Hexbear is more sane than it seems but their loudest voices are… Quite loud. Generally because of the tools they had that other instances don’t and just come off as annoying to anyone outside of the community.
The problem with judging where the Chapo diaspora ended up is that while Hexbear started from the sub ban it has become a fairly different community and there’s also quite a lot of shared users between Lemmy.ml, Lemmygrad, and Hexbear, and then there’s the fact that the exit of the radical left from Reddit was about more than Chapo alone.
Lemmy exists because of them. Dessalines and crew didn’t make Reddit for Leftists as a mere coincidence after r/ChapoTrapHouse got banned.
Didn’t most of r/ChapoTrapHouse end up on hexbear.com instead of lemmy.ml? Or was it just the 12-14 year olds on that sub that ended up on hexbear?
