        Lemmy, in general, is left leaning with the lead dev and “main” instance being unabashedly tankies.

        Hexbear is the big instance of people who are so fucked they tend to get banned even from there. The ml crowd is generally still worth talking to. Whereas the hexbear crowd immediately jump to harassment the moment they decide you failed a purity test because you advocated for a social program rather than insisting the entire system needs to be burned down and a managed economy run by putin put in its place.

        Needless to say: Anyone who spends enough time “on lemmy” is either on an instance that banned hexbear or muted them themselves.

          I leave em, it’s fun to watch them go and post their stickers, it’s almost like twitch chat

          Appreciate the explanation. I’ve seen some remarks about the instance in passing, I’ve just never paid close enough attention to how communities have interacted with each other in the past.

        When I accidentally interacted with one of their communities, it basically felt like a tankie 4chan. After that I just banned the entire instance.
