With previous Rexit's like the API debarcle etc. many users were left looking for an alternative, but with decision fatigue and bad UX etc. most did not find the Fediverse a viable option.

What needs to still improve, how can we be ready this time?

I wouldn't recommend dbzer0. Since the AI purge, where many users who were critical that you can't be pro-AI and anarchist at the same time were banned, the instance has been largely taken over by tankies. Even their own admins are self-proclaimed tankies, and all their popular users are tankies who have accounts on Hexbear. They're, at the very least, openly a tankie bar.

Is that just some of the communities, or the instance itself, do you think? I thought their overarching tolerance policy was because they are anarchists, not actual tankies - like, would they be equally as tolerant of conservative viewpoints?

Anyway thank you for posting the link to learn more.

The instance itself. The admins, half of whom are openly tankies and actively participate in Hexbear troll campaigns, are all tech bros who love their AI and will actively silence users who are critical of it.
