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 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.
Says the brain genius that has been non stop NPC posting how everyone is a bot or 'BrAiNwaSheD'
Couldn't help but notice you raising pronouns as a
'gotcha' and not actually providing your pronouns.
Hey maybe you'll have a better experience with the community on this website if you stop being such a giant piece of shit
Can I just say how infuriating that "why did you assume my gender" thing is? They tried that on me too and I felt compelled to apologize for saying "guy" but its so CLEARLY being used as a
"gotcha". Its such an obvious trap but you sort of HAVE to fall into it or look like even more of an asshole. Fucking infuriating.
After I got called on it once I'm just doing blanket they![vivian-shrug vivian-shrug](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/dc9e2655-7ff4-4429-b753-982873103b9d.png)
