HexBear and brigading yet another Ukraine thread with misinformation and Kremlin propaganda, name a more iconic duo.

EDIT: It appears that I've triggered the horde.

It's funny seeing the replies to your comment crying about "not brigading" but then the vast majority of the comments in this post come from hexbear users commenting tankie shit

[–] Ginjutsu@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 year ago

It's almost as if they completely lack self-awareness.

Easy way to trigger them:

Ahem...

"Human Rights"

Interesting, I'm not seeing the hexbears... has my instance blocked them or has hexbear blocked me?

It's kinda a nothing of value lost kinda situation, just curious about why I'm not seeing them any more.

Yea, they're defederated from your instance. You can check it out in the instances list of each instance under "blocked", here's yours: https://lemmy.ca/instances

Ah cool, thanks!

So that means they see my posts but I don't see theirs?

[–] Gsus4@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

~~Yep~~I think they don't see yours either, but you can still go check out the cacophony in their hexden if morbidly curious: https://hexbear.net/post/475665?scrollToComments=false

lol

On second thought, let’s not go to Hexbear, ‘tis a silly place

Well I might be moving instances...

The moron brigadie is getting old.

Apparently the thread's got 117 comments, but only yours is showing. Don't they have anything better to do? Seriously...

[–] Ginjutsu@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Apparently no 🤷

Thank you for your sacrifice, now we can just mass block them :)
