I see all over Lemmy, people really seem to hate hexbear, and I don’t get it. Can someone explain why most of Lemmy seems to absolutely hate them?

    Someone who knows little about politics should probably be asking questions rather than saying shit like “vote blue no matter who” when they’re committing a genocide

    Hexbear is a strictly leftist instance; I think it’s reasonable for them expect someone saying shit like that to at least think they’re politically literate.

      The original comment gave the example of calling a federated user a dipshit for saying something like that.

      Also, while I agree that someone who knows little should ask questions, it is very common for them to assume they know enough.
