I'm the admin :P

Irreverent commentary, staunchly pro LGBT community, correct opinions

Come for the dirt bag leftism, stay for the aggressive anti-bigotry initiatives and correct takes.

I was on lemmygrad at first but then they banned me for being a liberal so now I'm on hexbear

Because we have a dope ass bear

I'm the admin of mine and also like books and writing

Im a communist

I’ve been on Hexbear the entire time. It’s inclusive, yet has zero tolerance for reactionary attitudes.

Also since federation we actually have been complaining the quality of posts we see have gone down. You all lack an energy that made r/cth and hexbear such a breath of fresh air.

I started with Lemmy.world but then moved to Lemmy.nz because it was faster.

i joined chacha as a lifeboat years ago when the CTH reddit got banned and stayed as it became Ursus hexagonalis. the lack of ads, the memes, irreverence for institutions combined with respect for humans, and the absolute god-tier emoji selection is what keeps me here.

also, the megathread topics are very interesting/informative as a People's History, since many of the stories come from the "periphery" for all my world systems nerds out there. living in the imperial core, the constant cacophony of cultural outputs and hegemonic discourses, i appreciate any channel that connects me with post-colonial narratives, critical theory, etc.

Been here on Chapo chat, now hexbear since the beginning. Joined before federation was even a thing. Only instance with mandatory pronouns, one of a few with good political takes.

I followed the Daystrom Institute community from reddit to startrek.website.

I still remember the sub

Piracy 🏴‍☠️

moved there from lemmy.world because of downtime and also unclear, sloppy defederation policies. i've never seen a clear explanation why it took a month to defederate exploding heads (allowing their userbase to grow 3x) and week for rammy site, but hexbear gets defederated "preemptively". ???

also now i see beehaw content which is something i didn't expected, but it's cool

Beehaw cuz I heard they had strong moderation and don't shy away from defederation. Also bees.

I was on r/chapotraphouse before we got banned from Reddit. I joined chapo.chat after it was made by old r/cth users, and chacha became hexbear.net like maybe a year later.

I’ve just been here since CTH got binned.

I have no plans to look anywhere else. I think federation is a fad, and I won’t participate elsewhere.

Honestly, I liked that they followed electoral politics, helping me fulfill my sick, taboo desires.

The shark, mostly.

Also because I'm on their Calckey instance too.

And this:

Shit just works. Except when it goes down. But mostly. Still, the name is fire.

I'd rather comrades than liberals where my home instance is concerned; but I didn't have a temperature gauge for what hexbear posted like. Might make a hexbear alt in case something happens to the grad, tho; they're good folks so far.

Because it has a tank logo

Started on kbin.social and beehaw.org. Realized I liked Lemmy just a little more early on and stuck with Beehaw. But then they started to defederate from larger instances with open signups. So I joined lemmy.world to be part of the bigger picture. Then it got too big and people want to play the DDoS game, so now I've got this alt on lemm.ee as well. We'll see where it goes from here. 😂

There's an instance for my country so I just joined that one.
