This is a good call. I have seen them causing chaos in the wild often, though not always. I’m sure some of them are nice people, but one of the main problems with Hexbear is that they already have a huge established community whereas everyone else is a lot smaller, and they seem to engage in targeted manipulation of posts and comments, upvoting each other and downvoting others etc. Whenever anything regarding Hexbear comes up you will always see “Hexbear isn’t so bad! they’re just having fun!” as the highest-upvoted comment, and if you check who upvoted it it’s 90 Hexbear users. I’ve seen it so often that I really don’t feel that comfortable having them around manipulating political posts and who knows what else.
