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

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.

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

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. sore-loser

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.

[–] Gay_Tomato@hexbear.net 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

What's lemmygrad, just other marxist community?

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

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

Desslines has stated that they believe instances that jump to defederation of larger instances are dooming themselves, and they want Lemmy.ml to be the "face" of Lemmy.

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.

Good evidence that we need a new recruitment drive . . .
