those miserable fucks are mocking this thread https://hexbear.net/post/4671954?sort=Top
keep an eye out for brigaders (I see at almost a dozen sketchy comments here already) and report anyone you even get a whiff of being tankie alt. Even mild tankie apologetics or sympathy shouldn’t be tolerated or else they start thinking this is a safe space for them.

I’ve had the same experience. Hexbear won’t accept any nuance when it comes to Palestine or homeless people.
So what? At least they’re not tankies.
so you admit you’re a tankie alt? Good job, see you on !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works lol
I haven’t felt the need to block any instance besides the NSFW ones on my main account so I can scroll in public without porn popping up, but then again I’m less thin-skinned than most

Is there any way to set one up that protects the anonymity of the people involved (where even the organizers don’t know each other’s real names) for opsec purposes?
you will probably stop seeing much of that if you block users that post a lot to fediverselore and meanwhileongrad. They’re like the /r/subredditdrama of lemmy
confused by exactly how badly the people there were going at each others throats in the comments
I’m reading that thread and I don’t see anyone being aggressive.
someone there also mentioned Nixonland which actually is a good book to understand the circumstances of era
the article you’re talking about reads like a case of “our holy narrative-correcting taskforce vs their pagan misinformation agents”
[bad actors] put in the effort to build reputation…, mixing legitimate page edits with the more politically sensitive ones
through subtle changes like casting doubt on the objectivity of pro-Western accounts
they also mention adding links from Russian state-owned news, but the article doesn’t indicate that those things happen in the same incidents though mentioning it in the same sentence is certainly an attempt to conflate them. It’s one thing to remove insufficiently reliable sources, correcting misrepresented facts, and banning the wreckers that consistently produce it, but I think there is an issue if validly-sourced edits are being censored by “bias adjusters” (NPOV purposes withstanding) just because the content is deemed to have been written by a suspected bad actor.
everybody click your wrongthink ⬇️ button, quick!
you should go ask them
the problem with hexbear is the same handful of users that have made it their hobby to complain incessantly about hexbear all over the fediverse
Some of the arguments/memes I’m seen there are been shared by conservatives, using the same talking points
such as…? People can’t respond if you keep being vague about it.
honestly idk why dbzero isn’t part of the tankie triad. They have just as many insane takes and they’re crawling with either tankie alts or sympathizers who think they deserve to consume other people’s work for free. It’s hell because unlike the triad, no one seems to really defederate from them despite their unapologetically alt-left views.
