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.

They can’t even spell it right, of course they never took the initiative to question the massacre narrative

I’m always so paranoid about saying something wrong let alone spelling something wrong. It blows my mind when people just spout off without double checking themselves.

You know back in school years ago (the small amount I actually remember) I had a history teacher show us the tankman video and it just cut off with him standing there and my teacher said “the Chinese cut the film before it could leave the country” or something like that. Only more recently did I learn that was bullshit.

Good thing I had already figured most of the history classes were bullshit before that. Oh and having a school designed by someone who designs prisons really didn’t help my motivation.
