I’ve had the same experience. Hexbear won’t accept any nuance when it comes to Palestine or homeless people.

So what? At least they’re not tankies.

Is there any way to set one up that protects the anonymity of the people involved (where even the organizers don’t know each other’s real names) for opsec purposes?

you will probably stop seeing much of that if you block users that post a lot to fediverselore and meanwhileongrad. They’re like the /r/subredditdrama of lemmy

the article you’re talking about reads like a case of “our holy narrative-correcting taskforce vs their pagan misinformation agents”

[bad actors] put in the effort to build reputation…, mixing legitimate page edits with the more politically sensitive ones

through subtle changes like casting doubt on the objectivity of pro-Western accounts

they also mention adding links from Russian state-owned news, but the article doesn’t indicate that those things happen in the same incidents though mentioning it in the same sentence is certainly an attempt to conflate them. It’s one thing to remove insufficiently reliable sources, correcting misrepresented facts, and banning the wreckers that consistently produce it, but I think there is an issue if validly-sourced edits are being censored by “bias adjusters” (NPOV purposes withstanding) just because the content is deemed to have been written by a suspected bad actor.

🤓 elitism

Some of the arguments/memes I’m seen there are been shared by conservatives, using the same talking points

such as…? People can’t respond if you keep being vague about it.
