Yep, that's some hardcore leftist echochamber. I've had a whole bunch of communities there blocked up until you could block entire instances, now they and lemmygrad are completely gone. Plus I've blocked about 50 of the most prolific users from either community who kept pushing their vitriol on other instances.

I quickly blocked all of hexbear's socio-politically influenced communities. I however actually do enjoy engaging with their userbase on other more leisurely topics.
There are also users who are too left to be accepted there
At this point, I'm not even sure what their interpretation of "left" actually means. But seeing so many "Death to Israel" posts with burning flags there was probably the most disgusting lemmy comments content I have seen so far. Maybe, I should block their domain in my router...
They're not left; they're Soviet conservatives. They LARP as leftists to sow chaos in the West
Well, that would explain why there were also a few "Death to America" comments.
I'd have to say the wanton killing of Palestinian children ranks a little higher on my disgusting meter, than a bunch of terminally online folks burning flags.
You know what? That's actually true. I saw a report of Gaza doctors who described the injured patients. That was actually more disgusting. Totally on your side.
I changed my comment to limit it on Lemmy user comments.
Just go to https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/settings -> blocks (tab on top) and scroll to the bottom, there's a "block instance" section.
You'll still see the users if they comment elsewhere, but most stick to their turf.
Thanks. I did not know that blocking an instance without blocking all the users is even possible.
Yeah, going Israel on Israel won't really solve the existence of antisocial tyrannical behavior in the world.
As long as you are an authoritarian, they love you. So sucking Hitler’s cock and sucking Stalin’s cock are the same thing to them. Just suck Putin’s cock, and you’re all good. That’s the proof. Suck the cock of anyone who murders lots of people for pleasure, and that’s all it takes to gain the approval of anyone on hexbear.net
Anyone commenting from that instance is a literal fucking psychopath.
Lemmy.ml used to be reasonable, but has become a puppet cone of it.
I am very glad I have both of them blocked, so I don’t have to see the diarrhea of tantrums that will follow as replies to this comment. As a special note to all of the complainers, I very much look forward to all of the crybaby comments that will follow that I will never see.
Criticising hierarchies and power structures within leftist or revolutionary struggles gets you there very quickly.
Well that's how all communistic regimes are unfortunately. Nothing out of ordinary there
Middle left? Sounds lotta liberal to me
I'm from Germany.
We have more political options than just "conservative or liberal" here.
Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on the rights of the individual, liberty, consent of the governed, political equality, right to private property and equality before the law.
Am I liberal according to that? yes.
Liberty is the state of being free within society from oppressive restrictions imposed by authority on one's way of life, behavior, or political views.
Am I liberal according to that? yes.
But this applies probably to most of the people, probably also you.
We have a German party calling themselves the liberals (FDP) and they fight for a more liberal economy, e.g. less control through the state. Do I vote for them? No. Too much focus on the rich..
So, am I liberal in the end? Depends on how you define it.
Maybe center-left is a better word...
