As many other threads have popped up about this over the last few days, I thought I’d raise a thread on kbin about this too.
From what I’ve seen, they seem like mainly inflammatory trolls who steadfastly support either Russia or the CCP while adding little of value to actual discussions elsewhere on the site.
Was a vote to federate with them in the first place even had?
What’s everyone’s thoughts?
Nonscientific strawpoll:
Does it though?
For how long?
If hexbear is cut off won’t the trolls just migrate to different instances?
Not likely. They’d been bottled up in hexbear not bothering anybody for a while before they decided to federate. They spend so much time circlejerking it makes sense they wouldn’t even notice going back to that.
Counterpoint: There is no fun being a troll when everyone agrees with you.
The whole point is to say bad things to spark outrage among normies.
That is why the trolls want to be on Twitter and not Truth Social.
If hexbear gets cut off, it becomes boring to the trolls and they will move on.
