I had to look up what a dubvee is, apparently it’s an instance with 8 posts a month.
Yes but don’t you see? It’s because of the dastardly tankie-anarchists, if not for them the people on bluesky would flock to their instance! It’s really your fault that they’re not super rich right now. Shame on you.
10% of us on Hexbear have been anarcho-tankies since the site launched in 2020. We’re everywhere.
Extra Lore:
Dubvee admin is the guy that wrote a crying goodbye post 10 months ago saying the fediverse is a failure because people like the luigi guy, then some months ago he came back like nothing happen

Also dbzero and Hexbear have been federated since the start (when hexbear activated federation) they are literally lying just to make up someone to get mad at, also its extremely funny how all the conspiracy theories are about how unruffled is a hexbear sleeper agent like we didnt ban them for months over a fight in slop
I find it endlessly fascinating about the fractally-wrong levels of misinformation being spread about the /0 relationship with hexbear over the years. People just straight up inventing stories out of whole-cloth and eager libs swallowing it whole like they did the laughable neo-nazi entryist fable.
It maps pretty well to standard bourgeois fearmongering about any and all leftist organization historically, so it’s not unexpected IMO. Taking the correct stance on a given issue that runs counter to bourgeois narratives is what kickstarts reactionary mythmaking.
Wait a lib lied? And cried foul?! What? Stop the presses
I mean honestly it probably sucks to not have a framework to understand the world around them.

wdym??? Marvel movies and Harry Potter are right there!
Yeah one very special person can make a difference. And if enough of these handful of powerful special people come together they can save the world from untold evil!
They also say the instance is again toxic users and posts while admin continues to be one of the largest sources of that
The admin of what? Never heard of them.
minor instance that pretty much just him, he used to develop a UI called tesseract but then
This project has been discontinued and the repo archived. I am done with Lemmy, the Fediverse as a whole, and have no desire to continue developing for the platform or (especially) the demographic thereof.
only times he has been mention was me making fun of him in a megathread comment and this other post that mentioned his goodbye post https://hexbear.net/post/5653674
Oh, so a complete no-body. Slop must be running dry if we’re barrel scraping for this lol
Hey batman can’t fight the joker or two face every week, sometimes you gotta fight one of the losers from your rogues gallery like condiment king or calendar man
Are those real villain names? Those are just awesome
Okay so they are both real DC villains.
Honestly expected condiment king to be a McDonald’s one like the hamburgerler
Is db0 cool now?
a deeper axis - solidarity among leftists i believe
lmao tagline potential
Oh no, the Axis of Left Unity!
Stop using Zionist talking points or just denounce genocide like a normal person with any amount of a conscious. It’s that simple.
Kind of leaving a pretty important question unsaid, “Were you doing ‘traitor’ shit?”
If you’re already here and want to be here, you aren’t going back to the walled gardens. Thats quite the crazy Main Character syndrome there. World could fall over and die and Lemmy wouldn’t. /0 is serious, serious about Zionists and Nazis dying.
who?
2 accounts that love to stir shit up then run away when called out on it.
pretty sure openstars has me /.ml blocked so i love shittalking them in direct replies for everyone else to read
Very funny given .world is the one that thinks they can throw their weight around.
And somehow that’s our fault.
I hope .ml joins the pledge too.
Honestly dot world is fucking insufferable. I guess they have a refined taste for the boot.
Finest leather Child and animal exploitation can provide at a reasonably priced gouged rate
Gouge me harder daddy!
Jokes on you that’s my kink lmao (/s)
It’s gotta be exhausting trying to win arguments with people when you have less points than the Washington Generals.
I honestly hadn’t considered that perspective, I get so caught up in how annoying they are to me, I forget that at least I have corroborating evidence and a cohesive worldview to argue from. They have sublimated white supremacy, like 5 misremembered historical anedotes, and memes, and they have to try and string together a case out of that.
I don’t have any degrees, no educational bonafides, but I do read and I do introspect. It’s wild that having a basic understanding of history, of productive forces, of how materials move throughout the world and how labour develops it, just how much in how you can articulate your arguments. There’s a reason there’s a whole “mucho texto lefty meme” is a thing, because context matters.
Incredibly unserious people.
“DubVee”??? Exactly how many obnoxious lib instances with inscrutable names are there?
At least on Reddit a sub’s name signified its purpose and orientation, but here on lemmy we have to play True Detective season 1 just to figure out what specific brand of liberal cultist is yelling at us now
Clicking on a link to their instance, their logo appears to be this:
Which I happen to recognize as the logo for West Virginia University:
“dub vee” being a shorter version of “WVU” or maybe just West Virginia in general.that is low-key hilarious, because WVU had its curriculum absolutely gutted a few years back by the neoliberal order. total premeditated murder of a public institution. administration had been diverting millions into a rainy day slush fund which eventually caused a budget shortfall of $45 million. the slushfund had more than $45 million in it by this point, so it was all just hollywood accounting to claim a shortfall.
the board of assholes used it as a “crisis” and convened / eliminated 143 faculty positions and 28 degree programs. other degree programs had their positions reduced by a third, making their maintenance uncertain and untenable.
despite major protests and a no confidence vote of almost 800-100 by the University Assembly, the university president and his cronies rammed it through less than 1 month after announcing the cuts.
this was back in 2023. the exodus has not stopped as the faculty who weren’t eliminated started taking flight. total faculty count was down nearly 40% from 2014-2024. as well as many administrators, including some who pushed the cuts. any prospective student with the option would not enroll there.
this was broke-ass west viginia’s only public R1 higher education/research institution and pretty much the only option for graduate school in WV, and the star chamber got together to slit its throat proving that the shared governance model of public universities is total theater.
personally, i think it was a trial balloon for running the same operation at every state university in the US where the board of governors/trustees is politically appointed. which is most.
“When you understand the whole story,” said one faculty member, “who would stay unless they couldn’t leave?”
https://www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty/tenure/2024/09/09/year-after-cuts-wv-still-bleeding-faculty-administratorsand this of course happened under Biden. most people outside of higher ed and West Virginia didn’t even notice. i used to collab with WVU staff on outreach programming in the region, and the leftist/union groups all sounded the alarm at the time. but seeing how easily it happened was one of the reasons i started seriously looking to exit the academy. the capitalists are going to gut that entire system, and the sniveling, overpaid administrators will gleefully preside over the nihilistic destruction of these institutions.
anyway, that’s what i think when i see the WV logo. shit is a tombstone.
That is really a shame to hear. I used to travel to Morgantown to visit friends that went to/worked at the university, about a decade ago. We’d often hang out or grab food at the campus, or sometimes take the little rapid transit tram to get around town. It seemed like a nice school, and certainly seemed like the cornerstone of the community/area. Nothing good can exist anymore that is public serving without it being utterly destroyed by capitalists using any excuse to rip the copper out of the walls, least of all education. I fear you are probably right that this will be the fate of a lot, if not most state universities in the country. The long term effects this will have are bleak to say the least, but that kinda goes for everything at this point.
Who the fuck comes up with this shit? What a fucking loser lmao.
‘‘Dubvees’’ are an amateur VA fan community that formed around ‘‘Crocodile Dundee’’ dubs.
Sounds aggressively Gen X
This has been a wild meltdown to follow. Gotta love an escalation from a community ban all the way up to doctored neonazi allegations. Sad to realize how many users fall under this incredibly mature governance.
