I don't really think much of them. I'm just here because hexbear is probably one of the only places on the internet that accepts my ramblings on ballistic missiles, geopolitics and working towards a polycentric/multipolar world. I don't use the rest of the site outside of the news megathread much. I'd probably be banned on an instance like Lemmy world because of being "anti west/anti NATO" or something like that, even though I try to make sure my analysis is unbiased. Lots of people on hexbear probably think I'm a "doomer" of sorts because my analysis is not as optimistic as theirs. But they engage constructively with what I post, which is the difference when compared to other instances which would likely ban me for the reasons I listed earlier.
