'Spreading of the 100 biggest Lemmy communities'
(gehirneimer.de)
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
Making up shit out of whole cloth lol
To remember 9/11 you have to be at least in your late 20s or early 30s. Tells you something about these nerds that they think so badly of literally all young people.
I remember 9/11 very well, and anyone who lived in the last 25 years knows what it is like to live in the post-9/11 hysteria.
Moving to a different country actually reaffirmed my leftist positions. Turns out the more of society you see, the more left you are on average. It decimates all illusions. This is commonly known anyway, and represented in every electoral map for fucking ever
It’s ironic to accuse leftists of being unaware of other countries. When I was (more of) a lib I never learned that much about other countries. Now I’m reading a lot more books and watching a lot more non-English content from other points of view.
Just an FYI that fascist 3 arrows account emmie was doing 4chan shit here just a few days ago. The only thing that's "genuinely sad" is how nakedly obvious they're a hog's troll account rolling in its own shit and blaming us for the smell.
Was gonna say I recognise that loser!
Ever met a brunch liberal that pulled the "I traveled to EXOTIC FOREIGN COUNTRY and had EXOTIC FOREIGN FOOD therefore I am right about everything and you are an ignorant peasant" card? I see that up there.
Going to London is about as far as many Americans get
And of course, the stereotypical European arrogance about being “well traveled” because they passed through a few countries on a day trip
I have some thoughts about travel as a way to acquire culture, perspective, and wisdom — or rather, the illusion of such. I might post about it sometime soon once I get my thoughts together, but basically at this point I’ve dialectically negated my old views of travel and decided that using travel as a means for enlightenment is a relic of colonial ideology. I don’t think one can learn much about other cultures without living among them for extended periods, years.
I'd enjoy that effortpost, comrade.
Ah yes, the European cosmopolitan, having vacationed everywhere and worked at one place, which obviously makes them worldly. Imo you don't really get to know a place until you have worked there, and even then it is just a small sliver of experience and you have to be intentional about going around and talking to people to really get a big picture look, a process that can take even concerted academics 3-5 years, which means the place will have changed moderately even by the time you have published the book.

It's so uncanny to be a fly on the wall in other parts of the fediverse, I started subbing to a bunch of hexbear comms only after seeing people with an axe to grind against hexbear specifically and getting curious. A vote for bart is a vote for anarchy.
Great job, comrade! I've all but abandoned lemmy.ml, it was getting too frustrating to deal with the constant .world anticommunism.
Honestly the main reason I've been meaning to make a hexbear account has been to access the dunk tank, because lemmy.ml blocks it now
That was the catalyst for me doing the same! I was only on Lemmy.ml before it started blocking the dunk tank.
lmao why tf would they block that community specifically?
A couple of Lemmy mods had a turn in the dunk tank
Lemmy co-dev and noted transphobe tutonic came in to defend one of the .ml admins who was getting dunked on for defending CSAM, got dunked on himself and so blocked the whole comm.
Could just join a random small instance that don't block instances/comms on hexbear to continue being a fly-on-the-wall and access dunktank.
Spreadsheet of instances listing blocked instances and blocked by (BI and BB): https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances
I was thinking of that, leaning towards just making a hexbear alt and continuing to moderate /c/transgender on the side.
"there's actually a lot of LBGT people there, based"
