I don’t like to see so many political posts in all and so many weird images in comment sections

This exactly. I swear the entire point is to discredit and divide. The FBI couldn't do a better job if they tried. What I've been finding really interesting is the stress they put on being "anti-racist, anti-homophobic, anti-transphobic, anti-fascist, etc". If you were really those things you would most definitely not need to shoehorn that into EVERY SINGLE COMMENT. "hey it's a nice day outside, I'm anti-racist anti homophobic anti trans anti fascist btw" Mind you on reddit when chapotraphouse was popular there were a lot of them talking about how they HATE identity politics and basically dismissing anything to do with race. So the pronouns in the names, the constant non sequitors about how they're actually "more anti-racist and anti-homophobic" than you, etc. It feels like it might just be really deep irony and they're just memeing it.

    I mistakenly assumed that they would be more similar to chapotraphouse, but now I see that the 3 year exile has stripped away many of the reasonable people. I still hope some of these users will snap out of it and realize they are acting obnoxiously and unproductively, but the chances of that happening seem slim at this point.

    CTH was aggressively leftist but it was actually funny and self aware. Hexbear seems to have forgotten how to interact with ordinary people.

    I mean, I like aggressively leftist and most of lemmy that I've experienced feels that way. This hexbear shit feels like anti-leftist agitation though. It fucking stinks of feds. If not at the beginning, they're certainly there now

    and basically dismissing anything to do with race.

    Show me

    Anyway, the rest of your post is basically a deranged imagining trying to cope with leftists whose attitudes are different than you are accustomed to.

    This is the exact type of thing I'm talking about. If you're not a fed you're doing terrific for them for free

    Because I don't believe things without evidence and don't like wacky conspiracy theories?
