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
I know some of the lore but people have already answered that, so give you my experience, I joined it see what it’s like, I reported something that broke there ToS, I was then thrown on a community called “dunk tank” or something like that.
I was new to lemmy and it said in what I thought messages was that I got a message and then I responded to it
Apparently it’s against that community rules to respond to it
I was permanently banned
So, yeah hexbear is capitalist bootlickers who mask them selfs as communists.
Although tbh. Lemmy.world seems very capitalist loving but at least I don’t get instant banned because I’m new. Never had any problems with Lemmy.ml in my experience, but also I have some problems with shit just works (or whatever its called)
There is an account with that name on hexbear, it has a completely blank modlog, or are you talking about some other account?
They are absolutely not capitalist bootlickers thats a wild ass take. I’m sorry they were mean to you, they got rid of the dunk_tank recently, though there was some drama about it and some communities popped up that essentially mimic it in a slightly less rude way. I’ve never found a community more accepting and understanding when you come to them in good faith and don’t say anything stupid about communism bc they will dog on you for that.
Not always true about the good faith. If you go against their core beliefs like “left unity” even outside their spaces, you can get in their shit list and get piled on. Happened to me in my own instance community.
Oh yea like rightful and fair criticism of the CCP’s human rights violations or Putler’s unprovoked war
Just “stupid” things lol
And North Korea and Libya as well.
They just love to simp for dictators all over the world as long as they say they’re, “for the people.”
