I don't personally want to use hexbear (the ML posting annoys me for because I am a different far left ideology lol) but I think I'd probably like an instance that is friendly here and has downvotes (blahaj can't downvote 😞).

I don't really want to go to an anarchist instance if there even is one, since even though I identify with the anarchist tradition, I am a organisationalist which means most online anarchists annoy me too lol, and there aren't enough anarchists that agree with me on the fedi to make it worth having our own instance lmao.

So which instances do youse like?

EDIT: Aight i'll give this instance another go, but also to clarify I asked here because I like a lot of the posters but didn't know if I wanted to see it 24/7? I clearly value your opinion since I asked here and not somewhere else lol, calm down

This is literally why I am on hexbear. I am also a mod there so in spite of its reputation as a "tankie" instance I can assure you that is not really the case.

Oh I know, I have an account from way back when it was chapo.chat, but the ML posting still annoys me enough to not make it my home instance, it's kind of inescapable. I just honestly don't care to hear any further discussion on China, Cuba, Soviets, etc. Outside of my organisations discussion circles or the MLs I organise with IRL lol.

Might give my old account another go soon though tbh, it might not be as bad now you can browse federated communities.

Cuba

Oh come on, it may have a heavy leaning toward MLs but really? Cuba is like one of the least offensive places to defend/praise. And even China is surpassing the US on social progressivism.

You're going to invariably hear about those spaces no matter where you are.

Oh I support Cuba I just don't care to hear endless arguments about it, but you did convince me to dust off my old account so I'll give it a go :)
