The mods of all the major communities there remove comments criticism Hexbear and usually follow it up with a ban. It’s absolutely clear what is happening and it shouldn’t be allowed to continue.

    governments shouldn’t have the ability to degrade our platform with shills and LLMs

    I agree, but that is exactly what the United States and the West does.

    China, Russia, and Iran do it as well, of course.

            Literally everyone on this site is an anonymous account. Why would you possibly think that is a relevant point? Plus your account is less than 30 days old, so if we’re going to start questioning users’ motives and origins then perhaps we should start with you

            And I watch congressional hearings with intelligence agency leaders. They have affirmed that our messaging (propaganda) efforts on the internet have greatly improved since 2016. Which is evident just from comparing Reddit today to reddit in 2015
