Did you all notice that week or so of utter shock from federated Lemmy liberals when they saw takes to the left of themselves?
(hexbear.net)
I don't just mean outrage or regular rage, I mean shock that someone was to the left of "legal weed and free college but only for those that operate a successful business for 3 years in a disadvantaged community" 
takes.
I think federating took them by surprise, looking back. For about a week, those smug liberals were at a loss to even fathom what Hexbears were saying, and could only chant bullshit about how we're Russian/Chinese bots.
Sure they still do that but they've slightly adapted to Hexbear presence.
No, must have missed that being posted on the front page for weeks
Them disliking us is a given. Them being surprised by Hexbear's takes was novel to me.
I'm curious, weren't you once at least a little bit like them?
Being surprised by Hexbear's takes?
Well at one point, yes, I did feel genuine surprise that people existed that didn't like liberalism coming from the left, if that's what you mean. I learned about that in my 20s.
