        You made an irreverent joke, they respond with an irreverent joke, you respond with a flat insult.

        Fucking why??? Is this me not understanding people or is this fucking bizarre?

            I’m genuinely asking, whether it’s normal or bizarre this confuses me.

            People often confuse the shit outta me.

                I mean the way I see it, there was one initial incident of shitstirring, and it’s just been escalating leftist infighting since then. It wasn’t even originally made by db0, or in reference to hexbear specifically (but them sharing it was really the shitstirring incident).

                To be blunt it seems like the magnitude of the hexbear response seems to have more to do with them being federated and given tacit permission to keep commenting about it here than anything else. There is a lot worse going on elsewhere that hexbear users don’t invest this much energy in because it is less convenient to do so.

                None of that really helps me understand this attitude/behavior that seems like whiplash between humor and hatred.

                    I guess site culture is an answer I can accept, if not have understanding of.

                    I can understand wanting to handle conflict with irreverence and humor. I can also understand being angry and hating each other. Behaving in both of those ways consecutively with very little transition is hard for me to understand.
