After spending a couple days interacting with them, I have come to agree with the common sentiment hexbear already had that it's probably not worth trying to persuade a small number of steadfast neoliberals among those of us with limited patience, which includes myself.
If I'm a wimp and you still want to go buck wild, of course.
But the suggestion I got that .ee would probably be a better staging ground is at this point taken to heart. Since we are federated with them, I think the thing to do is make (appropriate, non-hostile) posts in .ee communities where the purpose of the comm adequately fits with topics that it would be useful to discuss.
As with my last post, which was misbegotten, it's just a thought I had
Does .ee have cool comms? I can be really annoying if that helps!
.ee is one of the instances that survives of other instances comms to get posts, they have a few big comms but most of their users sub to other instances for posts.
I just browse "All" by default, not sure what I'm missing by not curating subs. Probably around 50% of the posts are from hexbear on average
hexbears do be posting

Please, .ee isn't ready for Skyrim takes (they totally sre and you should do it)
Not to slander all of .ee, the two users from that instance in the Skyrim thread were such utter smuglords. The vast majority of other users were reasonable but reading those two was like teleporting to gamefaqs.
In the first draft of the post, I was going through comms and picking out potentially relevant ones before deciding it was superfluous and also there were too many comms. They've got lots of comms for news and issues centering on various parts of the world, a dedicated "Israeli crimes" comm in addition to their Palestine comm. "Collapse" had potential to go either way, which is fitting.
Anyway, it's not too hard to search them if there's anything specific that you're looking for: https://lemm.ee/communities
Damn you make .ee sound kinda rad.
They've got some cool ones but also a Conservative and a Neoliberal comm. It's a severely mixed bag in the style of old Reddit. They do have cool comms though.
Their neoliberal comm is a ghost town. The last post was a year ago, there's only one page of posts, and all the posts are by the comm's mod. Very few comments too.
Good point. I didn't investigate their comms very closely after a while, but I probably should have looked before I mentioned it like it was a real thing. I think I just assumed because there's a bit more activity on Conservative.
I think instead of focusing in interacting with users from an specific instance, we should instead focus on popular/active comms from other instances like maybe global news from lemmyzip, science memes from mander or the many movie/tv comms from ee
largest comms are
Yes but also it's with avoiding by their rules if it means we can get a few more (appropriate) Hexbear posts out there
We can do it
It even gives cause to say "yeah the mods here don't want pirated content but !movies@hexbear.net would be s super down for this sort of thing, you should post it there". Boom. Mission Completed
I think you meant abiding.
Yeah "worth abiding" oops
