Hexbear is one of the oldest lemmy instances, but only recently started federating.

Are you suggesting that for the last 3+ years, someone was running a troll farm where the trolls could only talk to each other?

not sure if you are serious, but no, that's not what i am suggesting.

Oh, sorry then, I must have misunderstood.

Since federation, a lot of libs who've never encountered a leftist opinion have been calling us russian or chinese bots for not supporting the latest imperialist adventures.

Literally no one mentioned hexbear, or leftism in general, before you did. Quite a victim complex you got there.

don't take me wrong, i am pretty sure i am not in the same boat with comrade who thinks that "not supporting the latest imperialist adventures" is some clever newspeak, but your comment was first time i have heard about "hexbear" - whatever that is.

clever newspeak

If that's what you want to call it. I was just using the old-timey term to contextualize US actions in Ukraine/China/Iran/DPRK/Niger among the hundred other wars waged for the same purpose over the last couple centuries.
