  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?

        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.

      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.

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

  When I posted there in good faith all I got were death threats.

    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.

    • oyo@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      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?
