    Surprise surprise, Hexbear users came to brigade other instances exactly the way they said they would. Bad actors through and through.

      What the fuck are you talking about this is at the top of /all/ and it’s about a socialist country, of course socialists are here.

      Feel free to point to the “brigade” organisation that exists, it’s a figment of your imagination. Nobody is brigading anything by simply using the fucking site. Are you brigading by being here too then?

      To be fair, it’s not like there was any sort of coordination or plan. We’ve been complaining about how Lemmy’s current active algorithm tends to promote these sort of comment-intensive, days-long threads before federation, and now a chunk of the fediverse gets to experience the fun of a patented Hexbear struggle session. Hopefully the Lemmy devs can tune the algorithm to discourage this sort of thread getting stuck in active which thereby encourages protracted struggle.

      How is it brigading when this is one of the top threads on active when browsing hexbear? How is it brigading at all when we can see posts from other instances naturally, without having to jump between them? This isn’t reddit.

      Surprise surprise, libs arrogantly assuming they’re the default and pearl-clutching about being “brigaded” because they got exposed to ideas that don’t fit the narrative they’ve swallowed, exactly the way they always do. Vapid, self-centered actors through and through.

        Millionaire journalists paid to lie and distort by billionaire executives told me that China is bad, therefore everyone on Earth believes this or they are insane. I am extremely intelligent.

      ill let you in on a secret. the posters at hexbear are all machines. they are posting machines hooked up to typing machines hooked up to internet machines hooked up to lib machines (you). you eat their post. they are making their shitposts immanent with your brain. they do not organize, or brigade, for they are a body without organs, pure potential posting energy that is being excreted in excess where desired. shifting in and out, de/ reterritorializing the posting space. the coils of the shit serpent are far more complex than the borrows of the molehill. welcome to the society of hexbear.

      I thought they weren’t even federated with anybody…at least I can’t see their communities in the list.

          Yes, I see now that you’ve recently federated with most instances. My instance is federated with hexbear.net, why don’t your communities show in the communities search? or e.g. if I specifically search for chapotraphouse it shows 0 subscribers. Are the servers still synchronizing?

              Ok, that makes sense, a few hours ago I couldn’t even find the communities, now I can see the posts in the communities I know the name of, but no comments yet. Well, it’s getting there, I guess :)

              Good remark, probably correct, but it’s not just that either, I go into the version of chapotraphouse from my instance and see no comments anywhere, but when I see the community from hexbear, the same post has 32 comments, still some syncing underway. That and I can still only find hexbear communities by their name and not with a “hexbear” search. I’ve tested this from two different instances that have not blocked hexbear.

                I’ve noticed the same thing. A lot of comments on federated posts just do not show when viewed from another instance, but do show up when viewed from an account that is part of that instance the post was made from. It’s really annoying and I’m pretty sure it’s a common lemmy bug but most people just don’t realize it because most people never try viewing the same post with accounts on different instances because there shouldn’t be any need to.

                It can be pretty drastic too. Like only 4 comments seen vs 40 comments actually being there. It makes me wonder what comments I’m not seeing on other instances and what comments of mine people on other instances aren’t seeing.

                  I guess then it would be great to open an issue describing the whole issue on the GitHub Lemmy repository. At the end of the day! It’s a FOSS software maintained by the people for the people.

                    Yeah, I might do that, but I think they’re already aware. I looked at some lemmy help communities back when I first noticed the issue during the reddit blackout, and there were a number of other people already talking about the problem. It was mostly people making their own instances because they were testing their newly-made instances with more established instances and realizing tons of comments were missing depending on which accounts they were logged into.
