...by dunking on their user bases

They don't really bother to hide the fact that their primary reason for existing is trollng and brigading, do they?

Edit: Here is proof that "dunking" is their term for organised brigading, where a hexbear member is posting a comment in another instance on hexbear "if you wanna dunk".

    I mean, did anyone doubt that? There was a post about the Ukranian war not long ago where almost every single comment belonged to hexbear users, but nah, they weren't brigading at all, it's just a coincidence that they were the only ones who had anything to say.

    Is there a way to just block hexbear? Tankie nonsense almost kept me from trying Lemmy at all, and for the longest time, it’s been good. But recently it’s just tankies everywhere and I’m so over them.

    Only way is to join instances that have tankie instances blocked.

    Hexbears users are all either trolls, pro russian and china fascism or both. They don't add any kind of value to the fediverse.

    Arrogant and self-important. Not sure why they think people want a bunch of assholes around.

    Lemmy is already like, 80% anti-capitalist.

    I would say they're preaching to the choir here, but this is far more obnoxious than preaching.

    That's very obviously trolling and shitposting, not sure why anyone would read that thinking it's an actual serious post

    that's a lot for a troll to type out.

    If only those MLs understood that by forcing themselves on the public square most people will reject them, and with them the concept of socialism as a whole...

    So weird how they're brigading ever other post mentioning them but remaining suspiciously quiet on this one.

    I refuse to believe that people actually think like that. Hexbear is either filled with trolls, or it's a damn psyop.

    Nah, not a psyop. Just sad people.

    The sad truth is that unlike reddit, Lemmy is seen as "too small" and "not worth astroturfing".

    It is plainly not fitting the Russian model of spreading propaganda and recruitment, so we aren't going to get wumaos and similar paid shills here.

    These are unfortunately 100% real delusional sad people
