    In that thread: 200 people that fall apart at the first moment they actually engage with anyone to their left, telling themselves how smart they are

      They have threads like this very often and usually it’s the same 3 or 4 users who debate the libs. Cowbee, BrainInABox, Diva, and one more I’m forgetting. But what makes me very frustrated is that a few users on the lib side of the argument insist that the leftist users are nothing but dogmatic trolls without any argument. In general there’s just a lot of baseless accusations thrown around in these kinds of threads: they claim that we support Putin, that we don’t have trans users and it’s just people pretending, that anarchists aren’t allowed on Hexbear, that we’re bots, etc. But when a few users who are literal evidence against those claims (being critical of Russia, trans, anarchists, obviously not bots) respond to the accusations they’re dismissed as trolls!
