Let’s hope so.

I am seeing slow and steady growth in the areas I follow.

Blocked.

No.

It’s not.

Hexbear is the largest communist Lemmy instance. Avoid them like the plague they are.

Lemmy is fantastic as long as you avoid hexbear and that ilk.

Lemmy is amazing. I am so glad I found my way here. I was doom scrolling as well. I had to unsubscribe from all my political communities I had joined and just keep one of my news committees. I then expanded the groups for my other interests. This really helped. You are in control of your time line here.

hexbear is true garbage.

Beehaw is not worth the effort. Their audience is way too sensitive to participate with any reasonable level of social interaction. You will live on eggshells if you wish to participate there,

They are just two different servers. Lemmy.World is one of the really big ones. I had an account there but because of the size there were a lot of performance issues. I would recommend you join one of the smaller servers like sh.itjust.works. You have access to almost all the same information on the Fediverse.

There is no real safe place. You need a platform that allows you to moderate it down to a place you can live with.

Always great to see people finding a home here.

Just imagine the surprise when a new user is placed in hexbear or one of the porn servers.

Hexbear is just as toxic as ml. They will bait you to comment on topics and then remove your comments if they don’t like them. Just a terrible group of people.

Yes avoid .ml and hexbear and life is mostly good here.

I have found Lemmy the most interactive of all the social networks I am a part of. It is my main home now.

Do not participate with Hexbear. It and a large portion of their members are nothing but trolls.

Blue sky leads to the same trap Twitter was. A place that will be purchased by some asshole that shits on everyone for money.

Moved here and never looked back.
