      hexb3r: posts never ending brigades of anti-solidarity, direct russian psyop propaganda, fake socialist exclusivity, rage bait, concern trolling, and zero moderation of obvious bad actors.

        While I generally agree with your sentiment about hb, I don’t block them in my feed because of mod duties. And lucky for y’all, I filter out all the pig-poop-balls content on your behalf, and only crosspost the good memes :p

          the constant pig poop balls is a dead giveaway that they’re disingenuous….
          no way they actually think that means something to anyone… unless they’re russian

        Infosec claiming other communities are brigading is top tier meme material.

      Does cross posting imply that the post already existed somewhere else first? I’ve submitted links independently which then showed up as a crosspost from somewhere else.

      I wonder if you’re on an instance that doesn’t federate if it would still show up as a crosspost.

        If you use the same URL for a link, I believe it records the parent as the first place it was listed assuming you’re Federated.

        Idk how images work.

        dbzero is a bridge between World and Hexbear, so we occasionally see people like an image while a smaller group of anti-hexbear zealots start screaming in the comments that the site is hosted in Russia or some such nonsense.
