Other instances: downvote into oblivion. No notifications involved, you can just ignore it and move on.
Hexbear: no downvotes possible. You get tons of comments that are basically generic memes and could as well be downvotes without any loss of information.
You’ve clearly never posted on Hexbear because we often have lengthy discussions specifically because you can’t just downvote and move on.
You’ll probably get to experience that now in fact as all the Hexbears who see this go “uh that’s wrong” and tell you rather than downvote you. It’s a great community building tool.
You think I would write the comment I did without having made the experience? I’m banned from that community and I’m not even sad to be excluded from such a toxic realm
Toxic is what I encountered. It wasn’t just different opinions. It was what people called me and how and what they commented. I’m glad that didn’t happen to you yet but don’t pretend you know what happened to me.
They called me a liberal for pointing to “Homage to Catalonia”, which they called liberal propaganda even though I explained that in the book Orwell called out the Stalinists for siding with the liberals, indirectly against the anarchosyndicalists and thereby helping the fascists to power.
Sure, you can have different readings of historical events, but you can also spam people with 1984 memes and hate on an author without knowing shit about him. Reminds me of the Hakim video about Orwell where he claims that he never spoke about Franco even though Homage to Catalonia exists and that’s the book about his politicization and he cites it as most influential and most important. Except that Hakim didn’t react to someone who literally explained all that. Tbf some of the explaining was in later removed comments so some of the commenters didn’t see them.
Orwell was a well known anti communist, so yeah, pretty lib take to defend him. Seems called for to me. I bet you didn’t get banned for having one lib take though
You definitely did not get banned for the reason you stated. You’re in fact doing the thing you got banned for right now by trying to define nonbinary people as not being a gender. I don’t know if you are a troll or just nitpicky to the point of invalidating other people’s experiences but in no way is hexbear transphobic.
Hexbear avoids this issue by simply disabling downvotes. Disagree with someone? Explain yourself.

Toxic is when you post your opinion in a discussion forum, apparently.

What did folks call you? Why did they?
