Alright. I been afraid to ask for fear of getting banned from other communities hosted on their instance, but what is the deal with hexbear? The chat community seems like satire, but it gives off the same kind of vibes as the_donald, just far-left instead of far right.
Like, I consider myself a lefty, but their community just seems self-destructive and toxic. Maybe that’s the point, though? Honestly unsure, and afraid to ask on their instance cuz I don’t wanna get accused of “just asking questions” and banned.
It really does feel like the_donald doesn’t it? I have no idea what they’re about. They claim to far left but when you look at what they’re actually saying it’s all hate for any position on the left. Even the word “left” is a dirty word there. They’re probably trolls trying to muddy the water. Maybe it’s some astroturfing or a space to experiment and generate new misinformation content. Idk, it sucks though, it feels all so toxic.
You’re pretty much spot on, they are the_Donald of leftists. They think they’re communists, but they’re actually just a bunch of internet trolls who like to feel superior to others by creating some imaginary moral high ground which is somehow dependent on supporting Russia and China.
It’s a bit frustrating because some of them are kinda funny, but they’re way too far down the rabbit hole and it’s a codependent community; they reinforce each other’s delusions. Definitely don’t mention it to them, you will absolutely get banned if you show any signs of questioning their narrative.
Btw most big servers like lemmy.world, sh.itjust.works, etc are defederated from them. Lemmy.myserv.one isn’t though.

It’s a bunch lonely people who got hypnotized by a podcast and now that podcast informs all their opinions.
