Yes, there was a chance ‘you’ could have been born in Antarctica.

Remember everyone: 100.00% does not mean all, and 0.00% does not mean none, just like 50.00% does not mean exactly half. They all are accurate to 0.005% points.

Do you think it’s really 7.66 for north america or is it nearly 7.66?

we’ve gone completely M.A.D.

TIL of Aotearoa, thanks for sharing. That’s a bad-ass name, NZ should switch back to that.

Lemmy: every single on of those

My experience with .world has generally been mild, though I have seen hexbear users criticize them often for being too conservative. I guess I don’t interact with .world much.

No, that’s not it. I am not denying that there is constructive and high-effort activity on the instance. But the moment-to-moment conversation is superlatively hostile, (at least when I show up lol), and I’m making pretty tame comments – it’s not because of me. I don’t anywhere near that amount of venom in other instances.

Yeah that’s basically my feelings too. I wonder why they are so defensive. (edit: /gen)

Oh I see, didn’t realize this is what it was. Honestly that’s so much worse than what I was thinking.

I don’t really know how to do that other than to dig through replies from hexbear users pointing out how much vitriol they use. But in general, there’s a lot of name-calling (e.g. since you disagree with me, you must be a “white cracker,” “minstrel,” etc. – wtf kind of problem these guys have with minstrels I don’t understand); a lot of posting of flippant reaction images instead of actual responses, and so on. They’re clearly very angry about politics, which I get, but also have no interest in actually debating politics with any level of subtlety; even when I agree with someone in broad strokes but disagree about a particular item because I think it’s counter-productive to their own cause, I just get harshly told off. As a result, I can only assume they imagine everyone else is disingenuous.

I think one encounter with hexbear is going to inform most users better than any third-party warning.

I align more closely with hexbear politics than almost all non-hexbear users. IMO, their politics is not the problem – they’re just an astoundingly toxic community.

What would they be called?

NGL I would love to see Nintendo give Luigi Mario a rocket launcher.

ngl this is such a toxic community. The Nazi thing is definitely part of the problem – we live in an age of “soft fascism” so of course we have our fists up and we see nazis everywhere. Honestly I think most of the nazis are on twitter or truth social though, they don’t come to lemmy so much. Hmm, don’t assume that someone espousing an (1) conservative-looking belief is a nazi maybe?

fighting to the last breath

died with a gun in his hand, even.

search engines hardly index lemmy unfortunately. Probably due to having too much repeated content on different URLs.

I see no horses posted – oh, right
