  Where are people seeing this hexbear and lemmygrad content? I use the Thunder client with a lemmy.world account. I don’t have those instances blocked but never see anything from them. Is it because I created my account on lemmy.world?

    Both banned by your instance: lemmy.world/instances

    Correct. Lemmy.world’s admin “pre-emptively defederated Hexbear as a last resort”.

      Lol. “Pre-emptive last resort” is one of the best oxymorons I’ve heard in a while

    lemmy.world preemptively defederated from hexbear before hexbear had even turned on the ability to federate. In the Lemmy.world defederation post they also said that defederation has a “last resort” lmao.

    I think the LW admins think their users are stupid.

    When you surf the site, do you surf by your subscribed?

    They get hate because they challenge the viewpoints of liberals who have never peeped outside their western media echo chambers. They would literally just be considered normal leftists outside the west, but thats like garlic to a vampire for lemmredditors.

    If you ask people on .world or .ee, it’s because they have positive views on China and Russia, who are responsible for all ills in the world.

    I’d recommend keeping it that way

  I think HB and some of the other groups are mostly trolls or Russian, Chinese, Iranian, North Korean, or aligned operatives trying to gas up trolls or wannabe trolls.

  There are definitely some well meaning Americans and others who get suckered into the bullshit tornado that is those sites. They are definitely worth saving if we can. But it’s hard. They ban and block anyone with a dissenting voice no matter how calmly presented.

    I see it as the neonazi movement in the US in late 90s and early 2000s. They want to be edgy, but don’t have a significant structure to actually do anything important. Around 2006 I ended up stealing a knife from a neonazi that came in to the restaurant that I worked at. It was a Mexican restaurant btw lol
