I'm absolutely blown away by this entire chain.

https://hexbear.net/comment/3728686

This is how it all starts:

I'd say YOU guys (Hexbears and Lemmygradians) are bots. In fact, I'm probably talking to one right now.

The pronoun tags give it away. They're completely random. My inbox as follows:

"none/use name" - "she/her" - "ze/hir" - "they/them" - "any" - "comrade/them" - "comrade/them" - "he/him"

Jfc did Russian propagandists just put the pronouns for these bots...on shuffle? I'm not saying all of you guys are bots but it seems like the majority. Lol I wonder if there's a script I can use to shut you down.

Is this a bit? Account is like 8 hours old, and has solely argued with hexbear users lol

      Funny enough, this poster was actually not anti pronoun tags. I asked. They were just convinced that because it wasn't 90% he/him it was bots.

        people other than cis men being able to exist openly on the internet? wtf?? could it be that we just have a very feminist and pro-lgbt culture? no, clearly hexbear is not real very-intelligent

      Yeah, it is something I really cannot understand. Like it is such a simple and straightforwardly obvious courtesy, like wearing a mask even if you aren't that concerned about your own health. I just cannot wrap my head around refusing, except as signaling your side in the culture war, by antagonizing people around you.

        yep, absolutely true, no gays or bis were ever problematic to the rest of the community ever 🙄

          I still remember being in high school and how racist, transphobic, and sexist white gay dudes were. Like they were desperate to get the approval of cishets. "Don't think of me as gay, think of me as male and white!"

    I have changed my entire position vis a vis federating over the last few days. This shit is fucking hilarious and reminds me of the old r/cth days

    are those pronoun tags? why do you have something other than he/she there? are you some kind of kremlin troll farm bot account?

    Some people have never heard of solipsism and think they came up with the idea, but without having really thought it through, all by themselves.

    Between this and the "any memes involving politics were made by RUSSIA" guy, that thread was wild.

    You know, if I wanted to make a bot that would drive people nuts without having to have sophisticated output, a bot that accuses people of being bots would be pretty effective.

    They called me a tankie when I pulled the ol' switcheroo and told them to prove their humanity.

      You’re in a desert walking along in the sand when all of the sudden you look down, and you see a tortoise, it’s crawling toward you. You reach down, you flip the tortoise over on its back. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can’t, not without your help. But you’re not helping. Why is that?

      Might fuck around and start administering the Voight-Kampff test to people who start yelling about bots.

        Voight-Kampff test quickly becomes a Mein Kampf test when interacting with liberals.

        Obviously the tortoise is a ruZZian bot

        It fails to recognize me, the only philosophical subject in the universe, and is therefore condemned to this fate

        See, this is why there's such a push towards veganism on hexbear. If you're against animal cruelty, then you're definitely not gonna flip the turtle and now suddenly there's no way of clocking a replicant.

    Well, that's... I mean we're posting a lot. They may well be a bit but that wouldn't necessarily be a good tell.

    The diversity of pronouns here makes me feel so much safer and willing to post than anywhere else on the internet heart-sickle
