Since the federation the comment sections got so inflammatory. Literally everything gets turned into some political "capitalism bad" or "the west bad" discussion. It made Lemmy very annoying for me to use....

Isn't that how psyops work? Sound generally reasonable and introduce the occasional piece of misinformation, maybe about a war of aggression?

Propaganda, yes. I suspect that in this case many hexbears have been egging each other on for so long in relative isolation that they've developed their own back-patting (aka circle-jerk) culture with in-jokes and accepted-facts that don't make sense to others... those participating in it are probably still quite immature. I just call them on it here and on my alts.

I think that is still worth being exposed to different opinions and having your own accepted-facts challenged, so long as it's appropriately moderated / doesn't get out of hand. It sounds like the hexbear admins are fairly active.

It's not my call in the end, though.
