It's a CIA honeypot where the goal is to trick FBI agents into thinking its an FBI honeypot.

The first volcel honeypot

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 40 points 2 months ago

It's Hegemonically-based organic cointelpro. Western leftists only know shit post, struggle session, and doom.

if so it's fucking bullshit, I ain't got sunked off even once

[–] Tom742@hexbear.net 26 points 2 months ago

Hexbear is a communist honey pot. Once upon a time I came here a confused and slightly outraged lib, now I'm the one true leftist.

[VENT POST]:Honeypot? YEAH RIGHT! The mods here make my job so fucking hard. I work at Langley and I'm responsible for reporting leftists who post too good so they can be injected with cringe takes and nanobots. I've done it maybe 14 times and still my colleagues and boss treat me with so much disrespect. Even my work crush, Sam, says that "work that can be done in your sweatpants doesn't count as real spy work."

That's all well and good, right? But it doesn't stop there. None of my agitprop makes a dent in Hexbear morale! I had to personally make a 6 figure deal trafficking arms in Africa to get lemmy.world to speak ill of Hexbear and it looks like it didn't even move the needle a millimeter!! I had Havana syndrome for 3 weeks cause some asshole kids in the Congo kept calling me a suit and pointing their microwave at me! All of my agitprop goes straight into the dunk tank or, ugh, the dredge tank. And then the annoying fucking admins won't even give me a backdoor API of all the posts, so I have to check posts by hand. It doesn't help that my mandatory AI assistant, Intelligent Ian, hallucinates 90% of the problematic posts on the site making my job 10x harder.

So no, it's not really a honeypot, it's more like a vat of fucking vinegar. This shit sucks!!!!!!!!

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Incredible. Tagline please

[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's the biggest compliment you can give me, thank you. If I have a choice, it'd be the line

I had Havana syndrome for 3 weeks cause some asshole kids in the Congo kept calling me a suit and pointing their microwave at me!

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I think the whole thing should be tagline tbh. It's fucking great. I don't know who decides these things though sadness but it's really good. Made me actually lol!

[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago

rat-salute it warms my heart. I also have some posts strewn about the website bemoaning my rival, Johnathan China, who is embraced by the community. The search function would find them

[–] iByteABit@hexbear.net 26 points 2 months ago

If the mods are CIA agents I have to admit they're pretty based amerikkka-clap

This webserver is the property of the Russian State. Tencent (the CCP) made an offer, but it was rejected by the Duma.

Yes, but the CIA enshittified it by not putting any honey in it.

[–] WeedReference420@hexbear.net 18 points 2 months ago

Either CIA or FSB it's hard to keep track

[–] PM_ME_YOUR_FOUCAULTS@hexbear.net 18 points 2 months ago

[–] ClathrateG@hexbear.net 17 points 2 months ago

spoilerit's a Coast Guard honeypot

Bears do like honeypot soo... i'm winnie pooing over here

[–] Edie@hexbear.net 15 points 2 months ago

I'm an NSA agent. I used to be assigned to Tor, but they had enough people on that, and scouting of hexbear suggested a "neurodiverse and queer" character to be ideal, so I was transfered.

[–] Sickos@hexbear.net 14 points 2 months ago

I do love honey ira

[–] TankieTanuki@hexbear.net 14 points 2 months ago

Anything can be a honeypot if you're desperate enough.

[–] HakFoo@lemmy.sdf.org 13 points 2 months ago

I feel like there's a bit where they try so hard to keep a honeypot going-- funding the mutual-aid requests, providing useful resources to keep the audience tuned in-- that they end up as revolutionary heroes.

Of course, some of the Entrapment Specialists would probably have to make room next to the medals from Al-queda they earned for the last 20 years of antics.
