    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

      This is also my take. Hex will troll you but ML folks actually think that you are an evil person because you don’t agree with them on some minor point.
