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

Please read and respect the rules of the community instance in which you are posting/commenting. Please try to keep the dirtbag lib-dunking to hexbear itself. 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. Realize that you are a representative of the hexbear instance when you post on other instances.

I noticed a few of them posting Russian propaganda the other day. Nothing of value was lost.

They absolutely do. They are freaks of nature.

Essentially communists who support the war crimes committed in Ukriane and the idea of Russian imperialism since it somehow in their twisted little minds equates to a Soviet Union born again.

Wrap your head around that.

I still just don't understand why they defend Russia or China, I don't think there's a single state mechanism you can point to that's truly functionally communistic.

They get it into their heads that they're smarter than everyone else because they have views that aren't popular, and shut out any evidence that their views might just be wrong and actively harmful.

That and “look at the full video of the ‘tank man’ he obviously survived and nothing happened that day!”

He did

The point was that the message was the larger “it’s all just Western propaganda” and apparently nothing else happened.
