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
Hexbear was one of the earliest servers that is now part of the fediverse. It was started after chapo trap house was banned from Reddit.
Users there realized the danger of the rich being able to shut down online leftist spaces well before the first waves of reddit exodus.
They do not put up with the slightest whiff of transphobic bullshit and moderate & ban that crap swiftly.
You may hear some weird takes on the US’s global adversaries, but you won’t have to put up with weird takes on the US.
