Just wanted to share a thread for those who don't regularly venture out of the bear site. Can't cross-post since it's defederated. It's small but has some numbers about community counts, active users, etc and links to more info from https://lemmyverse.net/. Thought it was notable that Hexbear shows up no matter how you sort it.
OP image is community count sorted by active users in the last month.
Edit: sorted by comments
Half the thread is "I have never interacted with Hexbear but they are literally the worst instance and I'm so surprised they exist"
The funniest part of that is all the people who think we're a bunch of uneducated kids who base our opinions on nothing, while fully admitting they have never interacted with us at all. Yes I see. Tell me more about making opinions on something you know nothing about
yeah the accusations that we were born after 9/11 just do not hit, all reddit-styled forums (especially the fediverse) are skewed toward olds
They say that because we post like zoomers and gen-a (not really we just aren't baffled by their memes).
I’m a zoomer though what abt me :,’,(
BEGONE CHILD! Let the old gays, trans-femmes and occasional cis white guys post in peace!
Sidenote; Also zoomers are literally starting to graduate college rn, so still young but not like, 14 year old teenager young, the real big thing is that we, unlike .world or .trek, are not, for the most part, tech people. And if we are, we are usually tech-pessimists. Creates a huge posting culture difference.
