Has anyone else noticed how prevalent Hexbear posters have suddenly become? Maybe sometime last week I noticed nearly every political post had at least one long thread of Hexbear users that do nothing but repeat CCP talking points while waving anyway anything even remotely reliable as Western propaganda. That or getting all...
Ah yes, the classic wealthy journalist. Everyone knows that reporting is where the big bucks truly lie. I guess it’s impossible for literally anyone living anywhere but the like 3 countries that pretend to be communist to report on anything accurately.
outside of running your own instance, asking your instance’s owner to block them, or joining one that already has the offender on the blocklist, no. It’s requested a lot though so it’s probably on the todo list
Hexbear is particularly vexing to me. According to the fediverse observer they’re less than a month old and yet have already become one of the most active instances.
you’ve got to consider that to a lot of these people racism “isn’t real” because their bar for what qualifies as racist is set incredibly high. “how could that be racist if it’s true?”
you can see a similar anti-trans sentiment in the people who defend jk rowling. “she’s just saying gender can’t mismatch assigned sex, how could the truth be transphobic?” nothing could ever be transphobic or racist or whatever to these people when they think very concept of being bigoted isn’t legitimate
Me personally? I’ve become much less tolerant of sexist humor. Back in the day, cracking a joke at women’s expense was pretty common when I was a teen. As I’ve matured and become aware to the horrific extent of toxicity and bigotry pervading all tiers of our individualistic society, I’ve come to see how exclusionarly and...
twitter. thats as deep as it goes. like how they try to get people to put hashtags in their titles despite no one using hashtags to find videos. corporations try not to turn everything into a homogeneous blob challenge: impossible.
it’s funny because they tried to do this push a few years ago too where everyone new had an @ and they eventually dropped it because it was dumb. i guess whichever exec thought that was a good idea never actually left
I bet we fall just outside the top 10. Seems pretty busy here to me, plus our LOTR memes make top upvoted pretty frequently. Honestly I’m wondering if the user distribution might be pretty dang good below the top 5 servers or so; 234k could be a serious underestimation of the actual active userbase if the next 20 servers all have 1k+
idk, im surprised it took this long. there’s a huge variety of admin teams with varying degrees of security awareness and it’s been over a month since the first big influx of users started. it’ll happen again too and probably not before too long
idk the whole idea of a test is to demonstrate understanding, which this doesn’t. i feel like a good teacher wouldnt take off points, but would have to pull the student aside and be like “ok now circle the tens place, hundreds place, etc”
Oh come on. This is obviously a kid’s test, and the kid knew they were being a smartass. What’s less clear is whether the kid knew the actual answers.
In your world you start having to write “solve the equations to their simplest forms” on tests for kindergarteners who won’t even know what that means in order to avoid technically correct nonsense like “1 + 1 = 1 + 1”. Room should be made for genuinely unclear test directions, but this is not one of those cases.
Edit, maybe he should have gotten credit for literally writing “a number with a 2 in the ones place.” The test should have used “provide an example,” not “write!”
Do better with the language next time, and it won’t happen again.
Reward the kid for being a smartass and intentionally misreading directions, and it ABSOLUTELY will happen again. Unless you’re gonna start spending an hour writing incredibly precise paragraphs for each exercise like a magician giving instructions to a genie, there will always be some technically correct version that wasn’t what the question intended.
This is so silly. Kids aren’t code compilers. They know what’s being asked of them. This is like shrugging your shoulders and just letting it happen when a kid is doing the whole “I’m not touching you!” shtick.
Unless you actually somehow think this was a genuine misunderstanding of the test directions, then they were clear and the student provided useless answers on purpose.
Getting points is a reward for giving right answers. If the student wants to play language games on his math exam, let em fuck around and find out. But they do have to find out. Literally all I’ve suggested is making the student demonstrate actual understanding. Thinking even that is somehow going too far is absolutely ludicrous.
All the PC parts should be compatible on paper but if there is something standing out please let me know. Or if there is a better alternative that I am not aware of, I would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks!...
“Vitamin” is basically the 19th century’s idea of a sciencey word for “nutrients.” I mean heck, half the “vitamin Bs” aren’t even related to each other at all

Is it possible to block an entire instance?
I found out about Hexbear today, and I don’t want anything to do with any of their communities or anyone who chooses to be a part of it....

I hate to sound like a "Reddit Holdover", but is anyone else confused by the swap of downvote/upvote colors?
Maybe there’s a logical reason behind it, but I always fear I’ve accidentally downvoted someone when I haven’t.
