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 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.
Trying to generalize based on a single example is poor reasoning.
But willful ignorance leads to good reasoning, right?
Just use ublock like the rest of us
No, you’re willfully ignorant. Great argument.
I don’t use YouTube because it’s full of misinformation and I don’t like watching videos.
How do you determine what’s misinformation and what not?
If you’re the reading type go with inventing reality by parenti or manufacturing consent by Chomsky
Your Wikipedia “source” was challenged and you found how the CIA is involved on your own… Do the same next time you read anything about china or other aes
