Hexbears on the other hand are trolls, pure and simple, with zero regard for anything other than “the dunk” process of pwning someone - or rather, appearing to, from their own extremely childish POV.

There's so much 
in that comment section.
If they would stop having dunk worthy takes we'd stop dunking. Simple as
Pretty sure multiple said the same when complaining about join lemmy showing hexbear.net. Like are they trying to get people go sign up or think it's bad?
frfr
They only think that because they deserve to get dunked on. We didn't have any federation for years and years, and so couldn't really do any dunking. Currently we have very minimal federation, and so can't do all that much dunking. So really, dunking is a very small amount of our culture, and most of our criticism of people is against things not on lemmmy, about people that will likely never see that criticism, which isn't really dunking, and definitely isn't trolling.
They are viewing it through the myopic lens of their own self-actualization. They get dunked on, they get trolled, so they think Hexbear is all about trolling and dunking. They don't actually engage with us, so they don't see that we have a massive chunk of people focused almost exclusively on news. We are probably 1/3 news posting and analysis site, with no trolling at all. For the rest of our posting, the vast majority of it is still internal, and we generally don't troll each other. So badposting, the trans mega, the daily mega, it all counters their narrative. We also have a book club (two sorta, lol), and a big movie club.
We dunk in Slop, and troll in other instances (generally counter-trolling, often we don't troll first). Slop is tiny compared to News and the rest of our site. Hexbear could stop dunking and trolling completely, and the vast majority of Hexbears would barely notice the difference.
If anyone actually wants to understand Hexbear, they should lurk Hexbear for a good long while. They would see we aren't trolls, we barely care about the rest of Lemmy, we care about communism.
I do have to admit that's fun to watch clueless libs wandering in here having shyte takes and then getting dunked on, though.
But ofc they fire the first shot.

Not kidding, they’re everywhere. Those posts taunting Americans for not resisting? Russians. Those posts encouraging violence? Russians. Those posts urging you to give up, it’s already over? Russians. Those posts saying America will never do anything to punish MAGA? Russians.
We saw it all over Reddit, before the 2024 election. I got real good at spotting them ( new account, nothing but negative posts, no care about downvoted, illogical arguments, just to argue and waste time, etc) and used to call them out by addressing their supervisors, knowing they were monitoring responses, saying I already pegged this new account as an obvious Russian Propaganda Farmer, and he’s doing such a terrible job that he should be sent to the beet canning factory instead. It was often that person’s last post, under that handle, at least.
My failed marriage? Russians. Missing sock in the dryer? Russians. Seahawks beating the 49ers? Russians. My overdrawn bank account? That's right, RUSSIANS
even when the CIA admitted it, I knew it was the russians!
Obviously the Russians were the reasons for all the 49ers injuries through out the year including losing kittle in the previous game. Couldn't possibly be anything else.
Some say they have an Achilles cutting gun now
tommy needy drinky
mom help the Russians shit my pants again
My cat went to use the litterbox but just pissed outside of it. The Russians came in here in the middle of the night, burglarised my cat’s bladder, and changed the trajectory of its pee to my floor. Russians, why?????

Grandpa, what did you do to fight the second wave of fascism?
I was deep in the trenches of Reddit in '24, then reassign to the federated trenches of Lemmy in '26. Your typical poster would hit a thread and see a wash of usernames. Me? I didn't even see usernames. I'd go thread to thread day and night and all I'd see were Putin's orcs and Xi's brainwashed zombies. I got real good at spottin'm too. Your pops was a real sharp shooter. The amount of Z heads I sent packing back to the beet canning factory could have filled a stadium.
Might as well call these worms the Wehrmacht with how they're so constantly scared shitless of Russians
But then they'd treat that as a compliment, so...
used to call them out by addressing their supervisors, knowing they were monitoring responses
speaking to the imaginary manager of their online opps
Americans? Russians.
And the mod who gave him gold after every supervisor comment? Why his three girlfriends and, yes, they smoke weed.
Russia takes up more space in their .ind than it does on the earth
If they said Chinese, the racism driving this post would be more obvious to readers.
It's literally illegal for Americans to go to the DPRK due to American law . . .
in bad country they won't let you leave bad country 
I mean, they wouldnt be able to do much if you didnt return cause the DPRK has nukes. But id also guess they're fairly hesitant about letting Americans immigrate there. I would be. It is okay to have discrimatory border policies against nations that hafe really tried hard to kill you. Plus I would have to bet the average American would be a burden on the state and it's people, not an asset.
Invalidating you passport isn't nothing unless you plan to just stay there for the rest of your life, which I think the DPRK probably isn't that interested in.
I do wonder if an American would be useful to them for propaganda purposes, since that has historically been the case and we of course see the inverse
It wouldn't work ans it would cost a lit to keep an American as a pet. They would need a source of Funko Pops and Wendy's burgers

Nobody dunks like hexbear. I've been dunked on crazy lol but nobody cares like hexbear does either. I see the most mutual aid and knowledge sharing done here.
Fuck that animation is so fucking satisfying.
It's the camera shake, it makes it feel like it's mounted on the backboard
We dunk because we care
Wow these people are absolute daffodils. Literally upset cause people here have said Death To America, one said it was an Osama Bin Laden quote...I mean he probably did say it...so have a lot of people. More and more people are saying it folks. America has a lot of enemies. Pearl clutching that we cheer on The Downfall of Western Civilization like that even means anything.
Death to America
-Micheal Scott
-Wayne Gretzky
-Osama Bin Laden
-every hexbear and lemmygrad user
"I only say Death to Amerixa when singing along to rap songs" - Libs
Yeah, Death to America originated during the 1979 Iranian Revolution, in which communists participated. Even though some communists got purged, and the others fucked up by working for Iraq (communism in Iran has recovered from neither), critical support to Iran is important. They oppose American imperialism, and Israeli genocide, something very, very few countries can say. Sanctions on Iran also largely just hurt the normal people of Iran, and American/Israeli aggression against Iran is brutal. Lots of normal working people oppose those actions against Iran, including parts of the Republican Party.
Iran has never attacked American soil, and doesn't support any terrorist organizations that have. They and the Axis of Resistance have actively fought terrorist groups that have attacked America, fighting al-Queda, fighting ISIS, fighting al-Nusra, and fighting HTS. They even opposed a US-backed authoritarian that used chemical weapons on civilians, one Hussein, Saddam (lol), before the US ever opposed him.
By comparison to Iran's opposition to those awful anti-American terrorist groups, Israel actively worked together with al-Qeuda. Israel provided them air cover, maps, air support, logistics support, a training camp, and even treated their wounds, and let them out to continue fighting. Remember, al-Nusra was literally a part of al-Queda until 2016. Iran has done more to protect the American people than Israel. And this is 2015, so al-Queda literally just did the Charlie Hebdo shootings in France, the the people in AQAP, that claimed responsibility, were literally in al-Nusra leadership, it was just a slight rebrand with all the same guys.
If America stopped interfering in the Middle East completely, they'd be dead to Iran. Their combat with America has been focused on getting them out of the Middle East, getting them to stop supporting Genocide and Ethnic Cleansing, and staying sovereign. They have only fought American soldiers that are most definitely in places they shouldn't be, doing a colonialism/neo-colonialism. American soldiers in Israel, in Lebanon, in Syria, in Iraq, and to a lesser extent in the Gulf states, are really all valid targets, they should not be there.
Death to America. Death to Israel.
Lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml [...] are the leftist MAGAs
Lemmygrad: "Death to America"
LemmyWorld: "Wow, they must really love America"
These people never went beyond taking claims of Hexbear literally, and if they actually visited Hexbear it was either unintentional and showcased their tendencies or was inherently bad will to begin with
This split doesn't really affect them either, and whenever Hexbear and lemmygrad users are found in more general Lemmy servers they're generally the most eloquent and well cited when arguing
It really shouldn't be this difficult to understand, like the two mega threads provide enough context as to why and how, but it would contradict their entire world view so I understand
"Infighting" ahahahahaha
We're not on the same side as neoliberals motherfucker.
Yeah, personally, I like
Not war
Not genocide
Not secret police
Yes collective bargaining for healthcare
Yes collective bargaining in the workplace
No housing speculation
Yes walkable city
Yes public transportation
Yes high speed rail
Yes renewable energy
No politicians checking medical procedures
And that in and of itself is enough to put me in stark opposition to Democrats. And all of that is before my beliefs about how the system is held together, violently enforced, addicted to looting other countries. I think it's cringe and I'm willing to read the words that people wrote trying to articulate it.
They are the most batshit insane comments across the entirety of the Threadiverse, after Hexbear obviously.
mwahah the liberal fear is delicious. take a look outside and tell us if things look sane out there.
the stethoscope theory picture has killed me. i am dead now.
Every time I see that OpenStars person they're posting the absolute dumbest shit imaginable.
If it wasn't such terrible stuff it would be impressive how they're able to sustain that volume
yes. the openly call for murder, theft, and various form of violence against their ‘enemies’.
won't somebody please think of the poor "housing providers" and "job creators"? stealing my fifth investment property is literally the same as murder!
also half the comments are just this lol https://lemmygrad.ml/comment/7708971
labor exploitation is smart and awesome but "wage theft" is evil and brutish
I guess they took an arrow to the knee or some such. 🤪
Skyrim came out in 2011 get a new joke already

centrism aside it was wild to a see Flying Spaghetti Monster mention in 2026 of all years. Like a marine biologist observing the Coelacanth for the first time only its mating cry is "the narwhal bacons at midnight."
