Idk about lemmygrad but hexbear isn’t inherently political. Hexbear hosts the largest trans and em_poc communities of Lemmy.
This is like a yes and no. There is a lot of communist talk, I've added comrade to my dictionary thanks to hexbear because I like the sound of comrade more than friend or buddy. They are very pro-Palenstine and hate Zionism. They also don't find Ukraine too favorable. But there are disabled, mutual aid, movie nights, lots of shit posting, dunking, and as you said trans and em_poc communities. There is a shock sometimes, like on 9/11. They hate the US, this is ok for me because I also hate our government. You can wish death on execs/wealthy assholes without getting banned. There is a culture, lots of emoji with esoteric meanings, and you will get banned for saying certain things like comparing China's president to Winnie the Pooh. Generally they favor China to an extent and the Soviet Union to an extent. But you will also get banned for transphobia, they are protective of their trans users/comrades. And they are pro-vegan, anything with animal products needs a content warning. Many things need CW, but I am ok with that. They also introduced me to Disco Elysium, which is an amazing game. Hexbear is ... unique.
he has been told this before but doesn't like hexbear hence it's political
no mention of blocking the conservative instances like hilariouschaos or calling the multiple conservative-leaning communities on sh.itjust.works political
Hilariouschaos has 13 users per week, 24 per month.
[email protected] ? The top post of the week stands at 64 upvotes, it would never make it to All. Also UniversalMonk has been banned a week ago, and they were the most prolific poster of actual conservative takes.
The new most actually posted the top article of the week, which is "Justin Trudeau Calls Out Trump for Starting ‘Very Dumb’ Trade War With Canada While ‘Appeasing’ ‘Lying, Murderous’ Putin"
Interesting, I thought that the trans community was split between hexbear and Blahaj, Blahaj being the largest
I go to hexbear for the trans mega because it’s much more lively than any trans com in blahaj. Hexbear has 3 times as many users as blahaj and about half of its users is not cis. So yeah hexbear likely has a larger trans community
