Why does such a large portion of lemm.ee want to block hexbear.net? And, how can Hexbearians improve?
Any political stance that's not progressive, socialist, or communist hive-mind is not really welcome on Lemmy it seems. I'll engage in more friendly places on the internet.

to save us all the time, we had this discussion a month ago, in which is OPs first interaction with our instance.
This post feels like bait tbh

feel like shit rn
