The main issue is that they aggressively defend countries like Russia, China, and North Korea. The simplified reason for this is that they are communist countries that, they claim, are oppressed by sanctions and misrepresented by the west.
They also really like whataboutisms.
It's sad because most former redditors might actually agree with a lot of their leftist beliefs, but hexbear users seem to be very stuck on supporting and making excuses for fascist regimes.
I now brace myself for a flood of downvotes and replies. I beg of you, please keep the whataboutamerica replies to a minimum. I already know and agree that america does bad things too.
But don't you know America is bad, therefore it's OK to round up Uyghurs in concentration camps?
Just kidding, you're 100% right.
The real thing wrong with Hexbear is that their favorite sports are brigading, trolling, and namecalling. As you'd expect from that list they are also pro-authoritarian.
it's not brigading when a post appears on their feed and they click on it, especially when the post is about them
They are hardcore defenders of fascist countries like Russia and China. They also deny the ongoing genocide of Uyghers.
Sometimes they say the darnedest things
And whatever the fuck this is
I've also found if you push back, even in the most circlejerky of threads, they get kinda mad and call you names
I don't have an opinion on defederation.
we are aggressively uncivil to bigots of all stripes and hold generally far-left political opinions
we also have one of the more active instances on lemmy so we can end up drowning out regular instances' traffic when stuff shows up in our feeds
four downvotes for objectively true information 💀
I don't think you understand what the word objective means...
nothing she said was incorrect
Subjectivity abound.
can you elaborate?
The one you defend's choice of who is a bigot is opinion, and far from objective.
Fuck outta here.
