    I think you’re leaving out the elephant in the room: They’re supposed “leftists” who want nothing but to shit on the very people that the left needs to embrace.

    They’ve taken the “burn it all down” approach, and would rather just have a genocide of anyone on the right, anyone in the center, and anyone who asks them any questions about their beliefs.

    They have zero tolerance for inquisitiveness and regard all interaction thats not leftist snark to be in “bad faith”.

    They are more than likely a honeypot disinformation campaign meant to siphon off the most fervent leftist believers and incapacitate them via self-ostricization.

            They’re not friendly if you start asking about whether or not they actually believe that an armed revolution would succeed.

              I do just that every once in a while. Asking questions about their beliefs and stuff. Lemmy is more chill in general and hexbear looks like it is too. The outliers are not that common IME.

                Interesting, because that has not been my experience. On Hexbear or Lemmy.ml. Was banned from both. And I call myself a communist! But to them I’m a “lib” because I don’t want to commit genocide.
