tbh i have noticed them a lot less in the last couple weeks. maybe they're giving up

Yeah the hexbear brigades seem to have mysteriously disappeared (or at least decreased) after Facebook shut down the big Chinese troll farm recently

What does Facebook have to do with Hexbear?

Yeah it's usually it's the other way around, troll farm gets knocked of bigger sites they increase activity on smaller sites.

Though it is possible they may have been disrupted by another actor using capabilities beyond what Facebook has once it was identified. Or maybe they were active on both Facebook and Lemmy, but after Facebook shut them down, it wasn't worth keeping it going just for smaller communities like Lemmy.

Or maybe it's just a coincidence. Who knows?
