They are. People here shit on them and the 196ers, but there are some genuinely good and funny people there. The shitposty culture is pretty compatible with hexbear.

It's more of a mod culture thing where they allow constant posts about routing out the red menace, but when you speak up and mention that kind of posting is meant to break movements, you're a "tankie."

I just hope, over time, the funny people will start to get sick of the tankie paranoia, and come chill in our cozy unity space.

the 196 mods are very bad, the admin is also not great but less explicitly anticommunist. The users are mostly not so bad.

I saw one defending hexbear on a .world post complaining about hexbear. Also, aren’t they the ones hosting one of the piracy communities that .world defederated from? Yes piracy, no socialism?
