      I don’t think all of you are farmed trolls. My apologies if that’s how it was heard.

      I think many of you are farmed trolls, some of you are “useful idiots” to the troll farms, some of you have degenerated into a brigade of memes and a few of you are real people who genuinely hold idealistic opinions that couldn’t work in the real world. I doubt many of you belong in the last category.

        Is this copy-pasta or are you always this condescending? What if I told you that’s how we feel about libs like you?

          I’m hardly ever this condescending. I’ve made a special exception to hexbear users who’ve been brigading almost all posts about China and Russia since you federated again.

          You’ve been telling everyone how you feel about libs since you federated, so I’m sure you will continue with or without me.

          I know it’s tough to face the light and meet the wider world, but outside the basement you’ve been keeping yourself for three years, you should expect that people giggle at your idiocy, at best.

            I’ve made a special exception to hexbear users who’ve been brigading almost all post last about China and Russia since you federated again.

            1. Would you not agree that China and Russia are highly political topics?
            2. We seem to have different understandings of federation and brigading. Can you pls define what you mean exactly and how these concepts differentiate from each other? I can tell you from our perspective this thread is on our front-page. Like you (@lemmy.one) as us (@hexbear.net) are federated to @lemmy.ml and we each see the same post. We are both “guests” to that instance. Also since China and Russia are highly political topics why wouldn’t be commenting on here?

            You’ve been telling everyone how you feel about libs since you federated, so I’m sure you will continue with or without me.

            That was not the point I was making. I was telling you that you can litterally take that paragraph you wrote and paste it into any polarizing subreddit and get a bunch of upvotes in each ingroup… Reread what you wrote from our perspective… Don’t you see how we’d say it fits on you too? (If you’re having trouble: imagine you’re us and roleplay it, see if it fits then). You created copy pasta…

            I know it’s tough to face the light and meet the wider world, but outside the basement you’ve been keeping yourself. You should expect that people giggle at your idiocy, at best.
