Opinion of one of the admins regarding hexbear, just so you guys know where they stand:
In my view, the hexbear community is actually a positive force on this platform. They are frequently abrasive, but they ultimately have the potential to contribute to what we are building here. They are extremely active and some of them are quite intelligent. But they’ve also become accustomed to a privileged position on their own walled-in platform, and they need to be reminded that their views are considered ver extreme by the average person.
I’m surprised the admin gives it so much thought. Just delete “the Donald” and be done with it. Who is going to complain that they don’t want to give fascists a platform? That’s how you handle them, by not giving them a second thought, all this discussion is already giving them way too much publicity.
Copilot/Bing Search might put a big dent in that in the future. People will just ask an AI instead of “googling”.
