Ah yes, the classic wealthy journalist. Everyone knows that reporting is where the big bucks truly lie. I guess it’s impossible for literally anyone living anywhere but the like 3 countries that pretend to be communist to report on anything accurately.
What's the deal with Hexbear? - midwest.social
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 [https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list] 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.
It’s definitely all of the above.
Hexbear is particularly vexing to me. According to the fediverse observer they’re less than a month old and yet have already become one of the most active instances.
outside of running your own instance, asking your instance’s owner to block them, or joining one that already has the offender on the blocklist, no. It’s requested a lot though so it’s probably on the todo list
nope.avi’s long lost brother, AAAAAA.jpeg
of course the one person in europe who owns a pickup would park it on the sidewalk
the only restaurant chili with cinnamon is skyline, which is specifically why i dont like it
finish reading the comment, theyre not the same
i mean it’s spiced differently and usually has beans but the main ingredient is still tomatoes. not that different from having a meat sauce
you’ve got to consider that to a lot of these people racism “isn’t real” because their bar for what qualifies as racist is set incredibly high. “how could that be racist if it’s true?”
you can see a similar anti-trans sentiment in the people who defend jk rowling. “she’s just saying gender can’t mismatch assigned sex, how could the truth be transphobic?” nothing could ever be transphobic or racist or whatever to these people when they think very concept of being bigoted isn’t legitimate
