I see all over Lemmy, people really seem to hate hexbear, and I don’t get it. Can someone explain why most of Lemmy seems to absolutely hate them?

    We’re leftists and our site culture is pretty aggressive. Liberals are predisposed not to like us because of the first one, and we’re especially prone to arguing with them in the comments of their instances because of the second. This means we’re more well known and more disliked than we would be if we stayed in our corner.

      50/50 leftists and Russian troll farms or worse, by any charitable outside evaluation.

      I gotta be honest, as I’m reading all the responses by hexbearians(?) in this thread, it just sounds like y’all have a lot of fun lol

      Certainly, a portion of r/cth’s appeal was that it was openly left and didn’t follow liberal rules of politeness, respect, or decorum

      I know that would make you feel better, but no, there are plenty of aggressive leftists on this site, and we don’t get singled out, that’s because people don’t hate hexbear because you’re aggressive leftists, but because you’re toxic pro authoritarian tankies (not that there’s any other kind), so not actually leftist at all (hint: if your “communism” has, and you worship and admire a dictator, it’s not communism, same goes for if it has billionaires and prison camps, like your favourite flavoured boot China, or even N. Korea)…
