If you think this post is dorky, theres a comment you can upbear to tell me how dorky and bad you think my post is, but still upvote the post for visibility knifecat


I think our posting is too powerful, simply by posting as we always would, or even at a lower intensity, we overwhelm people with replies to the point that can feel like a coordinated dogpile.

I think we should be conscious not to reply *if another hexbear has already said basically what you were going to"

I don’t wanna see a lib take, and then scroll down to see the same 3 lines 10 times that I knew would be there before I looked like we’re redditors

Now, if theres a Nazi I expect to see a thousand “fuck off and die nazi scum”, but if its a liberal giving a lukewarm liberal take, we should consciously not pile on. And if you just have to add something, take a second to make it digestible for other instances, if you’re not posting on Hexbear.

This isn’t a tone policing thing, I’m not wagging my finger at you for being rude, I just think its simply unwise to proceed as we have been, tactically. We will alienate people we don’t need to, for example any left-leaning liberal who happens to be neurodivergent and say something libbish, we’re just absolutely annihilating them.

I also think its important to tone down the PPB, for everyone not in hexbear, seeing a PPB should be like seeing officer-down , announcing the fall of a nazi or fucko. People should see it and smile and say “ahh, they got another one” not “oh these fuckin people”

TLDR: If its been said don’t say it again, if you’re gonna say it, make sure its understandable and proportionate.

    Please, don’t post less. I think it’s important that people start to perceive “actual communists” as something not frInge, and one of the “metrics” for something to be perceived as not fringe is how widespread it is. I’m not even from Hexbear, but I’ve already started to see libs having more trouble to impose their unfactual crap when there’s many more people to counteract with good info.

      Liberals going from spewing their bullshit amongst themselves to having to contend with people with functioning frontal lobes is like the US military going from bombing weddings and hospitals to fighting a near peer war

        Precisely, and quantity also matters when it comes to having a stronger discourse: It’s much easier for 10 libs to dogpile on 1 comrade, than 10 libs to dogpile on 10 comrades.
