Meta post I’ve decided to make. I enjoyed the unixporn subreddit a lot when I used reddit more. I enjoy customizing my linux de as much as the next nerd.
But you definitely shouldn’t use racist slang to refer to the process.
To be clear, I didn’t know the origin of the term ‘ricing’ until fairly recently. I was chattimg with my friend and used it to describe my de setup. They informed me that apparently it’s from car customization, and is a pejorative against generally asian men who customize their car to look like a racecar.
After learning this I was sad to realize just how engrained it is in linux de customization culture. I personally have stopped using the term, and I would ask everyone here stop as well.
Along comes another troglodyte, mothers milk dripping off his lips, hurling insults at imaginary strawmanned arguments. But hexbear is totally not a problem instance.
I see no pronouns in names on my end boss.
lol stfu you dweebs whine about our pronouns all day long
Ok, so you’re not necessarily a transphobe, but just another of this string of month-old accounts who has barely been active on this site at all beyond throwing a tantrum about hexbear users “coming in and ruining everything”.
Well I’d vager it is because we come to lemmy to escape reddit and all we see is hexbear users coming in and ruining everything. I mean as I stated earlier, even blahaj considering defedding from hexbear should be telling of the state of affairs. If that community has a problem with you, and that does not raise any flags, idk what does.
I don’t want to go all “well akshually” here, but actually we defedded from blahaj because the community is largely made up of r/196 users who post transphobic chaser shit without getting banned by the mods there. Yes, of course these people also have a problem with us because they’re rabid anti-communists, but we defedded form them because they’re a bunch of sex pests fetishizing and objectifying trans people and thinking it’s ok to make demands about which genitals we’re allowed to have to please their fetishes. Why should we stay federated with an instance like that?
And again, I have nothing against the core values of hexbear, I sympathise with most of them, including communism, but every time I see hexbear out in the wild it is a screaming match blown out of proportion. If anyone ever appears to be having a tantrum, it seems to be hexbear users 9/10 times for not getting their way the moment they opened their mouth.
They’re literally right there in both of our instances

when a conservative gets unreasonably triggered they are 5-15x more likely to start projecting
