Possibly, I didn't look where they're all from, nor do I know what hexbear is or why it's significant. Sounds like some kind of intra-Lemmy drama which I'm not too interested in. Just noticed a fair amount, lets say........not totally organic, seemingly agenda pushing comments.
Edit: Forget my previous comment. I now see the problem with Hexbear.
agenda pushing is when people have an opinion that doesn't align with my own
No it's when there's mysteriously dozens of comments just magically showing up that are contrary to the vastly popular opinion on only one contentious issue, that serve the best interests of an entity with the time, resources to try to sway public opinion through fake grassroots posting. Also that entity has a fragile ego and a long history of online manipulation.......oh and also coincidentally they are all coming from the same server
maaaaybe we weren't federated until this week. but nah, paid bots makes more sense.
why would any foreign political entity waste its valuable english proficient resources on astroturfing an online backwater filled with politically illiterate nobodies? peak liberal solipsism
“Vastly popular opinion” = I have never left my white bourgeois gated community in the sixty-five years I have dwelt upon this earth
Again, learn what federation is, and while you're at it, learn that racist white westerners like you are not actually "the vast popular opinion". You're just used to reddit, where disagreement is suppressed, so now that you're in a space where genuine different opinion is allowed, you're desperate into paranoia.
Vastly popular opinion held by whom?
I don't know if the server you are talking about is hexbear, but they recently federated and are one of the oldest lemmy instances. Lemmygrad also has been existing a long time before lemmy became as popular as it is today.
lol, so your issue is that people with similar opinions happen to be on the same server? truly the most obvious evidence of agenda pushing!
I love how liberals think anybody who's outside of their echo chamber must be a paid shill. It's absolutely inconceivable to them that there is a significant amount of people who have contrary opinions.
:sad-in-the-corner:
Damn wish my fragile ego could manipulate you into not being such a flaming

You sound very Priveldged , trying to impose your ignorance on others , whos your Dad ?
hmmm
hmmmm
hmmmmmm
lol
Hexbear is a large, leftist instance, that just recently federated, and most of us are pro-China. We're not bots and we're not getting paid, but we're not shy about our political views. That's the reason you're suddenly seeing a bunch more comments defending China.
Dude what are you talking about I’m paying down my mortgage with the xibux I’m getting from dunking on libs here.
You guys have been getting paid!? The whole time??
I am literally swimming in oceans of renmibi right now scrooge mcduck style thanks to all the libs I have crushed at zaddie xi’s behest.
Plz tell Xi I have not received my payments this month I need it for buying Estrogen please Xi
What the fuck did you expect? Lemmy has a Marxist Leninist developer named Dessalines. If you want, critique his ass for letting this happen...
Bout to do the same
You won't be missed
