Default lemmy libs are happy the leader of a war-crimes-for-hire org is dead.

Hexbear smoothbrains are happy that daddy Putin murdered a political rival.

We are not the same.

Nah i'm happy that another war criminal Nazi is dead, literally no hexbear user likes either prigozhin or putin

Oh, I must have had you confused for another group. Thanks for the correction.

All hexbear users are communists or anarchists of some kind and like we don't like the west particularly much and users from the instance have been getting into a lot of arguments about politics with default lemmy users - but we also really dislike neoliberal anti-communist gangsters like Putin, and we fucking despise Nazis PMCs like Prigozhin so in this moment it's a common enemy dying so both groups are happy

Hexbear smoothbrains are happy that daddy Putin murdered a political rival.

This nonsense is like screaming that Charles Dickens writes books about scifi robots in space. It just demonstrates that you've completely failed to do even the most basic level of effort to understand what the actual beliefs of anyone on Hexbear are. You just completely make up your own reality based on some cartoon you have in your head.

Like seriously, go and talk to people first before stating such wrong things so matter of factly.

Ok, thank you for the correction. My mistake was believing what others had said about hexbear rather than reading posts in the community myself.

Stop by the news megathread sometime and see/ask for yourself. You probably won't agree with a lot of stuff (and even that's partly cause there's layers of irony caked onto the walls), but it's not quite as bad as you think.
