In the spirit of the Ancient Greek Agora, we invite you to join our vibrant community - a contemporary meeting place for the exchange of ideas, inspired by the practices of old. Just as the Agora served as the heart of public life in Ancient Athens, our platform is designed to be the epicenter of meaningful discussion and thought-provoking dialogue.

Here, you are encouraged to speak your mind, share your insights, and engage in stimulating discussions. This is your opportunity to shape and influence our collective journey, just like the free citizens of Athens who gathered at the Agora to make significant decisions that impacted their society.

You're not alone in your quest for knowledge and understanding. In this community, you'll find support from like-minded individuals who, like you, are eager to explore new perspectives, challenge their preconceptions, and grow intellectually.

Remember, every voice matters and your contribution can make a difference. We believe that through open dialogue, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to discovery, we can foster a community that embodies the democratic spirit of the Agora in our modern world.

What is hexbear?

Why would the people who want to defederate say that it should be defederated?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Hexbear is "a leftist social platform centered around community building through discussion, shitposting memes, and sharing content."

It's a self-proclaimed sister-site to lemmygrad.ml, which is an extremist red-fascist community. Hexbear was created after reddit banned the hate subreddit, /r/chapotraphouse.

/c/meanwhileongrad has some examples of both types of content these communities encourage, but you should check them out for yourself.

Though this is not a description of what hexbear is, you probably will be interested in my post where I stated why I wanted to defederate from hexbear: https://lemm.ee/post/5751850 (shameless self-plug, I know)
