Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

My first time experience here had been very politically charged and I asked about it in askLemmy and I was told to immediately block you people in the options I was given

I had the opportunity to browse around and found out that you folk were decent and weren't as awful as told in that post I made

How do you view .world and by extension other instances that defederate (and view negatively) towards you?

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.
