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 [https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list] 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.

Legit question for liberal lemmitors- How do I defederate the 30-50 feral hogs that run into my thread within 3-5 minutes while I post?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

You asked about us. We came out in force to answer you. Why is that surprising or evidence of anything? We don't have a downvote feature, so we're used to responding when we disagree. And of course we're going to defend ourselves.

Its so funny how you guys became so used to being able to live in an echo chamber of western capitalist propaganda on reddit, then moved here, then had that bubble popped by us and lemmygrad, then became INCREDIBLY DESPERATE to get away from opinions you previously were sheltered from. Its just a funny reaction to witness. Meanwhile, liberalism is something I can never really escape. Because its everywhere. I dont actually have the option to completely unplug.

Anyway, if your instance defeded lemmygrad I have no doubt you'll get your way with us sooner rather than later.

If those libs could read theory, they'd be so embarrassed right now.

This comment is a great example of the "insight" that you find on that instance. Random insults that don't make much sense unless you uncritically agree with the most boot licking China / Russia defenders.

It's not insulting, it's just boring. It's like bots repeating old Chapo comments from different articles, none of which make sense.

lol this is the copypasta comm. But thanks for being exhibit A!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

This is a post in the copypasta comm on Hexbear. I literally cannot think of a more appropriate place to make silly, self-referential jokes. Are you doing a bit? It would be a pretty good bit.

Welcome to the site tagline

Find me a lib that doesn't dive onto the shortest shitpost to claim as representative while screeching 'BOT' at everyone they refuse to engage with in good faith and I'll show you someone who stopped being a lib.

A straight up tankie instance, filled with hate and wishes of genocide, that I wish I could block.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Hey look it's the fascist who created an account six days ago just to praise Sweedish fascists holding mob rallies where they burned Korans.

And now you're here exclaiming your hatred of communists and doing old hat "double genocide" holocaust denial. How rote.

Face the wall now please.

Can you tell me more about this instance? I haven't seen it yet but you have me really worried and I think I might have to consider asking my instance's admins to defederate from it

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Basically, every thing wrong with the ccp, every evil, is just western propaganda. They deny the Ughur genocide, tiananmen square, they deny everything and call it western propaganda.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wow, they really deny that stuff? Do you have any good sources I can throw at them next time I see that?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nothing really, they just call it western propoganda. Theres no point.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Maybe some would listen if we showed them strong enough evidence, I mean all that stuff is pretty well documented, right? Aren't there like, pictures or something? At the very least, if we force them to deny strong, reputable sources, it'd make the pitch to defederate stronger.

all time great bit, probably top 10 since /r/cth
