I think a little clarification is needed. No. I don’t actually think everyone there is insane. I don’t care about the bans so stop trying to use that. HB enthusiasts coming here and trying to call me out achieves nothing besides proving my point
Edit: Feel free to keep trying to brigade me. It’s not going to scare me to take this down
I never asserted that “anyone downvoting must be a hexbear alt”. There you go again, misrepresenting my point just to feel like you’re winning.
I’m quite sure that non-hexbears are downvoting OP also. But that wasn’t what you said, was it? You could have said that originally, but instead you decided to mock OP and act like he’s crazy and there’s no way he is getting downvoted by hexbear users, which is disingenous and lame.
You know what you’re doing, I don’t need to explain your own bad faith tactics to you.
Just quoting you:
Between 2 and n “hexbears” (understood to mean “humans afflicted with hexbear mind virus using other servers”) are behaving in some coordinated way. You were pretty clearly implying that it’s some conspiracy rather than simply other users disagreeing with you.
I’m sure there are people who primarily use hexbear and use alts, some of them may even be downvoting you.
I took your assertion to its ridiculous conclusion because it’s a ridiculous thing to be complaining about in the first place, as in not a real problem.
Not to be a dick, but it seems like you guys are on the same side, so why are you arguing?
I’m honestly not sure what to make of this comment?
If this is what you think agreeing looks like then I pity the people in your life.
Lol what are you on about? People who use hexbear (i.e. hexbears) share similar traits, interests, and behaviors. They use hexbear because they fit in on hexbear, and in order to fit in on hexbear you need to pass an extensive series of ideological purity tests, which result in the homogeneity and cult-like behavior that occurs.
Hexbear is quite explicit about this, they don’t want anyone with any sort of divergent political views on their server. They clearly revel in “dunking on libs” by chain downvoting and harassing people when they say things that the hexbear hive mind disagrees with. And yet always claim innocence when their obvious brigading is called out, as you are currently doing.
It is a real problem for everyone who’s not a hexbear, because it means that we can’t have sane, civil conversations about certain political issues on Lemmy, because CCP apologists and edgelord larping teenage “leftists” constantly butt in and derail the discussion with their potent combination of ignorance and self righteousness.
Sounds like you’re the one with the cult-like devotion, but sure whatever you say officer
They don’t even have down votes turned on, unless you’re saying that their users are going out of their way to make alt accounts specifically to downvote.
This looks like projection as you are the one who seems to think that down votes are some shield against wrong think and they don’t seem to care about them at all.
I personally feel like you guys are on the same side, so please don’t argue
Edit: my bad. I was wrong. The other person got upset because I thought you two were under agreement. They’re gone from my post now 😁
