Aaaaaaaand looks like the hexbears have already found this thread and brigaded it

I saw an unkempt owl making beans with the hexbear in the lemmy closet and one of the beans looked at me.

While I hate tankies I love more. We should defeat them in the marketplace of ideas

Yes something something Ukraine. Russia bad. Something something save democracy. Russia bad. China bad. Ukraine wholesome. I don’t know anything about Iran or Persians but yes Iran bad.

Defederate!

I think we should keep hexbear around but only if they restructure their arguments into burger analogies so that it's less alienating to the American audience

Did you show them the Freedrom graphs made by the American Burger Eagle Institute? Or maybe try the wikipedia page for those countries if that doesn't work!

They brought millions of Uighurs back to life without any memories of being genocided just to make me look gullible

Getting in before they inevitably brigade this thread 🙄

Get this - one of them asked me to provide sources for my claims. As if that wasn't bad enough, when I googled and posted the first four links I saw without reading them, they actually clicked on the links and went through each of them point-by-point and explained how none of them provide credible support my position.

At that point it was clear that it wasn't possible to have any sort of reasonable conversation with them, so I just did the usual and called them a bot, then made a thread where I made up a story about them defending Pol Pot and said they were worse than fascists.

Yes PLEASE I went on hexbear and they were so MEAN to me please dont check my mod history

I once saw a Hexbear slap a baby and they LAUGHED when the baby started crying!

hexbears broke into my house and ate all my butternut squash i'm very upset

i feel like we actually debated doing this as a bit, and i think the admins were advised by dessalines that it was a very bad idea and was unrecoverable lmao

Why do you even bother arguing with them? You know they're all just putin bots and wumaos right?

Hexbear is full of liberal tankies that want to destroy the US constitution (I'm trying to make a site tagline here)

Yea, there are a bunch of libs there

I once said we should happily support genocide so long as it grows our economy .1% and I was called a Nazi apologist!!! tankies smdh

You want to defederate because they're liberals

I also want to defederate because they're liberals

They just mock me when I ask them if they've ever heard of Venezuela or tinyman square! They keep repeating russian talking points and they say a bunch of slurs all the time, or so I'm told.
Better to just defederate them so they'll leave us alone and they can wallow in their echo chamber.

They posted a pig shitting on its balls at me before calling me every anti-white slur in the book. Defederation would be too kind, we should brigade their comms with burners until they fuck off

I think the content on hexbear is interesting and it's bad to alienate new users of what they might find there. I reread the whole instance and the issues are being conflated in the comments here, I just don't see what is being described here. Sure the bickering gets harsh deep in the comments, but that's just the internet. People explain themselves sufficently well. That's it.

Yes 100% they get a 10000000 on the Voldemort index and they banned me for no reason. What do you mean it's in the mod logs that I was racist and sexist???

Sorry, saw 88 comments and had to intervene. You're welcome

I love hexbear. I'm glad you federated with the rest otherwise I wouldn't have found you. Some takes I disagree with but I think that's okay.
