They’re kids that like confrontation. They don’t actually have any agenda other than “this hexbear user said to follow this!” And they jump on it. The next day could be a completely different stance on the subject.
Comment on Lemmy is the best social media
HAL_9_TRILLION@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 week agoHexbear is… I’m just old I guess, I don’t understand. My instance is not defederated from them. Whenever I’m reading a post that originates from hexbear, I can always tell. Like it will just hit me and I will look at the source and yep, it’s hexbear. But I don’t exactly understand why. I can’t see that they have any particular worldview, they just have a very contrarian way of expressing… all worldviews, seemingly.
Doesn’t seem like bots, Russian or otherwise. Too vague. Not enough of a pointed agenda. Is it just trolls? Seems like such a waste of time.

Their community came over here long before all us old Redditors and it seems like they’ve cultivated their one culture and in-jokes and such. It can get confusing to pierce all the irony and sarcasm to figure out what they’re saying sometimes lol.

They’ve chosen a very confrontational path with the way their instance interacts with others, and as a result they get a lot of push back, which just makes them angrier. I suspect anyone trying to be reasonable on the instance gets accused of not being a true believer as well, so only the angriest remain.
Also, Boost for Lemmy allows you to block an entire instance, it’s pretty handy.

This article makes me think this is a tankie wiki, because literally everyone from that awful place is a tankie as far as I can tell.

It is a tankie wiki, but what a better way to expose their tankie nature than the tankies themself.
