If someone is only willing to communicate with you through WhatsApp, they don’t value your friendship.

They followed me around and down voted everything I posted for a while (memes, conversational comments, everything). Oh and they also threatened to kill me. Fuck hexbear and all its users.

Block Lemmy.ml, hexbear, and dbzer0, then make your own list of keywords to block (Trump, Elon, murder, angry, etc etc)

Are they an adherant if they’re paid? What about if it’s an LLM?

The people going around loudly policing other people’s language do more harm to leftist causes than good.

I came into this thread just to downvote their lies.

Hexbear isn’t driven by real people, it’s a politically-motivated, organized effort to spread disinformation.

I don’t have an anecdote, but I do have a good joke.

Late at night, a German coast guard radio operator gets a distress call. A British ship has capsized and is quickly taking on water.

“We’re sinking, we’re sinking!!” The panicked sailor yells over the radio.

Confused, the German operator takes a minute then responds “What are you… sinking about?”

Maybe I’ll switch to Mastadon. I find myself going back to Reddit as often as using Lemmy these days, so maybe it’s time.

I suspect everyone switching won’t solve the problem. Seems unavoidable that open-access, anonymous social media will be a target for propaganda any time it becomes popular. If everyone leaves for Mastadon, the shills and their LLMs will move over there.

The communism is a facade for their propaganda, and it also bolsters extremist discourse. Win-win for them.

Thanks for your efforts fighting disinformation. Seriously.

No doubt many have tried the fediverse and walked away because of Lemmy.ml/hexbear.

I don’t even admit that I use it as is because of the propaganda. I’m still hopeful for the future but my enthusiasm is dying.

Well said, I completely agree.

Yeah I just skip comments if I see they’re from Lemmy.ml.

I hate that instance.

Lemmy.ml communism is mostly just a facade for spreading propaganda to useful idiots. If they were real communists I’d have some respect for them.

Lemmy.ml spreads a lot of propaganda/disinformation, has opaque and questionable moderation, and regularly advocates for violence.

More irresponsible than Nissan Altima or Dodge Ram owners isn’t easy

Thanks, obviously people enjoyed it.

dumbass paid Russian apologists propagandists

Did you get your education… inside Putin’s butthole
