I think a little clarification is needed. No. I don’t actually think everyone there is insane. I don’t care about the bans so stop trying to use that. HB enthusiasts coming here and trying to call me out achieves nothing besides proving my point
Edit: Feel free to keep trying to brigade me. It’s not going to scare me to take this down
Damn it’s nice to see the comments are surprisingly evenly split between hating on it and actually being reasonable. Quite a difference from when redditors first moved in here last year.
I guess the more people talk about it, the more people actually visit it for themselves and form their own opinions.
Nah, it is just a lot of hexbear alt accounts like yourself on your disingenously labeled “reasonable” side.
Not all. People over-generalize to forget that Lemmy.ml (and lately more people from Midwest.social) have always blended the experiences, being able to post to both “sides” like hexbear.net and lemmy.world that are defederated from one another.
And lemm.ee too though iirc they consider themselves more truly neutral than leftists?
And some alts too ofc:-).
I’m a lefty but I didn’t know which instances leaned which way when I got here. I chose lemm.ee because their defed policy itself was neutral and that appealed to me because I can do my own damn blocking thank you.
Every single person I’ve seen defending it has been a lemmy.ml user which from my understanding is not too dissimilar from hexbears
Lemmy.ml is run by Communists and has a lot of Communists in general (ml itself is a reference to Marxism-Leninism), Communists are going to be sympathetic towards Communists.
I couldn’t let it go.
