Some comrades over at Hexbear have organized a donation drive for Palestine and, over the past few weeks, have managed to raise over $1500 for verified Palestinian fundraisers. The fediverse is a good place full of good people.

well, at least there will be a positive effect from them for once
AFAIK it’s the third such fundraiser from over there
that’s genuinely nice
I’ve never heard of Hexbear. Care to explain?
Many instances defederated from them because a large chunk of the user base was abusive and brigading. To an extent even the worst right wing instances federated couldn’t match.
Not disputing your claim, as it doesn’t surprise me at all, but I’m curious: What are “the worst right wing instances” ?
I haven’t paid enough attention to notice any instances with a consistent and noticeable right-wing lean.

I don’t like tankies much either but I’ve seen way worse from the fascists.
Not really sure if it’s useful to ask if diarrea or regular shit is worse.
I don’t want to step in either
They are authoritarian left and even though Russia is not a leftist country they will refuse to say a single thing bad about Russia, China, and some will even say nothing is wrong with north Korea. If you search the instance for ‘Ukraine’ you will see them saying Russia is the good guy in the Ukrainian war. They will say things like authoritarianism doesn’t actually exist. I legitimately wonder how many posts are state sponsored lol. There are a lot of them on lemmy.ml as well
Just a week ago I had a conversation with someone that is thinking that Russia is a still a communist country and was arguing if I was sure about the opposite
It’s a leftist instance that’s very active and will argue with people that post anticommunist popaganda.
it’s just a leftist lemmy instance
