The mods of all the major communities there remove comments criticism Hexbear and usually follow it up with a ban. It’s absolutely clear what is happening and it shouldn’t be allowed to continue.

    ml and Hexbear definitely don’t have the same users. Their comments look very different. Hexbear is far more extreme in everything way.

      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

      I would need pretty convincing evidence to believe that the major .ml communities don’t have at least one mod each with a Hexbear alt.
