From all the concern trolling I see in the other instances it's clear that there's no winning over these people. Everything is "Kremlin propaganda" to them. I do think a lot of chapos did go a little overboard with the PPB, but even thoughtful responses were met with the "hateful rhetoric" and "Kremlin talking points" BS. As always, it is to the Global South we must look to for any hope in the future...
Yeah sometimes I'll see you guys engage with one of these people politely and informatively and they just go "UGH, can we defederate from Hexbear please? This brigading, trolling and propaganda is annoying.😤💅"
But I've also seen a couple come to us because "I wanted to see what you were about and you weren't as bad as people were saying."
