Sorry (🍁) we did this without making a post, but after receiving several complaints we defederated from hexbear.net yesterday.

Here’s a few quick examples of poor conduct by hexbear users:

They warned their users to behave themselves, but that didn’t work: https://hexbear.net/post/280770?scrollToComments=false

      No calls for violence seems like a simple rule. And not every landlord is greedy mcshitstain with 50 properties, many of them are a single family with their starter home rented out, or a couple renting out their extra room.

        Communists don’t care for that distinction, they believe all landlords (even non-exploitative ones like you mentioned) are inherrently exploitative and therefore deserving of death. Yes, this applies to you even if you just rent out a room, but don’t worry, money won’t exist and everything will be free!

      Calling for execution of anyone seems a bit extreme to me.

          Taxing, regulation, confiscation are all places we could start from that won’t create the problem of having to erase parts of our history so we can live with it.

      some landlords might have to go but there are degrees. Speculating in housing is unethical, but a small land leech isn’t some kulag who needs to be ended.

      Also, property managers, really? They are just wage workers.

        That you call them small land leeches really speaks for itself

      Nothing’s wrong with hating landlords. I hate landlords. Lots of people hate landlords. There’s a difference between calling for economic reform and calling for mass executions.
