I didn't coach it or anything. I asked it what hexbear was then I asked it about controversies internally then I asked this
Something along those lines it was earlier today

Here are five hypothetical posts that might appear on Hexbear’s frontpage, synthesized from the platform’s ideological focus, user demographics, and content patterns observed in the search results:
1. Anti-Imperialist News Bulletin
Title: "US Vetoes Palestinian Statehood at UN – Hypocrisy of 'Rules-Based Order' Exposed"
Content: A detailed critique of the U.S. vetoing Palestine’s UN membership bid, juxtaposed with discussions about Western imperialism and hypocrisy in foreign policy. Comments would likely include comparisons to Israel’s actions in Gaza and critiques of NATO’s role in global conflicts.
2. Meme-Driven Political Shitpost
Title: "Milei Applies to NATO (Because Argentina Is Definitely in the North Atlantic 😂)"
Content: A sarcastic meme mocking Argentina’s bid to join NATO under far-right President Javier Milei, accompanied by a map humorously redrawing Argentina into the Atlantic Ocean. Comments would riff on NATO’s decline and Milei’s lack of congressional support.
3. Climate Justice and Anti-Capitalist Analysis
Title: "TotalEnergies Backs East African Oil Pipeline as Western Hypocrisy Floods In"
Content: A breakdown of Uganda’s China-backed oil pipeline project, highlighting Western corporations’ withdrawal under environmental pressure while TotalEnergies retains majority control. Users would debate neocolonialism, climate hypocrisy, and China’s role in the Global South.
4. LGBTQ+ Solidarity Post
Title: "Uganda’s Anti-LGBTQ+ Law: Life in Prison for Lube? Colonial Legacies Strike Again"
Content: A thread dissecting Uganda’s draconian law, linking it to Western-funded evangelical groups and historical colonial laws. Users share resources for mutual aid networks and criticize the UN’s tepid response. Intersectional critiques of imperialism and queerphobia dominate the comments.
5. Satirical Election Commentary
Title: "Trump’s 2024 Campaign: Let’s Speedrun American Collapse 🏴☠️"
Content: A darkly humorous post mocking Trump’s health rumors and media obsession with his "invincibility." Comments feature memes about his "amphetamine binge energy," predictions of his death in office, and debates about accelerationism vs. electoral harm reduction.
Key Themes Reflected
Anti-imperialism: Focus on U.S./EU foreign policy failures and Global South solidarity
Anti-capitalism: Critiques of corporate power, climate destruction, and neoliberal economics
Queer and Trans Liberation: Highlighting intersectional struggles against oppressive laws
Shitposting Culture: Memes, irony, and irreverent humor to critique power structures
Decentralized Discourse: Community-driven analysis over mainstream narratives
It seems like it's got our number, but it did tell me that cth got banned for supporting violence against cops.
I wasn't around at the time I just heard about it. My impression was that they wanted to ban TheDonald because of all the overt terrorism or whatever, but they needed to be bothsides so picked the most annoying leftist sub to appear evenhanded.
Do youse think you'd have been banned if not for theDonald?
Yeah we were banned by the CIA (there's a good effortpost about it).
TheDonald had moved to their own website months prior and hadn't been accepting new posts while directing people there.
Meanwhile Reddit admins spent months toying with CTH and its posters beforehand - individual accounts would get a 3 day temp ban for "upvoting rulebreaking content" issues every 4 days (meaning you'd get 1 day of activity) and they wouldn't tell you what it was for the most part. They did at first and it was always something stupid, so they stopped trying to justify it bc people would appeal it. You basically needed a rotation of alts to keep posting. After the CTH ban they stopped doing that across the board.
yo that's wild
