See this post (chapo.chat is an alternate domain name for Hexbear).

Hexbear also has an official Mastodon account, where admins post updates. You can append .rss to the URL to get an RSS feed.

The lack of warning when they knew of this issue well ahead of time, the lack of accountability after it happened, and the lack of clear information have frankly undermined my trust in Hexbear's moderation team. Ultimately I still favor Hexbear's culture over Lemmygrad's, and don't know how much more trustworthy the admins here are, though.

Agreed. It'd probably take a full changeover of the admin team to give me any confidence that if something is wrong someone will say something... But even opening the door to possible cyberattack and doxxing of comrades is always going to be a stain on the website for me. I've been on from day 1 but I question if I will continue with the site after this -- not that it really matters if I'm there lol but still

Really malicious negligence by the admin team against the community

For a while I've fantasized about starting a new Lemmy instance, which would be either an Esperanto or Norwegian language equivalent to Hexbear. When I've spoken to comrades about this they've been interested but said they didn't have the resources for it. Depending on how the coming weeks play out I might have to adopt a Pippi Longstocking mindset on this matter...

I'm glad to have both.

There are certain times I just need to be with other ML's but lemmygrad is admittedly small and therefore limited in the amount of discussion a post gets as well as how many topics are posted and it's nice to have a bigger community even if it's less laser-aligned with my philosophy on all aspects and at times has a culture I need a breather from for a few minutes despite overall liking it. I enjoy community events like movie nights that you have over there a great deal and I think it's a very good thing.

The admins as a whole I cannot say. The head admin, the owner is a main lemmy dev and I also know them from reddit where they were consistently a poster with principled, quality effort years before I ever heard of this place or lemmy was really even publicly known at all. So I trust the top admin here quite a bit, if they dipped out the whole lemmyverse would notice and ideologically I trust them to an incredible amount.
