I think that I'd take your final point further and would argue that Lemmygrad has the opposite of Hexbear's lighthearted dunking culture in the form of a pretty scary gang of well-read posters that will inundate any liberal post with lengthy rebukes. It makes total sense that they got mass defederated, it's horrifying! Hexbear has been gaining more users like that over the past couple of years, and now we're at the point that if you post a lib take on an instance that's federated with us, you'll also get flooded with some lengthy, well-researched comments. We gotta keep improving the posting because a lot of low effort dunks still remain, but we're on a good trajectory.
Can confirm, took me a good long while and actually finishing Capital volume 1 before making a Grad account. It's very chill and relaxing over there, but can be somewhat intimidating in that you don't want to make a fool of yourself there, which is what kept me away for a while.
I started out with a lemmygrad account. Idk what you think grad is like, but lemme tell you, there isnt such theory rigour.

I got shot for misquoting Lenin
I have one now and I have a better understanding of it, genuinely very chill, I just felt out of my depth so I didn't want to make an account there to start. I'm happy with my experience there, even if I'm not super active there!
Yeah I've seen that you spend a lot of time in the trenches and not as lot here or grad

Honestly it's mostly that if I get a reply from a reactionary, I feel the need to reply back. I can't just let it sit. Prob going to take a bit of a break from Lemmy.ml for a short while soon, the last few days were a lot.
