Hexbear is an astroturfing community
God I wish I was getting paid to shit on libs, easiest job ever.
Do libs think leftists have infinite money to fund this kind of thing, like they do? Or does this user not understand what "astroturf" means?

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

They think we're all being paid off by the Kremlin
the rumor is true, except it's not paid off, it's jacked off, and it's not the kremlin, it's gremlins. we're being jacked off by gremlins.
yeah, the russians want us to cum, so the americans dont. latest front in the new new cold war.
Begun the goon wars have
Oh but we're getting paid in exposure and experience, dontcha kno
Oh sorry, we didn't set you up on the payment plan? Just send me your contact info and I'll forward it to accounting.
Do I need to send you credit card details too? Wow so generous, thanks Soros SeeSeePee FSB! 
its astroturf when there are a lot of people being mean to me
We should've kept the Moscow time thing when we federated to freak out liberals thinking we were paid russian agents smh
I've never seen anything but contempt for Russia's reactionary oppression of LGBTQ+ people here, but I suppose since we don't want to nuke Moscow and start WW3 we must actually be lying and love Putin.
Even in bad faith shitlibs can't help but make themselves sound like the most childish sports fans when it comes to politics.
Also it isn’t really supporting Russia to admit that the invasion of Ukraine is partially our fault, but the liberal mind is as weak as the conservative mind. It just has different holes.
Where do they think this astroturf money is gonna come from? Liberal brainpan is so unthinking. Just perpetual thought terminating cliches.
You know, the leftist conspiracy where all billionaires are secretly leftists. Don't make fun of them, they heard about it on Fox news and on MSNBC so it must be true!

Federation gave us many taglines
Non-LW link, since they log Hexbear IP addresses: https://lemmy.ml/comment/7570861
Log Hexbear IP addresses? Context?
they probably log all IPs and OP just phrased it weird? doesn't make sense otherwise.
No, the LW admins doxxed a lemmy.world user in the admin chat, claiming they had discovered the alt of Hexbear admin CARCOSA. Answered here
Yeah I mean I was around for that. What you quoted is what I'm saying:
They also log and monitor the IPs and the emails used to sign up on their instance
None of that is unique to hexbear. Anyone visiting the URL in the OP will have their IP logged, there's no way to tell if the traffic originates from someone clicking that link here*. And no way for them to link your IP with the fact that you're a hexbear user unless you're naive enough to sign up for a lemmy world account and post correlating info to a hexbear account.
What is unique to hexbear (sort of, I'm sure they hate the grad too) is the vendetta they hold against us, so even though it's probably a PITA to correlate these things you can be confident that they're petty enough to do that.
Fuck lemmy world and good on ya for posting a lemmy.ml link to the federated thread.
* unless your browser's adding headers to note what site you're clicking that link on, which uh stop using chrome I guess 
unless your browser's adding headers to note what site you're clicking that link on, which uh stop using chrome I guess
As far as I know, all major browsers (Firefox, Safari, Chrome) at least send the host you came from in the referrer header (like "https://hexbear.net")
Edit: This is true only if the site you're on doesn't set a different referrer policy! And Lemmy does set a safer referrer policy, see below

Is this humor?I would also like some explanation that sounds wild
Is it referrer header stuff? Death to HTTP
Is it referrer header stuff?
They log it all to a discord server
From our top active admin, @CARCOSA@hexbear.net:
Friendly reminder that the lemmy.world admins doxxed one of their users they thought was me. They also log and monitor the IPs and the emails used to sign up on their instance as well as use a discord bot to log all posts/comments made to lemmy.world. Don't make accounts on their instance!

Wtf
Thanks for the warning
Opened this on my lemmy.ml account and saw people had replied to me claiming I was lying about being trans since I last opened that account
This thread is wild. I'm glad we are defederated and anti-horny.
Imagine looking at hexbear and being like "well the vibes are good but there's no gay porn and the users won't doxx themselves to show their hogs so idk"
I, too, decry the low amount of hogposting.
One user did post a video of their boobs in order to make a point in some strugglesession long ago though
Yeah I remember that, what the fuck was that about
It was an oddly heated thread about Bayonetta
well now it makes sense
They were saying that being horny was an inherent part of their identity, and so posting nudes was leftist or something like that. It was pretty deep in a long forgotten comment chain
It’s called coalition building
There isn't even a general gay community.
Honestly if we're talking about minorities having their own spaces it'd make more sense for Hexbear to have a c/straight.

This is almost as funny as when they claim we raid and downvote them, which we literally cannot do.

I've literally posted the
