I see all over Lemmy, people really seem to hate hexbear, and I don’t get it. Can someone explain why most of Lemmy seems to absolutely hate them?

    As a leftist, I find them annoying because they make me look like an idiot by association.

      They often get described as leftists, but mostly seemed like they were just trolls looking to pick fights. If someone told me they were a false-flag to discredit leftists, I would beleive it.

        I think you should visit Hexbear legitimately. They absolutely are leftists, just especially radical and aggressive.

        I sincerely doubt there are people reading up on Leftist theory just to troll and discredit leftists.
