That tracks. A forum where most people speak English but have political views in alignment with a lot of the global south is nigh unheard of. Lately I've been thinking that we might start getting attention for it from the wider internet just because of how unique this place is

An economist article about online extremism

They even claim the US is not always a force for good

The only kinda semi-based place on the English speaking internet where I can say Z

Yandex sorting by active

[-] invalidusernamelol@hexbear.net 69 points 6 months ago

Weird, that seems to be one of the only ones that shows up. Even searching hexbear returns results for prolewiki and the gitlab first

[-] Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net 62 points 6 months ago

You would think it would be the first result for beanis.

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 51 points 6 months ago

Deeply unserious webforum obsessed with "beanis" a corruption of the words bean plus penis.

[-] DirtyPair@hexbear.net 54 points 6 months ago

huh wow maybe we really are putin bots...

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 53 points 6 months ago

I once searched up some russian names mentioned here when the terrorist attack happened at the stadium. There were only 3 results on google: Twitter, some Russian bot news outlet, and Hexbear lol

Welcome aboard comrade Yandex.

[-] Hohsia@hexbear.net 51 points 6 months ago

Holy shit. This is like levels of recognition that caused the subreddit to be monitored

I fear for this place’s lifethe-pigs

[-] AssortedBiscuits@hexbear.net 47 points 6 months ago

I compared the results from DDG and Yandex with the same search. DDG is all Western MSM while Yandex has some social media sites including a thread on NeoGAF lol

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 49 points 6 months ago

It’s always amusing to see westerners promote DDG as some privacy/uncensored alternative. Dog if a company has enough money to run ads all over the web and the superbowl, its not protecting your information.

[-] EmmaGoldman@hexbear.net 26 points 6 months ago

At this point DDG is basically just an alternative frontend for Bing.

we're not beating the "Paid by Russians" allegations smdh daddy Xi would never abandon me like this kitty-cri

[-] ReadFanon@hexbear.net 15 points 6 months ago

Ye. That was me.

Noticed it a while ago but wasn't sure whether or not I should have mentioned it because it only serves to add to the spectre of Hexbear but it was too funny not to mention it and my ADHD impulsiveness got the better of me so here we are lol.

I often get hits for Hexbear on the first or second page of results. It was quite jarring the first time it happened to me when I was trawling for pirated materials and I was like "Huh, that's Hexbear...
Wait, wtf is Hexbear doing on Yandex!?"
