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.
I know how it works, go back to your fork.
Go back to yours, brigader
Turns out YOU should learn how federation works, maybe you can do that after you learn how to stop shoving your propaganda down other people's throats.
you're currently "brigading" a thread in your non-native instance about how rude it is that liberals aren't allowed to spread their right-wing propaganda uncontested
every accusation a confession
Your account isnt from the midwest.social instance either...
No kidding, instances and forks are completely different things.
You really dont understand the history of lemmy at all. We were originally part of it like, at its inception, and communists helped build it. We forked so we could add shit like pronoun tags. We have as much of a right to be part of the fediverse as you do. Sorry that rustles your jimmies.
tl;dr We're as much of an instance as you are, get over it.
