A little maybe, but not much.

I’ve seen people say they left reddit to join Lemmy because of the toxic users. To each their own, but I personally think Lemmings aren’t much better. Some people over here can’t understand that sensitive questions can be asked without bad intent. People are way too defensive about their opinions.

It is disappointing, but it’s the better option.

And thanks to federation, if you ever do find yourself in a dumb instance like hexbear or feddit (lol), you can just swap to a new instance with no problem, and often users will naturally follow to the better instances where you don’t have content censorship .

people cry about .ml users but have no idea about hexbear lol

Most instances don’t block other instances of note though. The biggest decision you’ll have to make here realistically is “Do I want to access hexbear and/or lemmygrad” and that’s it. And Dbzer0 in their current block of feddit.org.

.ML is one of the worst instance in the fediverse, brother. Also stay away from Hexbear, Lemmygrad, and HilariousChaos.

When I first came to the fediverse I took up residence on .world because I didn’t know any better. Went from world to beehaw because I didn’t know about hexbear. After seeing people dunk on hexbear I decided to check it out and hey! Wouldn’t you know i found one of the last decent places on the internet.

If it wasn’t for dumbass worlders talkin shit I wouldn’t have found HB.

[–] spectre@hexbear.net 24 points 1 month ago

This is literally how our old subreddit became the most active on the entire website before we were banned haha, people constantly bringing it up out of context.

First time I logged onto Lemmy I came across two goons complaining about the 'Tankie Triad'. Went and checked it out, no you guys are great

When a bunch of genocide supporters tell me not to go to a place, I start checking out that place

I've had nothing but good interactions with hb people, and the instance is in my "backup instances" list for when ~~ffmhy~~ ~~vlemmy~~ ~~lemm.ee~~ db0 dies. Honestly I don't see why people complain about them. Heck, even lemmy.ml people are cool, if anything 2026 has proven we need more of them, I have to guess the slander is mostly a pro-corporate / reddit psyop. It's only mostly lemmygrads who are the issue.

Both users are massive anti-communists, lol.

paint the trans flag on a bat and hit middle guy with it repeatedly

[–] commieradcat@hexbear.net 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

But Kolanki is calling them out for saying that?

The trans bat needs to hit the top guy for saying transphobic crap.

Regarding the first commenter, "How dare these people I disagree with believe that they know the 'TRUTH' (i.e. think they are correct)? Not like my humble assertions of fact."

"The Lemmy userbase isn't much better than that of Reddit."

lemmy.world

Definitely not on diet.reddit.world lol

The lemmy userbase isn't much better than that of reddit

"The Lemmy userbase isn't much better than that of Reddit."

They're right, just not in the way they think.

[–] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 19 points 1 month ago

All true. Please stay away from Hexbear if you don't like it.

[–] EdlritchEconomics@hexbear.net 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Hexbear, Lemmygrad, and HilariousChaos.

One of these things is not like the others.

[–] Blakey@hexbear.net 26 points 1 month ago (2 children)

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 24 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Neo-Nazi instance similar to 4chan.

[–] Blakey@hexbear.net 18 points 1 month ago

Kinda what I assumed. Gross.

I have never even heard of HilariousChaos

HillaryChaos, so basically Hexbear 2

[–] ZeroHora@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 month ago

[–] moss_icon@hexbear.net 16 points 1 month ago

Karl may be complaining about the fact that they asked a question about transphobic framings that was easily googled and of course now Karl's a victim because some people (none with a hexbears instance username) assumed bad faith or pushed back on the transphobia itself, where Karl repeatedly personally answered responses directed at the question the post asked as if they were directed at this Karl.

I think Karl writes like a teenager and should be seeking support and validation outside of internet forums that correctly support trans people if Karl is this fragile.
