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.
Yeah, for example I really like the cars community. I was raised in a family who liked em a lot, and I always did too so I felt a little weird being a car guy in a community who doesn't like cars much (and fair, car dependency is hell) but the one there is cool about cars and also likes alternative transportation too. Cool stuff
Nice! I hope you'll feel at home.
Anyone who actually likes cars should want cars to be less of a primary mode or transportation. Less traffic makes for a much more enjoyable driving experience.
And a safer one!
Hooh, then come on over, and let's talk about rally, hillclimbing, dragracing, touring cars, and all that good shit!
