We can assume how hexbear users feel about themselves. I’d be more interested in how local users feel.

    Some of the folks at hexbear seem legitimately cool, but a large portion of those who engage with popular posts are deliberately antagonistic, narcissistic, and exhausting.

    I get that they're a large, established instance, but it's literally just where CTH went to die and ferment. The resulting sludge of stupid image shitposting and autocratic proselytizing taints the entire platform

      I'd say it's more the other way around. Most of them seem pretty cool, albeit unwilling to put up with shit and definitely living in an echo chamber where some pretty weird ideas took hold. That has definitely been a shock for some of the people here, and tbh the ones who are getting turbo mad about it seem like they deserve it.

      A few of them are mendacious, sleazy trolls that reply to everything and should be banned from both our instance and theirs.
