      It’s just the sheer, utter disinformation where it’s objectively demonstrable that they just make up shit about us and then all believe it.

      Reminded of how Hitler had documents forged implicating his enemies prior to the night of the long knives, and then getting angrier and angrier when he read them.

        Even viewing posts from other instances through Hexbear (for instance https://hexbear.net/post/2105999) will have the downvote button disabled. On the flipside downvoting Hexbear posts from other instances does nothing, we don’t see nor count downvotes. So if a comment gets hit by libs and sits at 10 upvotes 50 downvotes, we would just see that as +10.

          We actually can be down voted and it affects how our posts are ranked on other instances, it’s just that we can’t see the downvotes on our end
