They've been shielded from even critical support of China and other AES for so long they literally, not figuratively, literally cannot process that people exist that have beliefs that aren't Reddit Approved. They immediately assume it's bots or wumao. Human beings can't possibly hold these beliefs, so they must be Oriental hordes or actual robots.

Not that late, the comments have doubled in the past 90 minutes and the active sort algo can have this go for another day or so.

Glad the bears are out of hibernation. It’s really been fun seeing random hexers posting in places like, startrek.website even beyond the political posting.

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 52 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It makes me happy to see people from other domains who aren't calling the users of hexbear fascists, bots, etc.

You probably already know this but Lemmy was only slightly more liberal than the grad or hexbear until a couple months ago. Western chauvinists would routinely get piled-on in news threads. I imagine those long-time users are thankful for hexbear entering the fray to re-balance things.

Let’s be honest here there is no balance. We rolling and smoking these nerds

Certainly, but I've barely even seen a "mander.xyz"

[–] silent_water@hexbear.net 23 points 2 years ago

[–] ImOnADiet@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

Makes perfect sense, just thinking aloud

[–] Strawberry@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 2 years ago (2 children)

As a newer user I am also thankful for hexbear entering the fray to re-balance things. And it's just nice having comrades around

[–] combat_brandonism@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago (2 children)

o shit I thought y'all pre-emptively de-fedded us, cool to see that's not the case

~~I'm not sure what happened, they did defederate both lemmygrad and hexbear a couple months back, they refederated without saying anything sometime between now and then I've thought about dm'ing Ada to asky why but I don't really wanna rock the boat lol~~

Update, was a mistake, they defederated from lemmygrad again lol

[–] Sickos@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago

Yeah same I was pretty thrilled to find out we had blahaj folks around

[–] ImOnADiet@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 2 years ago

Update, was a mistake, they defederated from lemmygrad again lol

Maybe worth pointing out to your admins that anti-communism is always a wedge used by fash to turn a place rightwing.

Um sweety, the only "bears" I'm seeing are xinnie the pooh's henchmen 😬
