Comment on Hexbear federation megathread
MolotovHalfEmpty@hexbear.net 1 year ago“Tianenmen Square was a wholesale fabrication by the west”
No one on Hexbear claims that and if they did they’d be thoroughly ridiculed for it. I was active in that thread, the spread of opinion was pretty wide, but no one advocates anything close to what you posted above.
I mean, arguing about whether I really read what I claim to have read is going to be about as productive as shouting at clouds. I’m pretty sure I read it, and I honestly thought it was satire at first, but the comments changed my mind. Idk, maybe I ate the onion on that one.
The point is that I feel that that’s an (admittedly extreme) sample of the kind of content I’ve been getting through Hexbear.
I’m not trying to argue with you (and here wouldn’t be the place to get into it) but that characterisation is false and I stated such for the benefit of other readers, try and change your mind.
This post may be what they were referring to. There is at least one highly upvoted comment saying no one died, and several saying it was a western fabrication.

Just flipped through all the top-level comments and most of the thread and did not see one. Could you link to it?
I know what you’re talking about and you’ve misread the context to mean nothing happened at all and no one died, but I’m trying to help keep this thread on topic for the benefits of the mods and lemm.ee users. So if you want a clarification go there and ask, debate it, or feel free to start a new post with a good faith request for what we think.

Wasnt there literally a huge thread on hexbear about Tiennamen just the other day? It was incredibly nuanced and far from whatever this dude is summarizing it as.

Yes and yes.
