MODERATORS
Hexbear is mostly just trolls in my experience. They like to brigade any discussion involving Russia, China, Ukraine, etc.
Lemmy.ml is full of tankies that will also go out of their way to defend Russia and China but they aren't just blatant trolls which is the difference.
Having controversial opinions isn't the problem, trolling and brigading are
This is also my take. Hex will troll you but ML folks actually think that you are an evil person because you don't agree with them on some minor point.
Right, this is the major issue for me. I am here for the community. This site doesn't have half the content that Reddit has. We're here on principle with each other. If you aren't trying to make some kind of a connection with me as a person, if you get lost in some singular bullshit nonsense comment I wrote at 10AM on an idle Tuesday, if you start to attribute beliefs and opinions to me that I don't have, if you're not willing to reconcile and coexist, then I have no interest in engaging with you. Makes it real hard to engage with some folks - especially Hexbear.
I wonder who they were trolling and brigading in the years of their existence prior to them federating with anyone...
