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.
Like I said you would not understand.
I told you all that so you all quit accusing us of post/stat manipulation.
Was there a big migration push recently? I don't think it's manip anymore, there's clear organic traffic here that's linking me pig shit.
We recently federated with the broader lemmyverse Idk what its called, I've just been posting here for 3 years using the same link on my bookmark, and when I clicked it today here I am replying to you
when does the war on lemmygrad begin
Why would we go to war against lemmygrad?
lemmygrad are our comrades
we personally prefer to keep a pan-leftist policy but an enemy of the bourgeoise is a comrade of ours
Why would you make a post about hexbear when you clearly don't know the first thing about us? We are one of the oldest and most active lemmys and our whole bit is left unity...
>User tried to use Start Shit!
>It wasn't very effective...
why would we war with an instance we broadly like? we have an anti-sectarian rule when it comes to other leftists.
I've gotta respect the riffs, at least
Did you just call me a manip?
That's just a pokemon
lmao I'm sorry about the pig shit, you seem like a cool person from your other replies.
