Of course I do have you read my username?
Completely own fucking goal too.
Like, what has he achieved here?
Hexbear was going to cause no problems. This has caused no problems for Hexbear - on the contrary it's REALLY FUNNY. All it has achieved is pissing off half this userbase, splitting the community and making a mockery of everything this instance pretended it stood for.
Complete own goal, entirely for egotism and ideology.
After scanning through a few options, Lemm.ee looks extremely promising.
They do not federate with grad or hexbear.
Eugene V Debs, a communist that ran for US president from his prison cell, securing 3.4% of the vote. Also the former state representative of Indiana.
weren’t even using any of the artwork or branding
Yes they were. That's not true again. It has changed since which is certainly an improvement, but hardly the whole issue.
Looking at lemm.ee maybe, but thanks for the suggestions.
Nah mate pretty damn sure I told you I wasn't sure what the position of the team would be until further discussion... A further discussion that didn't happen because ignoring that response sealed everything.
At this point communications have clearly broken down to the point we will nitpick forever though.
Do you honestly expect anyone to believe that fucking North Korea ranks highly in ANY developmental index. What a fucking joke. Get your head out of your ass.
What are you imagining the country as? Do you think it's some country where people push carts? It's certainly not sunshine and roses but I think you'll be surprised to hear 50-80% of the population owns a smartphone and at least 6million of the population use a contract mobile operator. https://www.38north.org/2022/11/twenty-years-of-mobile-communications-in-north-korea/
Looking into ownership rates of basic stuff like this is a pretty good way to get perspective on this kind of thing, especially when so far out of touch.
Yes it fucking was a colony. Calling somewhere "independent" and puppeting it while maintaining all colonial extractions is not freedom from colonialism.
You only learned the country's name this week, and your entire understanding of this topic is from wikipedia. I am very much willing to give them, Burkina Faso and Mali an opportunity to be better, or not. At which point I will adjust my opinion.

At least get the name of the fucking country right. You're naming the wrong ass country.
A bit different for this kind of community but I suspect it might be of interest to some americans, particularly if any of you are organisers.
These events are essentially trade unionism and communist pride parades, before pride parades. And form a fairly useful connection between trade unionists as a fundamental identity to be proud of and local communities. These parades will then eventually culminate in large speeches by relevant organisers and activists.
Their secondary function is that it becomes impossible to propagandise and villainise important historical militant trade unionists and communists included in banners in parades when local communities march celebrating them every year without being deterred. Banners include Marx, Engels Lenin, James Connolly, and various other militant trade unionists important to the history of these unions.
Things are a bit rough around the edges right now, this is the first time the event has been put on again post-covid after a 3 year absence, socialists observed a rather longer gap in events despite capitalists "opening up".
This is the 137th time the event has been held.

Sorry what? I can't read context so I don't quite get what you're trying to say. Could you maybe quote what you were responding to?
I'm not sure what the problem is with hexbear's rules. It's a socialist instance of course it aims to remain socialist. Do you look at the lgbt instances and say "how dare they have motivations to keep their community lgbt!" No of course you don't. It's a fundamentally absurd notion.
Hexbear's goal is to be leftist and have a fucking laugh while doing it. Nothing more. This shit has created a mountain of entertainment, nothing changes for Hexbear but this instance has pissed and shit all over itself.
