since lemm.ee is slated to be gone soon, does anyone know of any other instances with similar policies regarding defederation? i’ve always loved how i can follow communities basically wherever from here. it’s why i chose here over elsewhere. i just wanna be able to curate my own feed, but most big instances seem to have all these complicated beefs that mean i’d lose access to some communities if i moved there.
Come to hexbear.net! We aren’t a bunch of scary online tankie, we will answer questions asked in good faith, and most of us do real political organizing! We also have the best emotes of any instances.
When I posted there in good faith all I got were death threats.
Doesn’t seem to be the case, looks like you got into one fight regarding electoralism but you’ve even been upvoted on Hexbear in numerous other occasions.
I prefer an instance that is unaligned in the lemmy civil war between the auth left and left libs. Using a hexbear, 'grad or ml account would instantly brandmark me in literally any conversation whilst most pure lib instances censor auth left content.
Overall I prefer to get both sides opinions and then make my own unaligned one
I guess several people saying they would kill me if they ever met me irl, and claiming their statements were “real, actionable threats” is just a typical online fight in a healthy community.
I didn’t see any of that when glancing through your comments on Hexbear, mind providing an example with the context?
hexbear is fun and all, but i’d rather just visit. too many other places defederate from ya’ll, for reasons which are quite beyond my ken.
and happy birfday! 🎉
sorry I already finished middle school, why would I want to go back there
Hexbear houses some of the worst people I have ever experienced on Lemmy. Do not go there unless you are truly toxic.
Hexbear is friendly and cool.
You say that like your instance isn’t so toxic that your admins gave up maintaining it
Strong disagreement there. Hexbear users frequently brush against liberals and anti-Communists, but as an actual space it’s not toxic at all, in my experience. If you consider yourself a Marxist or Anarchist, you’ll probably fit in well, if not then you won’t, simple as that.
The real thing is that lemm.ee has very minimal defederation, but Hexbear uses defederation quite deliberately to curate a safe space for marginalized comrades, and doesn’t tolerate liberalism, so it isn’t a replacement for lemm.ee outright, just a good option.
i dont agree anarchists fit in, i love it from the outside cause theres some great memes and yall can be very funny, but then a lot of people start defending governments guilty of subjugation and shit.
It’s a Left Unity space, plus historically Anarchists and Marxists work together more often than not. The Anarchists on Hexbear can speak for why they enjoy it.
We push back against imperialist propaganda blitzes against official enemy states, so yeah, probably not suitable for most anarchists.
Yeah sounds like a good option for those of us looking to move to the exact opposite of lemm.ee then
That’s why I said at the end that it’s a very different instance than lemm.ee. I was pushing against the idea that Hexbear is filled with the worst types of people, which is wrong.
This you?
I think they were talking about people like that, people like you.
Do you not see forum moderators as people who have their own agendas and biases or do you think that something like that can be read uncritically?
And secondly, you’re getting real Aaron Sorkin pompous over something that boils down to “they report false positives on the subject of racism” and it just makes you look bad
Yep, someone was being genuinely racist, talking about how Chinese people live in filth and their infrastructure is held up with duct tape, that they eat fake meat and fake tofu, etc. There’s a difference between critique of the CPC and veering off into racism, which is why I reported the comments, and then got banned for it for a day. This was the comment:
The majority of the comment is baseless chauvanism of Chinese people themselves, not their government, such as when they say that the “national sport is to harrass other nations” or that “they eat fake tofu, fake meat, etc.” There were many other comments on that thread that weren’t thinly veiled racism, but still attacked the CPC, which I didn’t report, I reported this person specifically because the comment uses “criticism of the CPC” as a veil for racism.
If you scroll to the bottom of my modlog, you can sse that I got banned from [email protected] for “racism.” What happened, was the moderator made a rant about DEI in video games, and I called them out on it. They threw a tantrum, banned me, then deleted their account, leaving [email protected] unmoderated and dead.
The point is, don’t trust the modlog too much, if no context is linked. Comment removals are trustworthy, ban reasons need more investigation if they aren’t accompanied by examples.
What was wrong with his comment? It looks like he was calling out racism. Do you think mods can’t be racist?
Criticism of the CCP alone is not racist, reporting it as racism is report abuse.
Americans often launder their racism as political critique. Hexbears are critical of the CCP themselves and they can tell the difference.
It wasn’t criticism of the CPC alone. This was the comment:

Counter point: I’m a drunk cute Dog girl
I’m the special birthday girl, yr a weirdo who is obsessed with oppressing others for inexcusable cheap treats,and it’s my special day!!! 
UwU
Yr toxic to call my instance toxic for not just rebuking our certifiable facts/emotional labor. But mostly for being mean to the Gemini borzoi!!!
Send me money n I’ll use it for means testing, DM yr cashapp, social fash. GG
I genuinely can’t tell if you’re doing a bit?
