If so, was it polled somewhere?

    honestly it’s a pretty friendly instance all told, we just have p strong feelings about politics and bigotry

    and admittedly a lot of us have little patience for the worst among you bc we deal with that shit permeating society at every level on a constant basis

      hey ditto! i have very little patience for the worst among you, because when i look through comment sections looking for discourse i instead see you fuckers starting the same 5 arguments.

      also, coincidentally, i see a lot of folks from marginalized groups specifically complaining about y’all being insensitive and shitty. it’s hard to respect what you say your motives are when your camp is acting like it is.

        Really? cause when I look through comment sections it’s always liberals spewing the same fucking lines, and acting like everyone they disagree with can’t possibly also be from marginalized groups. (In fact most seem to take the fact that you disagree with them as prima facie evidence that you can’t be from a marginalized group!)

        The amount of casual misogyny, racism, and generally sickening comments I’ve seen has shot through the roof since we federated, and it’s exclusively been coming from lemmitors.

        If this is how you initiate discussion - with hostility - then that experience does not surprise me. Consider being less shitty yourself.

        also, coincidentally, i see a lot of folks from marginalized groups specifically complaining about y’all being insensitive and shitty. it’s hard to respect what you say your motives are when your camp is acting like it is.

        I find that very hard to believe. The websites modteam is majority LGBTQ+ we have a diverse group of users, and this is because the mod team takes bigotry very seriously. If you see any bigoted takes please report them, and also please give me some examples of this from hexbear users.
