The first 6-12 months here (during/right after the Reddit API drama) were great. After that....not so much.

I'm a reddit refugee
from 2023,
but my original instance lemm.ee
has become history
There, only hexbear banned me
which actually means I'm decent, you see?
Wait a second. You got banned from Reddit two years ago. Then you got onto lemm.ee and then immediately started shitposting in hexbear. Got banned, went back to lemm.ee, tanked that community through abuse and neglect. And had to migrate to... cracypeople.online?
And the problem is with... everyone else?
Is there reason to assume the hexbear “offense” was bad faith and they contributed to lemm.ee’s decline.
Hexbear can ban you for not thinking Russia is doing good by invading ukraine. So I wouldn’t take a Hexbear ban very seriously.
Hexbear is only a problem for Lemm.ee users if those users actually want to post there. Which is weird, because I keep hearing about how much they hate Hexbear and don't want to post there.
Lemm.ee, on the other hand, was so toxic that even its own admins and moderates abandoned the project. They burned their own instance down because they hated one another too much.
you would be a great fit for Hexbear with that high quality revisionism
Hexbear users routinely cause strife in other instances' comms just because they criticize the ML regimes they support.
On my lemm.ee account I just kinda joined a hexbear conversation from /all without realising it was hexbear and got downvoted to hell and banned for being vaguely anti-authoritarian.
