Just wanted to share a thread for those who don't regularly venture out of the bear site. Can't cross-post since it's defederated. It's small but has some numbers about community counts, active users, etc and links to more info from https://lemmyverse.net/. Thought it was notable that Hexbear shows up no matter how you sort it.

OP image is community count sorted by active users in the last month.

Edit: sorted by comments

Half the thread is "I have never interacted with Hexbear but they are literally the worst instance and I'm so surprised they exist"

The funniest part of that is all the people who think we're a bunch of uneducated kids who base our opinions on nothing, while fully admitting they have never interacted with us at all. Yes I see. Tell me more about making opinions on something you know nothing about bean-think

    yeah the accusations that we were born after 9/11 just do not hit, all reddit-styled forums (especially the fediverse) are skewed toward olds

    CTH is famously an elder millennial fanbase too. Average Chapo fan age is certainly higher than the average Reddit user age

    They say that because we post like zoomers and gen-a (not really we just aren't baffled by their memes).

    In the vein of "only a Chinese or Russian person could be disagreeing with me right now about China or Russia" comes the new "only one of those dang kids today could be disagreeing with me right now about how kids today suck."

    My favorite thing is them believing that everyone from Russia or China must have hated it there, and while there are some expats that are like that, most of the ones I've met (outside of Indians) really like or miss their country of origin. I'm not saying they are perfect (far from it) but they seem like no more totalitarian hellholes than the U.S.

    BEGONE CHILD! Let the old gays, trans-femmes and occasional cis white guys post in peace!

    Sidenote; Also zoomers are literally starting to graduate college rn, so still young but not like, 14 year old teenager young, the real big thing is that we, unlike .world or .trek, are not, for the most part, tech people. And if we are, we are usually tech-pessimists. Creates a huge posting culture difference.

    How the fuck do they sell that lie to themselves the entire discussion around isreal Palestine was basically "Jesus christ I haven't seen liberals this bloodthirsty to kill innocent brown people since 2001"

    Were also the only people that seem to rember that reoublican presidents were fascists before 2016.

    I would assume most Hexbears are at least in their mid 20s, if not early 30s. I know we even have some older folks. Hexbear is many things, but a community of edgy teens is not one of them.

    Not that I have an account on Hexbear, but I spend a lot of time here (and enjoy it). I'm mid-forties, college degree, well-traveled (mostly North America, Europe and Asia). I have only grown more frustrated with liberals the older I get.

    Consider making an account here. I used to be on .ml, found myself spending most of my time here, and made an account. You can split time, or just stay here.

    Personally, I enjoy my time here much more.

    I've considered it. I don't really want to have multiple accounts, and for better or for worse, .ml is still more broadly federated.

    That's fair! I do consider the benefits of not having constant struggle sessions like on .ml to outweigh a decrease in content. If the best content and comrades are federated with Hexbear, and the worst aren't, the good posts we lose are worth the tradeoff for me.

    Helps keep your mind healthier too, I'm sure, not having to see the kind of garbage posted every 10 minutes on .world.

    Yep, my thoughts exactly. Do what you want to, of course, but just want to put it out there that I was in your shoes and don't regret jumping. I still check in on .ml every once in a while, but I don't spend all my time fighting libs in the trenches anymore.

    That's what happens when you defed, you don't actually see what's behind Lemmy.world's Iron Dome and vibes become myths become "facts."

    Same happened after CTH got banned. Tons of lies and myths instantly started cropping up about the devilish things that were once posted on CTH but could no longer be accessed. Everyone who hated Chapo was free to just make shit up and everyone believed it

    We are all just “trolls”

    Like they think we are over here just pretending to be communists or what? Do they think we don’t hold the positions we talk about?

    We are more well read than just about every single frothing liberal and chud lemmitor. Not that that’s a high bar to clear or anything.
