I have a Hexbear alt. I use it, ironically, when I don't want to talk politics, or if I want to keep up with the news, as the News mega is very useful.

A lot of people hold contradictory views about it, or think it's some hyper-toxic space, but in my experience its less toxic than most other instances on Lemmy and gets into far fewer arguments. I love using the games comm and other hobby comms.

I also run a Capital weekly reading thread there, though momentum was hurt by the debacle a few months back regarding domain name.
