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?

    Lemmy instance with “radical” moderation. Sort of like old SA/goon forums, 4chan etc.

      It’s literally the opposite of those unmoderated sites, what the fuck are you talking about?

      The admins there are very strict about quickly removing and banning any transphobes, pro-capitalists, nazis etc.

          And that difference being that they’re not moderated much at all, which results in the aforementioned hate groups taking over.

        Their strict moderation has odd blind spots though. I just had a look at their front page to see what it’s like these days. They have a news article up since 15 hours that claims France has sent troops to Ukraine, which is just straight up fake news. Apparently allowed to stay up as long as it fits the narrative though.

            Yes, they do, although the top comment at this point talks about how it’s “literally a declaration of war” and the second to top claims that WW3 has started. You have to dig 3 comment chains down until anyone even questions the article. In any case, I don’t see how that’s relevant to my point about moderation.
