honestly hexbear is way better. a more varied community of interests where i know at the very least anyone im talking to is some sort of leftist and isnt gonna say some weird shit about immigrants or trans people or start bootlicking pigs or capitalists. you cant even say slave owners should be killed on reddit without the entire community being nuked for it. lame.

reddit being sensitive fascists only did us a favor. they forced us to make our own community rather than rely on their bullshit infrastructure

same thing happened with Genzedong and Lemmygrad.

They had the infrastructure in the making, before GenZedong was quarantined (2019 - Lemmygrad.ml was made, after lemmy.ml)

and it does help that Dessalines, our lord and savior, helped them

Even with all that infrastructure, Lemmygrad still won't allow you, smh

the core /r/cth was a lot more politically consistent than hexbear is, especially nowadays (2022 onwards), even despite all the babyleftists.

politically consistent? you mean the majority of the subreddit was more politically aligned with each other than most hexbears are? or am i misunderstanding?

[–] SamotsvetyVIA@hexbear.net 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

in that hexbear is more vibes based politics and sometimes devolves to electoralism/being libs. I feel like if CHAZ happened today hexbears would be unironically losing their minds whereas cth was at least somewhat skeptical (I could be misremembering and that it was actually genzedong). also the lib rehab and everyone is a lib except me jokes, and frequent struggle sessions kind of helped prune early hexbear, without which it has lost its focus
