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.
Your instance, along with exploding heads and lemmygrad, are ruining the fediverse. I’ve stopped recommending it to anyone because of people like you.
Here you are brigading
Midwest.Social, and you constantly push authoritarian propaganda throughout the fediverse.
Lemmy was created by communists, with lemmygrad and hexbear being among the first to exist. Lemmygrad second instance after lemmy ml actually. Do you see us cry and stop recommending it because there are libs on our sites?
Actually yes I do, even though other people aren’t going around shoving propaganda down your throats… well aside from exploding heads and a couple smaller instances
You can take the redditor out of
but you can’t take the 
out of the redditor
Fuck nazis and fuck you.
So much for the tolerant left
I support human rights and I’m intolerant of Nazis and other authoritarians.
Yeah so are we, you should come post on hexbear with us
Hexbear is absolutely full of authoritarian propaganda from the Kremlin and CCP.
If hexbear was actually what it pretends to be I’d probably love it.
Oh you like human rights? Name three of their albums
They have a lot of good ones, but I’d say
Fake fan detected
I am ashamed
We are not brigading. We’re just extremely online and this post came into our feed like it did yours. Are we not allowed to comment on posts in our feed?
“Brigading”
Learn how federation works, or better yet, go back to reddit.
I know how it works, go back to your fork.
Your account isnt from the midwest.social instance either…
No kidding, instances and forks are completely different things.
Go back to yours, brigader
Turns out YOU should learn how federation works, maybe you can do that after you learn how to stop shoving your propaganda down other people’s throats.
you’re currently “brigading” a thread in your non-native instance about how rude it is that liberals aren’t allowed to spread their right-wing propaganda uncontested
every accusation a confession
Bullshit
This post appeared on my feed. That’s the only reason I’m here. Get used to not being popular. This isn’t Reddit. No one is going to protect you from not encountering leftists.
Of course it did…
Coping that your instance isn’t as active as ours lol
I don’t care how active my instance is, I’ll probably move to another one soon anyway. I just hate authoritarian propaganda.
bro the United States has the largest prison population in the world and regularly overthrows countries they don’t like, the US is by far the most authoritarian country in the world by any sensible definition
I thought Hexbear users didn’t assume gender.
Do you even look up what these words mean? The US has some considerable authoritarian issues, but it’s way more democratic than many other countries.
Also why are we suddenly talking about the US, are you just reading from the script or what?
BOTH SIDES
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.
