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?

    The issue I have with them is mostly that they emphasize the ‘shit’ part of shit posting almost exclusively. It’s all layered fourchan esque edge lording ‘sarcasm’ but it’s not really even sarcasm it’s being a shitty in lieu of actually being funny. Kids too wrapped up in language like ‘theory’ and ‘praxis’ instead of actual understanding and lived experience. If lemmy.ml is the Vampire the Masquerade of socialism, hex bear are the fucking dufuses with foam swords who are pretending they are samurai or some shit.
