I do believe I said “immediately attacking and dogpiling trans women who point out that the situation would be much worse under Trump”, not using transphobic slurs or whatever.

Nice astroturfing, though. I see you out here.

I drive a cab and talk politics all day in one of the most leftist regions in the US. I’ve never so much as heard the name in person. Including from other socialists and active agitators for workers rights.

Good thing hexchan’s take is totally irrelevant!

Nope. Blocked the community and all the users who replied. Go dig around in their trashcan of an instance if you like. Or just tell them you’re trans and want to make sure Trump doesn’t get into office so you don’t have to flee the country and watch them come out of the woodwork.

I feel like those posters aren’t really socialists either. There’s a point which just claiming a worldview isn’t enough to justify the accuracy of that label while holding all the opposing positions to its values.

I’ve been having a number of conversations on Hexchan recently trying to make sense of their politics. The most common instance of their hateful hypocrisy I’ve encountered is this constant assurance that they support trans people while immediately attacking and dog piling and trans people who point out that the situation would be much worse under Trump.

I live in Massachusetts. We are a very blue state and we’re one of the best places in the world to transition. We have informed consent, legal protection of our basic rights, and mandatory insurance coverage of trans health care, which state insurance also covers. Whatever you think of the DNC, the Democrats in Massachusetts are absolutely allies of trans people who’ve worked to actively protect our rights.

Still, I’m well aware of the danger that federal law could potentially pose. I know there may be a time when I have to flee the country if things get bad enough, and that’s a lot more likely under Trump.

But they don’t actually care about my rights, happiness, or safety, or those of any other trans people. They don’t care what happens to us, they just want to use us as a bludgeon to dunk on people.

The hexchanners who aren’t actively Russian trolls seem to be little more than useful idiots for conservatives, minimizing the damage they do to vulnerable populations and engaging in high school level pettiness and hate.

I’d like to block all users and posts from hexchan, exploding heads, and lemmygrad. I don’t care if it sends the data as long as it blocks it from my UI.

What’s that written in? Python? I need to learn Python.

I honestly wouldn’t give those people the dignity of calling them leftists. They’re too concerned about cosplaying as activists and dunking on people to actually give a shit about advancing the rights of real people or trying to protect anything good.

Honestly, it’s begun to feel more hostile and shady. Pretty sure the Russian trolls are here, but hexchan ain’t helping either. I’m waiting for a client side instance block feature. We really need it.

Out here desperately hoping that the fake leftists propping up Trump are mostly Russian trolls or just a pocket of internet children. I think actual real life people on the left in the US largely get how dangerous this could be.

I think it leaves us with factory feudalism.

I definitely noticed that it’s pretty seamlessly replaced Reddit for me at this point. It’s been a decent source of stuff to read and there’s enough of it now that I don’t feel like I’m just seeing the same thing repeatedly.

I like reading articles and discussions, so it’s nice to be able to have that without propping up some big toxic company.

Wow! I think I’ll go back to school!

I’ll believe it in a couple of years if he doesn’t turn up having faked his death again.

I’ve been running a githyanki monk wizard and I love it. I can use medium armor and swords. I’m playing it as like a secret Zerth convert. It’s a better gish then eldritch knight or arcane trickster.

I’d like to see another Planescape game or like something set on Krynn or Athas or in Wildspace. A Ravenloft game could be cool.

There’s soooo much room to explore in the D&D universe, it’s okay to go more than a few hundred miles from the Sword Coast. Not that I don’t love the region.

Massachusetts is literally the most significant state. It’s a forest with health care. We’re basically elves.

Honestly I can’t get Wiltshire out of my head. Rhotal rs? What? They sound like they’re from New England until they say something that makes my brain twist. I love it.

Why do so many Europeans seem to think the whole country is Texas?
