Suddenly seeing more hexbear posts. Did we re-federate with them?

If so, was it polled somewhere?

Ah, hexbear users still struggling with federation, so cute!
Post times are different per instance, my he/him, I looked through your article, and it didn't really wow me.
China is authoritarian, filled with mass propaganda and nationalism, of course they're going to think they're great.

  Tell me more about how the lemmy works. I have only been here 4 years.
  Good bye, agent.
  
  oh SHIT. THEY'RE ONTO ME.

  Yo we got that too in America.
  
  Oh every country has it!
  
  So why is that what makes China so bad? Like most things China is accused doing of the US has done worse.
  
  It's about the levels of freedoms.
  
  Oh, like the freedom the US provides for me to die homeless in a ditch because I can't afford my cancer treatments? Rah rah USA!
  
  yes, the US is also shit, well done
  
  You said:
  It’s about the levels of freedoms.
  I explain via personal example why the level of freedom is better in China and your response is "yes, the US is also shit." Well done indeed.
  Can you follow conversations irl, or are you just like this right now because it's hard for you to have your prejudices shown to be full of shit?
  
  what, were you expecting me to defend the US?
  
  Well, let's just say it wouldn't have surprised me. But I wasn't expecting you to just readily concede that the US's "level of freedom" is no better than that of China. Especially right after you just used that as a reason why China was "bad," specifically when compared to the US. But if you really are able to see that now, congrats, for real.
  
  That's why I said levels of freedom.
  Is the US freer? Yes, unmistakably, you can criticise officials and you have more expression. But are you safe, will you be cared for? No. Is it as free as most wealthy nations? No, not quite.
  
  You already did with your 'levels of freedom' remark, we're expecting you to explain your defense now.
  
  may i do it later? i'm a tired goat, I gotta sleep dude!
  
  Levels of freedom by what metric? Prisoner population? Oh wait, let me guess, skin pigmentation?
  
  Mentioned this already. Scroll down pal
  
  Good thing you're immune to it!
