A community to talk about the Fediverse and all it’s related services using ActivityPub (Mastodon, Lemmy, KBin, etc).
This is not the place to gossip about other instances.
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
Users: a fraction of .world, posts: near the same, comments: like 25% more than .world
lemmyworld stay losing
Julian Assange is a bootlicker and Kremlin stooge who sold us out to the American and Russian billionaires. The Mueller Report proved he was explicitly trying to get Treason Trump elected and working with Putin to push disinformation to that end.
Now who’s bringing up politics everywhere? Guess it’s ok when it’s MSNBC slop
This is the representation of the true battle of good and evil 
Hexbear is Cao Wei, seeking to usher in a new era of peace and stability free of the corruption of the last dynasty. Even if it means cracking a few eggs. Alas, their fate is incompetence of their offspring, to be eventually overthrown by dynastic infighting after their glorious leader perishes 
.world is Shu Han, defenders of the status quo. They claim their heritage from 
, though they are only 7th cousins. They care more about their military than their own children, often casting them aside.
.ml is the Kingdom of Wu, made up of many unique cultures, but always beset on all sides by conflict and corruption. Sometimes friend, sometimes foe, but largely irrelevant in the grand scheme.
You've been here for like less than a month but you are already my favorite poster. 
Making up shit out of whole cloth lol
To remember 9/11 you have to be at least in your late 20s or early 30s. Tells you something about these nerds that they think so badly of literally all young people.
I remember 9/11 very well, and anyone who lived in the last 25 years knows what it is like to live in the post-9/11 hysteria.
Moving to a different country actually reaffirmed my leftist positions. Turns out the more of society you see, the more left you are on average. It decimates all illusions. This is commonly known anyway, and represented in every electoral map for fucking ever
It’s ironic to accuse leftists of being unaware of other countries. When I was (more of) a lib I never learned that much about other countries. Now I’m reading a lot more books and watching a lot more non-English content from other points of view.
Ever met a brunch liberal that pulled the "I traveled to EXOTIC FOREIGN COUNTRY and had EXOTIC FOREIGN FOOD therefore I am right about everything and you are an ignorant peasant" card? I see that up there.
They openly state that their primarily goals in federation is to be obnoxious trolls, and boy howdy do they put a lot of energy into it. They are first and foremost, just obnoxious. It's like 20% teenagers going through their edgy anti establishment phase, and then the rest are right wing, Russian, and Chinese trolls playing soggy waffle with each other. They pretend to be super serious about LGBT issues but then simp for Hamas, Iran and Russia. And one of their tankie leaders just got caught calling trans issues "western pink washing."
It's just a mess. It's probably a bit overblown, but the community is legitimately annoying if nothing else.

I'm comfortable assuming this is bullshit, but is it a malformed reference to an actual event that happened?
Malformed. I'm pretty sure this was a lemmy.ml mod, not hexbear or lemmygrad.
I'm sorry if this is cringy, I literally only use HB (lurker), what's .ml and why do they hate us? I was linked directly to HB when I started using, and haven't ventured off until today but is .ml just Reddit with less users?
Lemmy.ml is the instance the lemmy creators own. They are also communists but its become a general instance (filled with liberals) since the reddit exodus. Lemmy.world is just reddit but with less users and is unfortuantly the largest instance by far. They "premptively defederated us, as a last resort" before we even enabled federation. 
Ahh, so ml likes HB? I'm not super plugged into drama usually, but the libs make my blood boil. I had to uninstall Reddit, at this point it's literally all just us propaganda.
Basically yes but if you don't want to gaze at a sea of liberals constantly your only real options are here and lemmygrad.ml
I think ML are radical centrists who just want all teams to have fun and are ideologically opposed to censorship and defederation. The other instances are libs who start banning and blocking as soon as they hear something about communism that they don’t understand
whataboutism
