Hexbear Proposals chapo.chat matrix room.

This will be a place for site proposals and discussion before implementation on the site.
Every proposal will also be mirrored into a pinned post on the hexbear community.

Any other ideas for helping to integrate the two spaces are welcome to be commented here or messaged to me directly.

Within Hexbear Proposals you can see the history of all site proposals and react to them, indicating a vote for or against a proposal.

Sending messages will be restricted to verified and active hexbear accounts older than 1 month with their matrix id in their hexbear user profile.

All top level messages within the channel must be a Proposals (idea for changing the site), Feedback (regarding non-technical aspects of the site, for technical please use https://hexbear.net/c/feedback), or Appeals (regarding admin/moderator actions).

Discussion regarding these will be within nested threads under the post.

To gain matrix verification, all you need to do is navigate to my hexbear userprofile and click the send a secure private message including your hexbear username.

db0 and Unruffled have both been banned for reactionary behavior and, in the case of the former, DM harassment.

Due to these irreconcilable differences we thought it only right to allow the community to weigh in on defederating immediately.

According to this person "tankie" is anyone that criticizes the privilege of white westerners in the imperial core who have been privileged and comfortable their entire lives off of the backs of colonized people.

As always, use dean-smile to vote for federation and dean-frown to vote for defederation.

i started out on a reactionary instance and got radicalized by you guys. you should keep it up.

I'm never averse to engaging with reactionaries. I have often found that younger people from republican families are easier to radicalise than younger people from democrat families, these young people are already anti-liberal and anti-media, a small amount of education connects the dots on how society actually functions for them that the conservative sphere isn't providing and suddenly they radicalise HARD.

Yeh the older reactionaries are more or less lost causes though.

What I would really like to create is a methodology for opening a Chomsky to fully Marxist pipeline. There's an absolutely huge number of soft-left Chomsky fans who are anti-tankie and breaking that down by focusing on the people Chomsky currently works with all being tankies and supporting China seems to have potential breaking that down. I think Chomsky himself agrees with those around him but feels pressure to not say it, but then again he hasn't really been shy about calling ukraine run by nazis and the media liars about the size of the nazi problem there... So maybe it's not about pressure. Hard to say.
