I don't wish them ill will, I just think the whole idea of their instance and community is just... is it satire maybe?
is it a big joke I don't get? I dunno but they're way worse than lemmy grad. at least lemmy grad has an ethos.
It's astro-turfed to hell. If you can bend your political opponents views to serve your purpose you have effectively turned a -1 to a +1. They also do your dirty work by sowing infighting and reaping dissatisfaction.
Do you have any evidence of this?
Do you have evidence that I'm not in on it? I've penetrated the deepest levels of the russian strike force and can tell you word for word what the leaders of this insurgency is doing at any moment.
So no, you don't have evidence it's astro-turfed, gotcha. Why lie, then?
How am I lying? You don't have any evidence saying I'm not an insider.
If you can't provide evidence, or even reasoning that a fringe community of far-leftists is even worth astro-turfing, then your claim can be dismissed without evidence.
So your claim that I'm not an insider can be dismissed, got it.
If you could provide evidence, then yes.
Evidence is my testimony. Here want some pictures of the communications?
Edit:
Almost funny, but at the end of the day you're fighting ghosts and strawmen. Me generally being a leftist and asking questions directed towards people making baseless claims doesn't mean Hexbear is astro-turfed, that's not just a logical leap, that's a logical circus act.

wow thank you. that explained several things.
What makes you believe it's satire? They have a firm pro-Socialist, anti-liberal, anti-sectarian stance, meaning there are Marxists and Anarchists alike, not just Marxist-Leninists like Lemmygrad.
I don't believe it's satire really, but in case it was just so good or subtle and was, I figured I'd ask. (because I just can't seem to wrap my head around that group think mentality (doesn't matter spectrum- conservative, communist, etc.))
It's a space for anti-sectarian Marxists and Anarchists, it isn't really "group think," moreso Marxists and Anarchists want a space to talk to each other instead of endlessly debating against liberals and fascists.
Hop over some time and see what people are actually saying as an aggregate.
thank you for the explanation! that clears up some things. I guess I didn't realize they wanted to talk just to each other. it doesn't feel like a place where you can question their self imposed status quo (if you do your comments are removed).
Thank you
It's a safe-space for the far-left, if you don't want to interact with liberalism it's nice.
As far as questioning the "status quo," you can, as long as you're genuinely questioning, and not just picking fights or throwing slurs, those will get removed extremely quickly.
