  Hexbear houses some of the worst people I have ever experienced on Lemmy. Do not go there unless you are truly toxic.

    Strong disagreement there. Hexbear users frequently brush against liberals and anti-Communists, but as an actual space it’s not toxic at all, in my experience. If you consider yourself a Marxist or Anarchist, you’ll probably fit in well, if not then you won’t, simple as that.

      I think they were talking about people like that, people like you.

        Yep, someone was being genuinely racist, talking about how Chinese people live in filth and their infrastructure is held up with duct tape, that they eat fake meat and fake tofu, etc. There’s a difference between critique of the CPC and veering off into racism, which is why I reported the comments, and then got banned for it for a day.

        When George W Bush says we’re invading a country for their freedom, do you believe him because that’s the reason he wrote down and he’s in a position of authority?

      i dont agree anarchists fit in, i love it from the outside cause theres some great memes and yall can be very funny, but then a lot of people start defending governments guilty of subjugation and shit.

        It’s a Left Unity space, plus historically Anarchists and Marxists work together more often than not. The Anarchists on Hexbear can speak for why they enjoy it.

      Yeah sounds like a good option for those of us looking to move to the exact opposite of lemm.ee then

        That’s why I said at the end that it’s a very different instance than lemm.ee. I was pushing against the idea that Hexbear is filled with the worst types of people, which is wrong.

    You say that like your instance isn’t so toxic that your admins gave up maintaining it

    Doesn’t seem to be the case, looks like you got into one fight regarding electoralism but you’ve even been upvoted on Hexbear in numerous other occasions.

      I prefer an instance that is unaligned in the lemmy civil war between the auth left and left libs. Having a hexbear, 'grad or ml account would instantly brandmark me in literally any conversation whilst most pure lib instances censor auth left content.

      Overall I prefer to get both sides opinions and then make my own unaligned one

        The struggle with such a standpoint is that both Marxists and Liberals have (to a varying degrees) coherent systems of values and understandings. For Marxists, as an example, Dialectical and Historical Materialism is the baseline, while liberals tend to be more idealist and deny aspects of class struggle. If you agree with either premise, then other conclusions necessarily follow.

        Plus, I don’t really think labeling Marxists as “auth” makes sense. All states are “auth,” as all states are instruments of class oppression, but the class in charge is what makes the biggest impact on how society is run. Liberalism is “auth” as the bourgeoisie rules, Marxism is “auth” as the proletariat rules. It is only by abolishing class that the state can be abolished, and class can only be abolishef by sublimating all forms of property ownership into common, public ownership.

        Either way, tangent aside, I recommend finding instances that match your interest, rather than strictly broad federation. Mander.xyz is a great example of an instance based on science, but it also has broad federation. Check Join-Lemmy.

      I guess several people saying they would kill me if they ever met me irl, and claiming their statements were “real, actionable threats” is just a typical online fight in a healthy community.

        I didn’t see any of that when glancing through your comments on Hexbear, mind providing an example with the context?
