    It’s already a hexbear fest in here. There is zero point posting anything about China or Russia - every comment is trounced on by hexbears.

    Yes yes, if I didn’t want your opinion I should have stayed on Reddit.

    Yes, yes, you got here first.

    Yes, yes, I’m a brainwashed liberal.

    Yes, yes, you’re actually one of the oldest Lemmy communities but you’ve only recently started federating.

    Yes, yes, you’re seeing the light and can see through the western media’s bias and the rest of us are just mindless sheep.

    Yes, yes, China is great, Russia is fantastic, Ukraine should pursue for peace and roll over.

    Yes, yes, you never allowed downvoting so you’re used to just comment and that’s why there’s so many hexbears in here. And you’re definitely not Russian or CCP farmed trolls.

    Yes, yes, all those things are true.

    I’m sure I’m missing a few, but I’m pretty close to a hexbear “Bingo!” I think.

      We used to allow downvoting, we just got rid of it to stop trolls from making multiple accounts to downvote every comment from people they disliked (specifically trans users were getting their comments brigaded like this) and it turned out to be a great choice because it encouraged discussion if you disagreed with someone.

      Also we’re definitely not “Russian or CCP farmed trolls” why would they have paid people to talk amongst themselves for three years? I mean I could really use the supplemental income so I wish, been putting off car repairs for months due to finances.

            I don’t think all of you are farmed trolls. My apologies if that’s how it was heard.

            I think many of you are farmed trolls, some of you are “useful idiots” to the troll farms, some of you have degenerated into a brigade of memes and a few of you are real people who genuinely hold idealistic opinions that couldn’t work in the real world. I doubt many of you belong in the last category.

              Is this copy-pasta or are you always this condescending? What if I told you that’s how we feel about libs like you?

                I’m hardly ever this condescending. I’ve made a special exception to hexbear users who’ve been brigading almost all posts about China and Russia since you federated again.

                You’ve been telling everyone how you feel about libs since you federated, so I’m sure you will continue with or without me.

                I know it’s tough to face the light and meet the wider world, but outside the basement you’ve been keeping yourself for three years, you should expect that people giggle at your idiocy, at best.

                  It’s not brigading when I see a dumb post on my front page and decide to comment on it.

                  Reddit is a Liberal echo chamber that actively censors things that aren’t the US state department line, go back to it if federation is such a problem.

      Libs crying that they can’t just pile on people who disagree with them will never stop being funny. These trolls can’t actually make any coherent arguments to support their positions and simply regurgitate a handful of tropes they memorized. All of a sudden this tactic doesn’t work anymore and y’all having a meltdown.

      And here’s a bingo card for you lot
