They've been shielded from even critical support of China and other AES for so long they literally, not figuratively, literally cannot process that people exist that have beliefs that aren't Reddit Approved. They immediately assume it's bots or wumao. Human beings can't possibly hold these beliefs, so they must be Oriental hordes or actual robots.

Glad the bears are out of hibernation. It’s really been fun seeing random hexers posting in places like, startrek.website even beyond the political posting.

It makes me happy to see people from other domains who aren't calling the users of hexbear fascists, bots, etc.

You probably already know this but Lemmy was only slightly more liberal than the grad or hexbear until a couple months ago. Western chauvinists would routinely get piled-on in news threads. I imagine those long-time users are thankful for hexbear entering the fray to re-balance things.

Let’s be honest here there is no balance. We rolling and smoking these nerds

Certainly, but I've barely even seen a "mander.xyz"

[–] silent_water@hexbear.net 20 points 2 years ago

I've seen 2 so far and they've been normal

As a newer user I am also thankful for hexbear entering the fray to re-balance things. And it's just nice having comrades around

o shit I thought y'all pre-emptively de-fedded us, cool to see that's not the case

[–] combat_brandonism@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago

Maybe worth pointing out to your admins that anti-communism is always a wedge used by fash to turn a place rightwing.

Um sweety, the only "bears" I'm seeing are xinnie the pooh's henchmen 😬

[–] emizeko@hexbear.net 23 points 2 years ago (3 children)

the best part is the OP being completely incredulous to federation and people other than them existing

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 19 points 2 years ago

I replied to it, but I have way too many notifications
