did you sum up my experience with them that I am starting to suspect you are me.
My mom has loads of these Le Creuset pots.
My thoughts on Hexbear. Posting as the megathread was locked.
An album to outline a few comments I have received within the past 3 days:
(content warning: extremely toxic and sour comments, genocide denial)

(yes, I cherry picked the ones that are either rude or in denial of genocide. I
had to, or else the list would have gotten too long. If you want to see the
entirety of their replies, you should check out my comment history and click on
each link to see their replies.)
TL;DR: Hexbears deny the genocide against Uyghurs in China. They laugh at and dismiss the idea that China is a dictatorship. Having those opinions is fine, but they personally insult the people with whom they don't agree using annoying emojis and terms like troll, shit, shithead, Nazi apologist, colonial comprador, freak, rabid imperialist westerners, condescending dickbag, disingenuous idiot, unimaginative impotent weasel, losers, etc. They say that other people's claims are rooted in dishonest bullshit.

Google Authenticator and Twilio Authy generate different codes for Lemmy. One works, the other doesn't.
Hi. I was trying to set up 2FA in my settings, where there is a button named "2FA installation link." I right clicked on the button, copied the link, and put it into a QR code generator. I scanned it with Twilio Authy on my phone to add it. To my surprise, when I tried using it to log in, the generated codes simply do not work. I have 20ish entries on Authy and they all work, with the Lemmy accounts being the outliers. I have also tested the 2FA on my other account at feddit.nl, and it doesn't work with Authy either.
So, I tried using Google Authenticator instead. I used it to scan the very same QR code, and it spits out different codes from those generated by Authy. The ones generated by GAuthenticator work, whereas the Authy ones don't work. I wonder what the issue is?
