Is it bots? Are those humans whos mission is to cause chaos? Is the weird behaviour caused by the creation of the concept of lemmy?
Somebody please explain to me wtf is going on.
They answer destructive comments, assuming shit, demanding shit. Are they trolls?
Are they being paid for causing chaos? It’s insane
They were founded after being kicked off reddit, then self isolated from the fediverse for years, creating the echoiest of echo chambers. It’s like those Appalachian families that were so isolated they basically developed their own culture, language and all. They’ve spent too long “struggle sessioning” together and driven out any of the more reasonable users with their purity tests. They think they’re the “true” Lemmy users and only refederated to “spread the word” and antagonize all the “liberals” (read: anyone that’s not 100% with them). The one thing I dislike about my server is that they haven’t defederated from that place.
One note, “liberal” to them is synonymous with “nazi,” and they do actually, openly, want to kill you for being one (from this comment alone lol, and me too, and everyone else they label liberal). They’re losers who will never succeed in revolution, and most of them won’t do anything beyond cry online, but they should still be considered dangerous and untrustworthy as one of them is liable to pull some dumb shit in the name of their religion and their god Marx (yes it is a religion if they treat it like one.)

Very apt description. You forgot the inbreeding part; very much relevant for Hexbear.
All responsible server admins have them defederated. Hate speech and genocide denial, that is almost certainly against the law in Canada, Germany, and other places. We defederated lemmygrad for the same reason.
My instance is hosted in Germany and does not seem to defederate from hexbear, I’m subscribed to [email protected] from this account.
I’m sorry to hear that, you should fix that.
I don’t want it to. I think instance admins should be defederating from spambot farms, but not much more than that; if there’s a chance some of its users want to read it, they should allow its users to.
That is, I want my instance admins to engage in moderation, but not censorship. I think defederating from extremist politics (whether far-left or far-right) is usually censorship, not moderation.
Hexbear isn’t driven by real people, it’s a politically-motivated, organized effort to spread disinformation.
Inb4 tankie I think hexbear is pretty cool
Are you new to the internet?
