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.
What can I say, I've seen a disproportional amount of racism and liberalism coming from your instance. I hate generalizations too, but neutrality isn't actually a good thing anyway. Because centrism IS a political stance and IS a racist one. Taking a stand for whats right is good.
I haven't even seen any enlightened centrists on my instance, I don't even see any politics on my instance! listen dude, i actually support china because i play genshin impact
Best post I've seen in ages lmao, unironically actually funny I almost burst a gut laughing, good post <3
New site tagline
Liberals are centrists though. And you have an entire comm about worldnews that's inherently political...
I didn't even know my instance has a world news, and it's like barely active. Implying that represents my instance community is just bad faith. And no, libs are just like smug right wingers that don't know they're right wing, where centrists are just dumbasses who think they're smarter then everyone while repeating reactionary bullshit
It's bad faith to point out the explicitly political comm in my instance as evidence that my instance does have politics
To be fair though, I get the feeling this person is just naive and decently well intentioned. I get your frustration and lack of patience though. But
Is a pretty good thing to say lol.

You claim to know nothing about the instance you're actually on while passing judgement about hexbear, an instance you're not even on.
I get the feeling you're a decently well intentioned person, but there have definitely been liberal and racist comments coming from your comm. I don't think its wrong to point that out, but sorry you got boxed in if thats not you.
hahahaha this will literally live in my head rent free for a week
