The biggest surprise for me was the https://hexbear.net count, an instance I hardly interact with.

    This reads like someone telling me that the nazi bar is the only place to go because the nazi bar has people there all the time and the other bars are mostly empty.

      Cool. Being trans, not tolerating transphobia, and having emotes is comparable to being nazis?

      Also, not suggesting people need to go there because its active. I could go to traa, egg, mtf, agender, enby, etc on reddit, but I don’t want to use reddit and a lot of those communities make hexbear look tame in terms of spamminess and immaturity.

      Did you know: you know you can just say you didn’t read the comment?

      It’d be much faster and way easier on everyone else to know to discard your input!
