Sorry (🍁) we did this without making a post, but after receiving several complaints we defederated from hexbear.net yesterday.

Here’s a few quick examples of poor conduct by hexbear users:

They warned their users to behave themselves, but that didn’t work: https://hexbear.net/post/280770?scrollToComments=false

Do not follow the Chapo Rules of Posting, instead try to engage utilizing informed rhetoric with sources to dismantle western propaganda. Posting the western atrocity propaganda and pig poop balls is hilarious but will pretty quickly get you banned and if enough of us do it defederated.

      From what I’ve seen, they may claim to be far left, but act more like far right.

      And I get that if you go far enough one way you come out on the other end.

        I think that’s just a misleading artifact of trying to describe everything with one dimension.

        The far left and far right are often more similar than the names imply. This makes sense when you realise they are both fishing in the same pond of disgruntled people at the fringes of society (though of course not exclusively). For many, it is more about being angry at the world than it is about standing for either ideology.
