    It’s weird that lemmy.world blocks hexbear but not lemmygrad, while sh.itjust.works blocks lemmygrad but not hexbear…

      Best to just block both, they’re authoritarian propaganda factories for the CCP and Kremlin.

        Do you have any sources/evidence of that? I went over there a bit after the first wave of defederation hullabaloo and generally found the tankie ratio to be roughly the same as anywhere else (extant but uncommon)… I didn’t see any rampant pro-CCP propaganda, either, as I’ve seen repeatedly claimed.

        I have to wonder what the true story is, because the tankie/authoritarian narrative being circulated doesn’t actually seem to be true.

          There’s an image macro on hexbear right now about Chinese farmers being coerced into farming for China’s food security rather than things that are profitable. The people on hexbear are 100% in favor of that. If you read the article though, it says that one of the goals of the CCP is to lift farmers out of poverty, and forcing them to abandon profitbale crops in favor of food security for the country is pushing them right back into poverty. Again, the general commentors on hexbear don’t see a problem with the state forcing farmers into poverty to meet the needs of the state. That’s a very pro-authoritarian (e.g. tankie) view. They’re ignoring the harms, and the heavy-handedness of the CCP, while saying that it would be a dream to work in the fields instead of working in an office cube.

          So, I dunno what to tell you. If you’re missing the authoritarian narrative, it’s because you’re not looking.

          Then I don’t believe you actually went there and checked it out.
