I’ve seen around 3 occasions of that this week, altho I have never seen anything like it before.
if I remember correctly they were:
- smack talking a mod (FlyingSquid) for saying not to report the same comment twice, when they were different comments, and the report was spam
- someone comparing .world with .ml in politics (as in there was a comment saying "this post will be overrun with .ml people, and then a comment going “but you are from .world”) (Maybe Im part of the problem? I have been called out for being a fascist because I questioned the “puching nazis” theme)
- one more which I can’t remember.
Anyways, what is all that about? Are people really starting to hate on 50% of the lemmy population because of their instance?
I got into an argument with some hexbear users on their instance. Curiously despite all my comments going against the hexbear consensus the only ones that got deleted were the ones that called out another user for using a pay to see documentary. I ironically said something along the lines of “nothing says socialism like paying for propaganda” and then had that comment quickly deleted. My crackpot unproven theory is that the moderators of that instance are deliberately trying to sell information (propaganda) to impressionable leftists to make a quick buck.
Interesting, do you have a link to that thread?

On revisiting the instance was .ml not hexbear oops there’s the first hole in my theory XD
CW: Korean war, Vietnam war
Here’s the comment that my reply got deleted to https://hexbear.net/comment/5439961
**I’m not 100% sure this is the right one since all my replies got deleted, I remember clicking a link and being taken to a purchase page but I might’ve googled it and found it that way.
Thanks!
