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 excited about trolled libs. The way they tell it, you’d think everything from DW, to Fox, to Propublica, to straight up AP News articles, are all written by the same people.
Not to mention, their info on the Fediverse observer is either straight up wrong or there’s some serious botting going on. According to that, the instance is less than a month old, yet somehow they already have one of the largest, most active userbases, along with far and away the most comments of any instance.
Seems to me like Lemmygrad on steroids. Considering we defederated from them, seems like a no-brainer to block Hexbear as well.
So glad this thread could become such a perfect microcosm of why we need to defederate.
They’re not “both sides” they’re both extremist communities filled with hate and misinformation.
Literally opposite sides of the political spectrum dude. This is the literal definition of both sidesing.
Yeah uh huh wanting to do genocide to minorities is the same thing as posting pig poop balls when liberals support western imperialism.
You aren’t a “side” you’re a small group of angry, useful idiots and bots. If you want to talk about genocide, let’s talk about the current genocide the CCP is carrying out.
The one the UN can find no evidence of ?
Here, educate yourself
Not reading your propaganda, I’m actively trying to get hexbear admins to block me.
