Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane?

but they are linking a lot of outside sources. That’s what I mean by “backing their claims up”, studies about covid, about the ukraine war, about Israel, it’s not just someone making a claim and then everyone is nodding along.

What you’re not accounting for is how they curate who is allowed to post in the first place.

  I was on lemm.ee when I got radicalized, all my life Ive been exposed to people claiming all sorts of things. I was a pro-NATO pro-Ukraine anti-ussr anti-china average reddit lib that they were able to convince otherwise.

    If you’ve heard of Chapo Trap House that’s them.
    
    You seem to have lost the thread of this conversation, but this is how it started. Hexbear admins and mods definitely control who is allowed to post in Chapo Trap House, and related communities such as the_dunk_tank, even from instances other than Hexbear.net.

    Mathemachristian is on lemm.ee, Hexbear cannot control most of the communities he sees.

    Wait, like the drug dealer? but seriously, “they have moderation, so you don’t have to read or engage with facts, since they have a viewpoint” isn’t the dunk you think it is.
