I love the fediverse movement's goals to create more democratized online services, especially with things like social media, and I believe that if it properly matures technologically and comes to fruition it will have real potential to make the web better.

At the moment, however, a large portion of users on the fediverse (particularly on mastodon) are libs who post almost exclusively about elon musk, twitter, or trump, with the occasional incoherent yet ferociously racist post about geopolitics.

I'd like to improve my mastodon feed and explore the fediverse more in general, beyond just free software news and hexbear. For funny posts and politics on mastodon are there any other groups comparable to hexbear? Are there any accounts or communities in particular that you really like?

Thanks and have a good day

    Bit of a trick question since Mastodon doesn’t have communities, but I’d say the nearest equivalent is perhaps toots.matapacos.dog:

    So my goal here is to establish an anti-sectarian instance along the lines of Hexbear where Anarchists and Marxists are welcome.

    hexbear is the only decent place left on the internet

    you can tell because if there were others they'd be occasionally linked from hexbear
