I keep hearing the term in political discourse, and rather than googling it, I’m asking the people who know better than Google.

    In addition to the reasoning I’ve already given, their intentional bolding of comments like these:

    “These organizations constitute the modern imperial order, with the United States at its heart - we are not fooled by the term “rules-based international order.” It is in the Left’s interest for these organizations to be demolished. When and how this will occur, and what precisely comes after, is the cause of great debate and discussion on this site, but it is necessary for a better world.”

    This was a statement on the stances of Hexbear, not a call to action. The Lemmy.world admins highlighted it to show why ideologically this was unacceptable to them, plain and simple.

      Again: I asked for you to quote them saying they were defederating because hexbear users have stances common to communists.

      What you gave me was your interpretation of why they bolded some text.

        They listed stances common to communists as an example of what to defederate from. Tell me, why would they bold it? As Edie said, you’re just sealioning.

          That’s probably true – quite a few things in those quotes

          as an example of what to defederate from

          This is the lie.

            Why did they bold the line about the left wanting to dismantle the IMF, NATO, etc? It certainly wasn’t because it was telling users to wage ideological war, it was to highlight unacceptable ideology.

            Stop sealioning.

              They actually didn’t bold it lol. But let’s assume you meant “include”.

              Why did hexbear include it in their announcement? Why highlight an ideology they want to target while specifically telling their userbase, who they acknowledge are trolls, to try and play nice during the propaganda war on this new (to them) instance? Could it be that they are manufacturing an archetype of the average Lemmy World user?

              Why would Lemmy World admins want to sign up for that? And why do you keep pretending that they just wanted to federate and be chill?

                They did bold it:

                It isn’t bolded in the original text:

                Either you’re lying, like you keep accusing everyone else, or you don’t care enough about the truth to check. In both cases it’s clear you’re sealioning.

                  the line about the left wanting to dismantle the IMF, NATO, etc

                  Literally nothing in that line is bolded. Maybe get your eyes checked?

                  Or I’m right, and you do lie about things you post for some reason.

                  In both cases it’s clear you’re sealioning

                  I thought you might not know what that meant, but now I know you don’t.

                  Notice you have nothing to say about the actual meat of what I said though. And we all know why that is.

                    I showed you images of them bolding the part about the left’s interests in their quotations. You can drop the act, I posted photo evidence of it.
