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.

    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.

      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.

        That scene where the entire bar is suddenly silent and all the big, mean bikers are looking directly at OP.

      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.
