You’re engaging in victim blaming. It’s not my fault for not being proactive in the way you think is the best for myself when you community behaves like like trolls.

You are aware of your own compulsions, you are aware of hexbear, you are aware of the impact the post would have and yet you did not do anything until the large amount of hexbear activity began after the post reached the top of the active/all post sort.

Victim blaming

When that started you again did not do anything other than individually disengage from users that presented arguments you weren’t prepared to discuss despite the availability of mod tools that would have coped with your compulsion as well as limited the post’s activity.

Victim blaming and gaslighting.

I don’t dispute that it’s your space but I do dispute the claim of ableism because you were not targeted or discriminated against for your condition, another neurodiverse person called you out for using your neurodiversity as a shield when you have ample means by which to proactively protect yourself and yet you choose not to use them so that you could have fun riling up Hexbear.

Ableism doesn’t just mean using the R-word. I explained why it was ableism. You now chose to ignore this completely, which means you’re just covering up for ableism and their admin to boot, which just further reinforces why hexbear has an ableism problem, which is supported by the many ND people who have expressed stress interacting inside hexbear, even ND hexbears themselves.

You claimed as much regarding your comment about making similar posts about liberals however since .worlders did not come with concrete, evidence based arguments you did not feel the need to use your coping mechanisms.

So. you clearly were more than capable of going through all my comments to find the little tidbits you think support your bad faith interpretations, but supposedly couldn’t do it to find the many places I called out hexbear ableism. That points out the deliberate manipulation you’re engaging in. To answer you question, I disengage with libs just as much.

ProfesserOwl is not questioning your neurodiversity or your coping mechanisms they are calling you out for excusing your behavior with your neurodiversity.

You’re lying. They literally gaslit me and said my coping mechanism are actually a coverup for cowardice. I.e. they’re goarding so that I disregard my coping mechanisms and engage in a mentally harming behaviour. You’re now the 6th hexbear doubling down on ableism.

Continuing to engage in self-harming behaviors in the name of neurodiversity does an incredible disservice to neurodivergent people.

Victim blaming

Sorry I will not further engage with ableists and victim blamers, no matter how polite their bad faith and concern trolling arguments are written.

I don’t see any reports of ableism,

Just check the modlogs of this comm for ableism bans.

I’m trying to work with you here but you aren’t giving me anything to work with

Because I don’t have any more patience for Hexbear-brand bad faith and manipulation and when I try to interact with y’all in good faith, I instantly regret it.

But fine, while I don’t think you’re planning to do anything and are just baiting me with good faith again, here’s just one of the comments thread where I explicitly explained my autism coping mechanisms for a hexbear-swarmed thread like this, in good faith. This only led to gaslighting and bad faith assumptions, served with self-righteousness. Once I banned this user, at least 4 other hexbears doubled and tripled down on the same assumptions elsewhere in the thread, continuing to gaslight, goad, and just make out of whole cloth what’s in my head. All of these upvoted by yet more hexbears as well.

Just in case it’s still not clear:

• When a large hostile group invades the space of an autistic person and then gaslights them for the coping mechanisms they use to deal with that situation (after they explained it in good faith, no less). That’s ableism.
• When an autistic person tries to disengage from a stressful situation a group put them in, and that group ridicules that act in order to goad their autistic compulsions to have them continue engaging and end up like a “lolcow” for them, that’s ableism.

I cannot make this any more clear.

Lol no, they just doubled down

Ok so you’re just covering up for ableists as well which as much as I expected. But I didn’t expect you to actively trivialize ableism like this so you can make passive aggressive notes.

That attention is the dying embers of the torch he took to his career

Since you’re here, You gonna do anything about all the ableist hexbears I keep having to ban from my comm, or nah?

The fifth upvoted hexbear promoting ableism and denigrating the disengage rule. Great showing of their supposed intolerance of ableism, for sure.

And this is after I painstakingly explained to this person why this is ableist to the point where they had nothing more to say. So instead they just repeated their made-up assumptions elsewhere, going directly against what I explained I was doing, because it just wouldn’t be hexbear if bad faith wasn’t the modus operanti.

This is such bullshit. Models have already consumed all available data and have nothing left to consume, whole needing exponentially more data for progressive advancements

You need yo block the alibaba subnets primarily. In my experience this is where most of them originate

Oof that was somewhere in autumn 2023

That’s not even close. I have one with 1k+ angry hexbear comments

You think I’m “allying with” people because I don’t feel comfortable being around anticommunists and made fun the situation here.

In that case, all I will say is maybe read the room? You’re not acting in isolation and whether you realize it or not, you became part of something greater than just your post. Like I said elsewhere in here, it’s like the fan group or some influencer all going to the target du-jour and leaving that one “mocking” comment. In isolation it’s easily ignored, but you’re not working in isolation, and honestly, I think you knew it.

In any case, I don’t think we’re getting anywhere with this discussion. You can have the last word.

I disengage, I get mocked for it. I don’t disengage, I get unsolicited advice from hostile onlookers to disengage. FFS!

Yes, It does come as smug superiority when you go all “I work in actual real life orgs, I don’t just post anticommunist snark online like you.” How do you not see that? Do you see me flexing up my anarchist creds in this discussion?

I am disappointed in you because you are directly allying with non-anarchists to bully anarchists for their anarchist views (and because you chose to shame the disengage rule in the process). You are disappointed in me because I make fun of non-anarchist movements. I am happy that your scene has MLs that are collaborative with anarchists, but why is it so hard to not accept that other anarchists have different experiences than you?

Exactly, that’s the only thing I have to go with, and fact of the matter is all I see you doing is allying in bullying other anarchists alongside with tankies. Likewise, all you have to go for is me making an anarchist meme, then defending myself against a bullying attempt and the usual ugliness this leads to. And note that my phrasing was very exact. “Much to be desired by other anarchists like me”. I.e. I don’t mean I’m better than you, or that you’re not a good anarchist, I’m just disappointed and wary.

For a revolt to lead to an anarchist future, it has to be an anarchist revolution (i.e. a revolution caused via the destabilizing effects of prefiguration on the system).

Well so long as you come out of this smug enough about your superiority as an anarchist, it’s all good.

Yay, 4th upvoted hexbear ableism apologist in this thread alone.

You should go and whine about it in yet another defed thread you open, shit bird. Now fuck off.

.ML is clearly run and administered by MLs, we all know that. Being there doesn’t make one a tankie or someone to be disregarded outright and I never accused anyone of it, but it is still a factor when trying to figure out someone’s motivations, because staying there is a choice. I still don’t think it’s correct for that person to jump to the conclusion you’re a tankie, but I understand why they did it. So neither did I call you bad from being from .ml, nor did I engage in “red scare”. In fact I explicitly said I take your word for your allegiances, even though you behaviour has been defacto in defense of “left unity” which many anarchists reject outright.

However, If you think the choice of home instance never has any importance, I’d beg to disagree and I can present many examples of instances where simply being in them says a lot about the person.
