Some communities there are literally calling for the annihilation of Ukraine

edit: Since people are either willfully or otherwose are missing my point, this is a pro-russia, pro-fascist hate group, therefore we shouldn’t give them the platform to spread their shit. this is not about me seeing their community or then causing issues accross other communities, it’s about de-platforming fascists.

    so what does it help if I block it? I can block it out, that doesn’t solve anything, it will still be there.

      Some of their stuff finally hit my feed. I’ve blocked them on my instance. I take what I said back.

              Doesn’t mean anything, to you. One person making demands to change things for the masses is just a sad affair is all. Doesn’t really matter what the subject is, I’m not a fan of seeing it. Have you tried blocking the community on your own devices/account? “I don’t like it, so nobody else should have to see it too” is lame af

              Edit: here, block me for practice. Lmao

                you make it sound like I blocked you I didn’t.

                Just to be clear I am in no way comparing myself to the people in the links I am not delusional, I am just pointing how incredibly stupid what you said is.

                I don’t like it, so nobody else should have to see it too

                It’s not “I don’t like it”, it’s fascists, bit of a difference, also:

                  I’m not making it sound like anything bud, just trying to help you learn how blocking works, Hexbears aren’t fascists, they’re leftists. Some of them are a bit cookoo for CCPuffs, (or ruskie puffs), but calling all of them fascists is incorrect. The civil rights movement doesn’t have shit to do with this. I’m black, I’m leftist, and I’m telling you you’re being whiny and that you can just block the communities that you don’t like.

                  Edit: don’t you just love when the person you’re arguing with uses quotes and links like a condescending, pretentious robot?

                    you can’t be a bit “cookoo” for Russia stuff and not be a fascists at the same time.

                    that’s like being a big fan of Hitler while not being a fucking nazi.
