Just wanted to share a thread for those who don’t regularly venture out of the bear site. Can’t cross-post since it’s defederated. It’s small but has some numbers about community counts, active users, etc and links to more info from https://lemmyverse.net/. Thought it was notable that Hexbear shows up no matter how you sort it.

OP image is community count sorted by active users in the last month.

Edit: sorted by comments

    It isn’t big though. They just get kicked out of everywhere else they go for being disruptive assholes, so for every community there’s a hexbear duplicate

    Duplicate with half the posts and a third of comments.

    All of which are super politically charged

    I like their indignity about politics being brought up ever, using that as an insult and mic drop like it wins the argument instantly. Such lib coworker ass energy.

    They are bots and cheaters

    no they are just a large instance

    nut uh it’s all just politics

    ???

      It’s so cute that they think their impotent whining is deserving of any consideration at all

      disruptive assholes

      I’m willing to bet most of us don’t interact with most of who we’re federated with. I know 99% of the time I don’t leave Hexbear.

      Rent free as usual.
