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.
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.
Wow, they really deny that stuff? Do you have any good sources I can throw at them next time I see that?
Yeah, I got a source for ya
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiananmen_Square
Nothing really, they just call it western propoganda. Theres no point.
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
It is well documented, they have been shown sources, and they do not care.
I really hope they defed from hexbear soon.
I know, I'm just asking you to share them with me so I can use them too next time.
We have to literally disguise ourselves as libs and practically beg for a source and even when they think they're talking amongst themselves, they still can't or won't provide a source to prove their argument
I had a lot of fun with that bit ngl. You'd think the Hexbear account would be a dead giveaway.
This is the funniest shit yet.
STFU!!! you'll ruin it!
Eh, they kinda stopped responding and it's not like they were going to come back since they had nothing. I'm just glad nobody gave it away sooner, good hustle
Honestly surprised it worked at all what with the pronouns being such a big tell
The only reason I even tried was that someone else did it first and I saw they replied in ernest.
I had no expectation that they'd take it seriously I just thought it'd be funny, but I'm really glad they did and you continued it

Yeah, hexbear is really bad.
I'm pretty sure Chyna is paying them to mess with my vibes.
There is no other way anyone could possibly disagree with my giga-brained takes on the rules based world order.

For the record, I'm a conservative, not a liberal.

Lib moment
That sounds like something a liberal would say
Is being a liberal a bad thing in your eyes?
Yes, as is being "conservative".
Ah, so you believe in feudalism and the feudal rights of lords? Get the fuck out of here you anti-American scum.
No, thats regressivism you're thinking of.
then you're a liberal who is literally too stupid to know your own ideology?

Oh damn, that's crazy.
Anyways, how many refugees have drowned in the mediterranean sea lately? And how many people are currently locked up on the US border?
Cant be that many, after all, the US and europe are the only places on the planet that cares about human rights, freedom, democracy, and all that good shit.
Right?
another great site tagline fr fr
You know who else denies the Uyghur genocide? The US State Department. That's right. Their Office of the Legal Advisor concluded that there wasn't evidence of genocide back in 2021. Are they also CCP shills?
