It’s already a hexbear fest in here. There is zero point posting anything about China or Russia - every comment is trounced on by hexbears.
Yes yes, if I didn’t want your opinion I should have stayed on Reddit.
Yes, yes, you got here first.
Yes, yes, I’m a brainwashed liberal.
Yes, yes, you’re actually one of the oldest Lemmy communities but you’ve only recently started federating.
Yes, yes, you’re seeing the light and can see through the western media’s bias and the rest of us are just mindless sheep.
Yes, yes, China is great, Russia is fantastic, Ukraine should pursue for peace and roll over.
Yes, yes, you never allowed downvoting so you’re used to just comment and that’s why there’s so many hexbears in here. And you’re definitely not Russian or CCP farmed trolls.
Yes, yes, all those things are true.
I’m sure I’m missing a few, but I’m pretty close to a hexbear “Bingo!” I think.
Really funny to imagine a bunch of people being paid to spread propaganda but instead they all just hang out together an obscure shitposting forum for three years until one day the boss walks in, pissed af, like, "What the hell is 'Hexbear?'" and we're all like
"Uhh uhh well see we were supposed to be federated ages ago but I guess the IT ticket got lost somehow, we didn't switch over to Twitter or Reddit or Facebook because nobody explicitly told us we were supposed to" and just all the BS excuses for why we've been wasting time instead of doing our jobs
Look, it was already like this when I got here, okay? And no one told me about the owl! Seriously, do you even know about the owl? It's pissing and farding everywhere! This is not the professional PsyOp environment I was promised, and you will be hearing from my lawyer. Sheesh. Good day, Sir/Mam!
"Look, my job is to post, and if you check my account, I've been meeting every single quota. If people haven't been seeing them, I mean, it's not my job to look at engagement stats and stuff and decide what we're supposed to do."
"And you didn't think it was weird that nobody else was on the site?"
"I mean, sometimes somebody would wander in. Tbh I kinda thought the point was to establish a post history we could point to in case people accused us of being propagandists."
"The reason your accounts don't look like propagandist accounts is that you haven't been doing your FUCKING JOBS!"
Alright fine, but we seriously need to talk about the owl.
I signed up here because I'm a true patriot, and I show up to the office only to find this stanky avian flapping around like nobodies business? I thought this was America!
I did not get knee-deep in student loans for this.
Still waiting on product to federate us, otherwise no blockers on operation prop farm
