I decided I would actually take a scroll through hexbear to see how their LGBT community was getting on, since that seems to be the largest and the LGBT communities I have access to are sadly lacking in activity.

I checked out their main page and read a few posts. There’s just something that irks me about people glorifying Mao who was numerically worse than Hitler.

@[email protected] you made the right choice.

    I see them out in the wilds of Lemmy every so often, and while their behaviour is a lot better that it was when they showed up here, they’re constantly trying to drag their shitty politics into everything.

    One example was a classic “what’s something you learned embarrassingly late” post, and Hexbears were posting BS like “politicians have our best interests at heart”, plus a few other bad takes.

    Even on their best behaviour, they’re annoying.

      They seem to post a lot of images in comments.

        Those are emojis on their side. It will probably be fixed in the next lemmy release.

          Oh. Thanks for the explanation. I thought they just … really liked to look at a lot of pictures taking up whole threads.

        a still image which is used as an emoji, ie data from startrek laughing (or maybe its Lore now that I think about it) indicates hexbear folk

          That’s not exclusive to them though, there seems to be a lot of genuine star trek fans on the platform.
