The last few posts made here, they’ve shown up, made the most inane, idiotic, and pointless comments, upvoted each other in a frenzy of circle jerking, and generally made a pest of themselves.

They’re a nuisance, and add nothing of value to the Lemmy experience.

      Yeah, that’s exactly the issue. Nothing of value comes from their instance, but they do follow the rules.

      Regarding the edit, what is their instance actually about, what are their leanings? I haven’t been to visit, and don’t really want to.

          I think calling them anti capitalism and anti racist is a bit reaching as many of them seem to support the state capitalism of Russia and the CCP. And I have yet to come across a hexbear user that has ever brought up the current genocide of the Uyghur population in China, they’d much rather point fingers at western countries for their issues instead of holding up a mirror to their own beliefs regarding “communism” in its current form in Russia and China.

              While I definitely agree with the sentiment that they would like to describe themselves that way, but on the other hand no one is forcing them to support those countries. And a sizable portion of those users and supporters seem to be unwilling to have a civil discussion regarding the issues with their “alliances” when brought up by other users.

          Being anti NATO, I suspect they’re also on Russia’s side regarding Ukraine? Yeah, fuck em.

          They’re authoritarians. The communist stuff is just an excuse to worship authoritarian regimes like the CCP.

        Tankies. They are pro authoritarian communist or socialist regimes like China and USSR, and anti western liberal capitalist democracies like US and NZ.

        They got banned from Reddit and moved to an isolated Lemmy instance long before the rest of Lemmy got big, but decided to experiment with federation fairly recently.

          The only person in this thread that’s not engaging in good faith and trying to cause trouble is you.

          So what’s with the attitude in your other comment? Clearly these people have no plans to engage in good faith.
