The biggest surprise for me was the https://hexbear.net count, an instance I hardly interact with.

It's hard to beat an operation with state funding.
I was briefly a Hexbear member pre-federation, and while I don't have any proof, I left because that was exactly the vibe I got from the place.
"I have a girlfriend but she lives in Canada and doesn't have any socials"
If she wants you to go to a website to invest in Bitcoin, its a trap!
Ah, the old Lemmy Switcheroo.
The what now?
Hexbear contains a funded propoganda network filled with bots. All the other content on there is mostly just to lure people in.
Right because this corner of the internet is so important and well-visited we gotta spend our state funds on a propaganda network, planting the seeds years in advance of it being able to germinate and fill it to the brim with emojis. Do you even know what a good bot costs nowadays? Vladimir Putin would have our heads.
You don't need to make an inferno to spread fire. You just need sparks.
But, who's the alleged state sponsor? Don't tell me it's Russia, that wouldn't make any sense.
Lmfao
Oh come on now. Think a little. What is hexbear all about? LGBT and Communism. Now, guess which two things Putin heads the most? Do you really think that we have money to fund people LARPing as gay commies, on an isolated instance, in an obscure social network, in a country that's already extremely short on cash because of war? Get your head out the arse.

Btw its the CCP, moron. Did you think they honestly worship Xi Jinping because hes that charismatic?
Liking leaders because of their policies and not because of who has more rizz is just completely unheard of for you is it?
Stuff like becoming "General Secretary" for life, concentration camps for Uighurs, hostility with Taiwan, India, and Indonesia, takeover of Hong Kong, and Document 9 of 2013?
You like how LGBT aren't allowed to marry or adopt? You like that China are a corrupt capitalist oligarchy run by a militaristic dictatorship hand in hand with Billionaires because they at least claim to be communist?
The only place you can find tens or hundreds of people singing the praises of an actual living dictator is in a place they own.
Sounds like xi is the lesser evil compared to the US presidents then... but most of what you said is untrue.
Oh, so you're saying you fantasize about Xi because of the great policy of...
Not being somebody else in a different country on the opposite side of the earth?
bruh
