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.
Fuck nazis and fuck you.
So much for the tolerant left
I support human rights and I'm intolerant of Nazis and other authoritarians.
Oh you like human rights? Name three of their albums
They have a lot of good ones, but I'd say
Fake fan detected
I am ashamed
The ukrainian famine was made into a genocide narrative by literal nazis, see hearst press. When the nazis occupied Ukraine, the rhetoric around killing Jewish people involved a lot of "collaborated to do the holodomor"
Fuck your nazi rhetoric.
LMAO three seconds ago I pointed out how you're the type of person who would side with the nazis and one click of a 'load more comments' finds you literally siding with nazis
lmao you humorless pencilneck nerd. Did you realize that was a punchline, or does your algorithm not pick those up

Equating communists with fascists is holocaust denial.
Yeah so are we, you should come post on hexbear with us
Hexbear is absolutely full of authoritarian propaganda from the Kremlin and CCP.
If hexbear was actually what it pretends to be I'd probably love it.
You know how you dipshit liberals love the refrain "equality feels like persecution to people who have been privilidged" or something like that?
A very similar thing is happening with you right now in regards to propaganda.
You mention Russian and CCP propaganda a lot. Why is your skepticism only directed at US state enemies? Do you deny that western media has uncritically disseminated US state propaganda about US state enemies in the past, or do you still believe that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq?
If you could make a good faith effort to lurk around occasionally I think you'll have a different opinion. Please take a moment and look at how and what information we share with each other and you'll see we're not what we've been made out to be. No propaganda, no authoritarianism. You'll see careful deconstructions of propaganda and maybe obtain an understanding of the correct usage of authoritarianism. Most importantly you'll see we're regular leftist shitposters, we just read theory
Fuck are you gonna do then
"Fuck both sides"
Says the person who would 100% side with the nazis
