I think lemmy.world is already pretty bad. To get away from their posts and comments I've considered joining hexbear, since you people honestly have the best content and most wholesome community and aren't federated with .world, but I also don't want to be completely isolated from the rest of the fediverse. However, I just noticed there are only 5 instances in hexbear's blocked instance list and plenty in the linked list. Maybe I didn't notice how all other instances started federating with hexbear again?

I don't know what the "allowed" instance list means though.

Make an account, Hexbear is perfect for you. I made a Hexbear account a few months ago and enjoy my time there much more than I do here, there's far fewer struggle sessions and the quality of discussion is much higher.

I also don't want to be completely isolated from the rest of the fediverse.

The cool thing about Hexbear is that it has by far the most active userbase I have seen, it's fully self-sufficient and you won't likely miss the rest.

Some instances have Hexbear blocked on their side that Hexbear doesn't have blocked, so this can be misleading, however it's mostly the right-wing instances like shitjustworks, lemmy.world, and lemmy.ca that are of note, and their content fine to drop.

Hexbear the most wholesome community? I need to wash my eyes after reading that.

Although I'm curious, what itch does it itch for you?

Have you visited Hexbear? It's a very wholesome instance overall and posters are very supportive, assuming you're a Leftist. What leads you to believe otherwise?

Lol when I got banned from a major comm for defending a trotskyist comrade, after two years of participation on the instance, I learned all about the wholesomeness of your "non-sectarian" instance.

I think a prime example of hexbear wholesomeness is their trans megathreads: https://hexbear.net/post/3363552

They even have a community to help each other out: !mutual_aid@hexbear.net

I'm genuinely ~~un~~surprised my previous comment got removed but anyway at least thanks for answering and providing an example.

Anticommunism is generally removed on Lemmy.ml, probably the reason.

[–] TheFrirish@jlai.lu 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

yes it is known that not being wholsome = not being communist.

This but unironically.
