even the banners and display they use its obviously very “pro-communist”
Comment on we need more users
OpenStars@piefed.social 3 weeks agoThe random one can send you to places like hexbear.net (I’ve tried the randomizer, and I’m not joking it actually truly did pick that very instance for me). Have you ever visited that place? It’s like being sent to a leftist MAGA rally. If I was sent there, I’d nope out and never return to the Threadiverse again.
Another place the randomizer can send you is lemmy.ml. Have you seen all the posts calling for outright murder of people living in the Western world? Well, let’s just say that a mainstream non-technical normie user who is currently living in a Western world is not likely at all to feel terribly welcomed there.

Hexbear is nothing like a leftist MAGA rally. It’s more like a MAGA rally.

i call it the mirror version of conservatives, they talk like right wingers, respond like them, post nonsense like them.

Just as there are facts and then there are uh… ah… “alternative facts”, so too there is an Alt-Right, and they represent basically an Alt-Left.

Or something, I have no fucking clue what is really going on over there. It does seem more like whatever they are, their beliefs are not genuine - as in they even troll themselves so hard that some of them forgot that they were doing it!?!

I’ve seen the same arguments against liberals here used against Bernie Sanders on Instagram. “Why aren’t you doing more about Palestine?”, “Why’d you let this happen?”, “why are you too powerless to influence policies?”. I know some bots follow a script. The only difference here is the framing.

And it worked. So many did not vote for Harris… (tbf the electoral system in the USA is fairly bork3n and complexicated, with the vast majority of votes not actually mattering, especially in blue states that would have voted for her regardless) and looking back, who can say if the campaigns had any effect? Though they did seem to try to have an effect, and that alone should mean… at least something to us? (in terms of actions taken, it seems to have not, but should it have?)

I gotta say, Xi’s version is way more effective than Donald’s
