    I’ve been a member of .world for a long time but finally switched to .dbzer0 and started encountering you guys. I was wary at first but so far it seems like you guys are pretty alright, and that a lot of the shit .world talks is unfounded.

    Oh yeah and fuck Trump

      we can be pretty abrasive but also we have some very knowledgeable and funny people. Just be willing to listen and engage in good faith. We save the worst of it for annoying redditors with the same half dozen sophomoric points we’ve all heard a million times before because we have no interest entertaining them here.

      I never understood the hate either, I saw a lot of people trash talking hexbear a while back, but I’ve never had a bad experience with any of its members. My personal take is that most people who encounter opinionated people with a different ideology, somehow interpret a difference of opinion as a conflict.

      It’s absolutely hilarious how scared they are of us vs how we are. Don’t arrogantly run your mouth or talk down to people who know more than you and everyone will be nice. Especially don’t double down and usually eventually resort to slurs and getting banned which is about 70% of the time. If you show up in a community that you aren’t part of with the sole intention of ‘owning the tankies’ don’t be surprised to get clapped, they’re like youtube prank guys who say words that are almost the n word in black neighborhoods.
