    Hexbear and ml, hexbear is by far the worst. New people come on and wander onto these communities and say something that upsets them and get trolled to the point where they quit let me altogether it’s actually a big problem.

    I’m against censorship but many of these instances are not entirely wrong to De Federate from them, you have no idea how bad they are in this regard they are super aggressive. And their reach extends beyond those instances. If you piss them off there, they will get you banned here and there and elsewhere, and troll you.

    To their credit, they were some of the original Developers as they were the first to be purged from reddit, and this is basically a Reddit refugee site.



  • They are communists, in League with the remnants of such, Russia and China even though they are both now the worst capitalist hellscapes.

    They are a sort of top-down organization, they have enforcers and they will troll you, they will troll you from other instances, they’re rather known for it.

    The people in charge are pieces of fucking shit, although they have a lot of users that are pretty cool, same as .ml it’s the same people. Leadership, pieces of fucking shit, users, mostly cool.









  • The last part is always bad, even if theoretically it may not be. When you have a hundred to a thousand terms and conditions being pushed on you for a near immediate signature, that’s because they can add that one part being illegal doesn’t make the rest unenforceable, and now instead of a single page of terms we have a hundred.

    There is a reason the Courts made that rule of disqualifying the entire contract of such contracts if one part was illegal, and they have rules and tests for when that applies too in such cases to prevent any legitimate mistakes from cancelling an entire contract.


  • Most of such terms were unenforceable in the US too, until around 2001 or so, and it just got worse from there. The supreme court made it official in the 10’s sometime if I recall, endorsing even making consumers or employees sign away their rights to sue to either buy something or get hired.

    All that wage theft from minimum wage workers, which exploded in the bush years, happened with employees unable to sue, instead only being able to bring a binding arbitration suit of the employer’s choosing. And knowing them they would make the claimant pay a big filing fee to start the process.

    It also used to be that if one part of such a contract was found to be illegal, the entire thing would be thrown out, not any more.
