      Mostly standard NATO-loving liberals, because we've defederated from the explicitly fascist lemmy instances, but there are still assholes who make accounts to try to "troll", but it always just comes across as really sweaty and sad

          HOW ARE THEY HERE

          Hexbear is a Lemmy instance. Lemmy is a federated and open-source alternative to Reddit. A federated social network is one that is composed of different instances that can communicate with each other. When a user joins lemmy, they choose an instance and register on it. They can then from that account on that instance communicate with the rest of the federated network. So besides hexbear.net, there's also lemmygrad.ml, lemmy.ml (where I am from, and you can see that despite us being on different instances we can still communicate with each other), and others. It works sort of like email. If you register on hotmail.com you can send emails to any user that has a hotmail.com account, but you can also send emails to someone using gmail.com, posteo.de, yandex.ru, sapo.pt or any other email provider.

          The people mentioned are generally on other instances that do not have the same culture or rules as hexbear, you can however block those users or even entire instances if you want to.

          The good thing about being here is that you're surrounded by people who will help shout them down and/or ban them if they cross lines

      the lemmy liberal posts are always fun because they are relatively few, and always get dogpiled by our commie posting supersoldiers
