Isn't that how psyops work? Sound generally reasonable and introduce the occasional piece of misinformation, maybe about a war of aggression?
Propaganda, yes. I suspect that in this case many hexbears have been egging each other on for so long in relative isolation that they've developed their own back-patting (aka circle-jerk) culture with in-jokes and accepted-facts that don't make sense to others... those participating in it are probably still quite immature. I just call them on it here and on my alts.
I think that is still worth being exposed to different opinions and having your own accepted-facts challenged, so long as it's appropriately moderated / doesn't get out of hand. It sounds like the hexbear admins are fairly active.
It's not my call in the end, though.
