I’m posting because originally when I was looking to create a Lemmy account I came across Hexbear. I read the code of conduct and TOS and to me it seemed like a great fit for me. However, after creating an account there, it seems pretty defederated.

Anyway I was curious on the happenings over there, because they have some cute custom emojis over there… but if there’s a reason they’re so defederated, I might just pretend i never made an account there

EDIT: omg I just found out this instance has cute blob emojis too :3 ablobcatrave

    So basically they’re just reaaallllyyy far left? Here’s the thing, I call myself a lefty, liberal, and progressive almost interchangeably. I don’t think I’d fit in there because obviously tiananmen square happened, and obviously what’s happening with Uyghur people is a goddamn travesty.

    On top of that, while I think on paper communism sounds nice, in practice that’s not really the case.

    Also, one of the things that bummed me out was losing access to cute custom emojis but I’ve since learned that blahaj has some blobcat, wobble

      That’s not really the issue. The issue is that hexbear allows and condones harassment and bullying. They also have a lot of “tankies” which are people who defend dictatorships and genocide.

      That one sentence would get removed and likely a comm ban on any of the Tankie Triad. .ml would remove it under their catchall “Rule 1: Bigotry”

      Blahaj could have you covered on that side!

      Yep. They’re pretty much far left.

      p.s.: nevermind, the picture below confirms otherwise.

          That’s a damn accurate pic describing those communities in a nutshell.

          They just love simping for dictators as long as those dictators say they’re “for the people” as they’re committing crimes against humanity.
