Haven't been here long enough to have witnessed too much domestic discourse, but there's something I've found endlessly hilarious.
Seeing Hexbear's federation and mere presence become a forcing move (like in chess) for instances to make it clear where their political and class loyalties lie.
We've seen the cookie cutter, big tent, generic "all are welcome" type instances speedrun into fascism and straight into their own graves. This trend has followed suit with spaces that claim to be "safe" for the sexually divergent (most notably trans), yet act effectively, in practice, as a flytrap or honeypot to reel in the vulnerable population and facilitate their bullying and abuse at the hands of the intolerant (Blahaj or 196 as it's most widely recognized now).
This type of shit is speeding up and intensifying contradictions and forcing off masks while elevating class consciousness, and also making it clear that currently all roads point to Hexbear for actual refuge as a vulnerable demographic. It's a win-win-win as we stand to benefit the most from the brain drain liberal instances always experience due to anti-communism. It's an irrefutable fact and immutable future that anti-communism leads to an inevitable concentration of the worst society has to offer and thus, naturally, an exodus from those instances since those types of people are time tested proven to be the people nobody wants to be around on the internet. They (victims of the abuse) see how we operate here and often seek asylum, which we're more than happy to provide. From there, exposure to our ideas and theory takes care of the rest and solidifies the delivering to their final political destinations (most prominently Marxism-Leninism).
Looking forward to the next Big Tech controversy delivering the next spike in Fediverse traffic, because this shit never gets old seeing capitalism failing in real-time while also cultivating healthy spaces of the internet I actually want to participate in and be part of. The trend is irreversibly in our favor. Reactionaries will end up on islands isolated from the wider Fediverse (a fate most likely to befall Blahaj), and continents will show a steady upward trend in quality of discourse and solidarity. Liberalism can't compete with what we've got, and they're forced to grapple with it now. They will find the only options are to capitulate or perish, because the world's tired of the liberal internet facilitating hate.
