If that was his 5D chess masterplan, why is he currently in panic mode, calling the coalition “unnatural”, painting it far-left, and calling for a fight against “all extremes”?

From their news post about federation:

• One of the few instances they’ll federate with is lemmygrad
• “We do not, as a site, have an official line regarding Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and a wide variety of viewpoints are represented in discussions. This includes many users with varying degrees of support for Russia, which some people may find confusing or objectionable.”
• Highly upvoted comments reacting negatively to the text above because it’s not pro-Russia enough. (“Putin is not a fundamentally evil person”, “it is a decade of diplomatic failure, with Russia trying to do the right thing and getting blamed for it.”)
• “Do not follow the Chapo Rules of Posting, instead try to engage utilizing informed rhetoric with sources to dismantle western propaganda. Posting the western atrocity propaganda and pig poop balls is hilarious but will pretty quickly get you banned and if enough of us do it defederated. Realize that you are a representative of the hexbear instance when you post on other instances.”
