Thankfully those of us on world have not had to deal with them for the better part of a year. There's so much wrong there it's kind of hard to know where to begin.
All I will really say for now is that they are perfect anti advocates for the things at the surface level they advocate for.
I just don't get all the anti-hexbear hate I see on other Lemmy servers. Questioning your mainstream/western/capitalist beliefs and arguing about it shouldn't be ground for blocking them. I have yet to see any egregious behavior from them. Sure, I see somewhat outrageous takes on their own hosted communities, but have yet to see them cross the line on other servers.
Tribalism is a hell of a drug, and generally speaking people don't like it when you support fascists that aren't on your team.
That said, I don't think my instance is federated with them so I only see their comments in rare circumstances, and even then half their takes are straight from RT
Because they turn everything into a debate. I don't want to constantly be called a "lib" just because I don't think communism is the solution. These people would turn everything comment section into a warzone, even after I left all political communities. Even meme communities and communities about random unrelated topics became a minefield. I come here to destress and read some interesting stuff about topics I enjoy, not to be piled onto by 5 commies and be called a filthy lib for daring to say anything that doesn't fit their view. I'm left-wing myself, but to them everything to their right is evil. I'm happy I don't see their poison anymore
Demented illogical people. Also angry and bloodthirsty. Best to not interact. Waste of time.
Can't say I've noticed a problem tbh.
Me neither. Of course I have the instance blocked and every user I see comment; so that probably helps.
