I think mayocide and self hating whiteness are a very small overall part of hexbear posting. it’s inevitable to see more of it in a thread like this when people from across the lemmyverse are gut reacting to some real tepid “death to white people” shit posting and trying to report it like they’re on Reddit where the Admins will just coup any mod who doesn’t capitulate to their “rules based order”.

And the rudeness honestly has some real world utility here. We aren’t like and don’t aspire to be like Reddit where horrible evil can be defended and advocated for as long as you strike the right respectful tone, and if we can sus out and turn away people who value tone above material reality that’s useful. It isn’t the conscious reason for the way we are but it does play a small role.
