Thanks for the quick answer, Kuro.

I also dont like summer.
The missing punctuation made reading this surprisingly hard.
This happened in 2022 and it was a minority share at one terminal, so hardly as worrisome as suggested in the headline.
Or they would rather live in a country that doesnt treat its (poor) people like shit.
They fucking hate Hitler and fascists and dont see todays russia in a good light. I would agree that hexbear is an echochamber about china but the same is true with reddit or other such sites, only in the other direction, where every single action of china gets seen as something they do because they are evil.
And even then hexbear advocates for left unity, which I can understand although I still dont like left wing authoritarians that much more than right wing auths. But that means that there are some "tankies" on it that do have positive views on the UdSSR and the PRC. And would you want to defederate from pro USA instances as well? Because I cant really see many qualitative differences between the atrocities done by the USA and the PRC.
Where did you see racism from hexbear users? Brigading kinda happens, although it is mostly just them being more vocal than the average lemmy user. And I dont think that I have seen much misinformation on the popular hexbear communities and even then it was mostly just framing of real facts.

Thanks for the explanation. I have heard of this phenomenon but never personally encountered it myself.
Is your link meant to direct me to a foot fetish image? Or is it some federation shenanigans?
2015 was eight years ago? Fuck am I feeling old now.
