      Maybe I’m not being charitable, but I think they’re saying the recent hexbear thing is HB, .ml, and lemmygrad trolling, and they’re all russian bots.

        They’re not all Russian bots.

        The internet is full of these obscure micro-cultures. The themes are different, but everything else is the same, comprised of the same type of person/mind.

        Insecurities are easy pickings, just make them feel belonging and they’ll be washed in no time. But make sure you empower them to identify that it’s not them who are weak, it’s “everyone else.” That way when they’re challenged, they lash out and are rewarded with more sense of belonging; get to a self-sustaining level.

          None of us are Russian bots, the admins of any instance would notice. Hell HB wasn’t even federated for 4 years. Do you think Russia was running a bot farm that wasn’t connected to anyone outside of the farm?

          But liberals find it easier to accuse anyone to their left of being a bot than question their own views.

            Did you just float the idea of Russian bots and then accuse “liberals” of floating the idea of Russian bots? You’re the only person anywhere in here mentioning bots

                This meme doesn’t state or imply anything about bots. You jumped in with “the liberals are blaming bots” from absolutely nowhere my dude

                  Did I? The two comments above the one your first comment responded to mentioned Russian bots and neither was written by me

                    Touché, but my point still stands in reference to the chap I was conversing with. And what you said still doesn’t make any sense
