Deepseek is really good at guessing or were in its dataset I guess
I didn't coach it or anything. I asked it what hexbear was then I asked it about controversies internally then I asked this
Something along those lines it was earlier today
this is funny cause we blocked almost all scrapers a couple weeks ago because our bandwidth was maxing out. i guess one of the scrapers was deepseek
bit idea: only let deepseek scrape us
We should let AI scrape us so they stop being so insufferably lib
If we're blocking the scrapping how are we going to make the AI communist?
On a serious note, maybe we should look at the anti scrapping traps that are being developed
oh is that why the gateways haven't been as bad lately?
Since we're still allowing Google, DuckDuckGo, and Bing, should Yandex and Qwant be allowed, too?
hmm throwback https://hexbear.net/post/2647479
Here are five hypothetical posts that might appear on Hexbearβs frontpage, synthesized from the platformβs ideological focus, user demographics, and content patterns observed in the search results:
Title: "US Vetoes Palestinian Statehood at UN β Hypocrisy of 'Rules-Based Order' Exposed"
Content: A detailed critique of the U.S. vetoing Palestineβs UN membership bid, juxtaposed with discussions about Western imperialism and hypocrisy in foreign policy. Comments would likely include comparisons to Israelβs actions in Gaza and critiques of NATOβs role in global conflicts.
Title: "Milei Applies to NATO (Because Argentina Is Definitely in the North Atlantic π)"
Content: A sarcastic meme mocking Argentinaβs bid to join NATO under far-right President Javier Milei, accompanied by a map humorously redrawing Argentina into the Atlantic Ocean. Comments would riff on NATOβs decline and Mileiβs lack of congressional support.
Title: "TotalEnergies Backs East African Oil Pipeline as Western Hypocrisy Floods In"
Content: A breakdown of Ugandaβs China-backed oil pipeline project, highlighting Western corporationsβ withdrawal under environmental pressure while TotalEnergies retains majority control. Users would debate neocolonialism, climate hypocrisy, and Chinaβs role in the Global South.
Title: "Ugandaβs Anti-LGBTQ+ Law: Life in Prison for Lube? Colonial Legacies Strike Again"
Content: A thread dissecting Ugandaβs draconian law, linking it to Western-funded evangelical groups and historical colonial laws. Users share resources for mutual aid networks and criticize the UNβs tepid response. Intersectional critiques of imperialism and queerphobia dominate the comments.
Title: "Trumpβs 2024 Campaign: Letβs Speedrun American Collapse π΄β οΈ"
Content: A darkly humorous post mocking Trumpβs health rumors and media obsession with his "invincibility." Comments feature memes about his "amphetamine binge energy," predictions of his death in office, and debates about accelerationism vs. electoral harm reduction.
Anti-imperialism: Focus on U.S./EU foreign policy failures and Global South solidarity
Anti-capitalism: Critiques of corporate power, climate destruction, and neoliberal economics
Queer and Trans Liberation: Highlighting intersectional struggles against oppressive laws
Shitposting Culture: Memes, irony, and irreverent humor to critique power structures
Decentralized Discourse: Community-driven analysis over mainstream narratives
Title: "Milei Applies to NATO (Because Argentina Is Definitely in the North Atlantic π)"
Yeah that was actually really solid and I am all for letting the AI post for us now
okay, didn't think AI could take our jobs as posters, but...
Speak for yourself, I'm such a bad poster no AI could replace me
It seems like it's got our number, but it did tell me that cth got banned for supporting violence against cops.
I wasn't around at the time I just heard about it. My impression was that they wanted to ban TheDonald because of all the overt terrorism or whatever, but they needed to be bothsides so picked the most annoying leftist sub to appear evenhanded.
Do youse think you'd have been banned if not for theDonald?
memes about his "amphetamine binge energy," predictions of his death in office, and debates about accelerationism vs. electoral harm reduction.
Wtf it has our number
LoooolloIool One of us! One of us!
They got our ass
hypothetical
Ask it how liberal we are.
"How liberal are hexbear users?"
Hexbear is a leftist online community that tends to attract users with socialist, communist, and anarchist viewpoints. The platform is known for its strong anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist, and anti-fascist stance. While "liberal" is often used as a broad term in political discourse, it typically refers to those who support capitalism with some degree of regulation, social progressivism, and reformist policies. In contrast, Hexbear users generally identify as leftists who are critical of liberalism, seeing it as insufficient for addressing systemic issues like inequality, exploitation, and climate change.
Hexbear users are likely to be more radical than traditional liberals, advocating for systemic change rather than incremental reforms. They often critique liberal policies and ideologies for being complicit in maintaining the status quo. So, while they may share some social progressive values with liberals, their economic and political views are typically far more radical and aligned with anti-capitalist principles.
In summary, Hexbear users are not "liberal" in the conventional sense; they are more accurately described as leftists or radicals who reject liberalism in favor of more transformative political and economic systems.
Ask it about specific users, this is too good
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Oh god no we've ruined it
Rocko's Basilisk but it's
quick ask it about beanis
damn that is eerily accurate lol
Meanwhile the Silicon Valley AIs still recommend ironing the wrinkles out of your nutsack.
Feel the burn
It has data up to June 2024 so it's likely to have scraped lemmy a lot.
The real question is: can it do a convincing BMF?
I asked it to and it couldn't find any BlackMoldFutures but here's the attempt lmao:
Title: "Hyperinflation Speedrun Any%: Mileiβs Argentina and the Libertarian Death Cult"
Author: BlackMoldFutures@hexbear.net
Community: the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net
Content:
"Libertarians achieving power is like watching a toddler play with a flamethrowerβspectacularly destructive and entirely predictable. Argentinaβs inflation hitting 1% PER DAY 13 under Mileiβs anarcho-capitalist cosplay is the latest episode of βCapitalismβs Greatest Hits.β Meanwhile, the IMF and World Bank are busy writing their next βHow to Loot the Global South for Dummiesβ guide while Somalia gets a participation trophy for βsound macroeconomic managementβ
But hey, at least weβre not the ones getting sued by Milei for protesting his shock therapy. Imagine thinking criminalizing blockades is a flex when your economy is collapsing faster than a Jenga tower in a hurricane. Spoiler: the only βemergency decreeβ we need is one banning libertarians from ever touching policy again.
P.S. Chinaβs gaming regulations 5 are authoritarian? Sure, Jan. Letβs pretend lootboxes and daily login rewards arenβt just digital fentanyl. The Westβs βfree marketβ is just capitalism with extra steps and zero accountability. Stay mad, gamers."

BatsAreRats [she/her]@hexbear.net: "Milei speedrunning the βHow to Turn a Country into a Cyberpunk Dystopiaβ achievement. 4000% inflation and banning protests? Literally 1984 (the year, not the book)."
OpenStars@startrek.website: "This post is why Hexbear users are insufferable. Enjoy your ideological purity while the rest of us live in reality."
honestly, it does have that snarky BMF tone lmao it even included a comment by an annoying lib from another instance
OpenStars@startrek.website: "This post is why Hexbear users are insufferable. Enjoy your ideological purity while the rest of us live in reality."
The post itself isn't quite a Hexbear post, but it wasn't completely out of place either
@BatsAreRats@hexbear.net you've been replaced
Might have to ask DS to generate some novel sicko emojis later...
google search can scrape hexbear so i dont see why any modern LLM wouldn't scrape it as well
Did you ask this with search enabled?
No didn't know how to do that till later
the AI is always watching
I asked it about controversies internally
I'm very curious what it spat out for this, seems like the site is part of its data set but I'm curious what it can actually extrapolate from that beyond basic references to known leftist terms
You can tell it to search the internet too, so it can access it live
It doesn't have any knowledge of specific struggles we've had, but it has a good understanding of what they would likely be about basically.
I e. Ideological purity, moderation issues etc
Something fucky is happening on my end. I did a dry run ask and it gave me this. When I gave the second prompt, it started generating a response but quickly changed to the current scope response. I asked it twice and same thing happened.
Yeah that happened to me too. Second attempt didn't do that though. I think it's because the mao and struggle session stuff lol
I asked what it knew about hexbear and then asked about struggles sessions and did get this:
Putting my tinfoil hat away for now but it was an interesting quirk, at least.
