Hexbear.net (currently chapo.chat) is good, if you’re a Communist or Anarchist. What kind of interests do you have? Dbzer0 has a bunch of great piracy resources, as an example.
That’s not what I was implying, historically “Communist” has been used for Marxists. Anarcho-Communism is only one type of Anarchist, there are Anarcho-Syndicalists, Anarcho-Primitivists, etc, meanwhile Marxism is always Communist.
Anarchists and Marxists do want different end-results, Anarchists want full decentralization and Marxists want full centralization and democratization, but are aligned in opposition to Capitalism and Imperialism and wish to create a more just and equitable society for all.
Well, if you mean genuine marxists, then yes. But many non-marxist, non-communist groups call themselves marxists, such as Stalinists, who argue for Socialism In One Country against Marx’s advice. You’ve got to look out for those.
Socialism in One Country isn’t against Marx at all. The argument between Socialism in One Country and Permanent Revolution was whether it was worth building up Socialism while also supporting global revolution, or devote all resources to global revolution and give up on Socialism until then. Permanent Revolution ended up being generally wrong, and depended on the Peasantry being incapable of genuine alliance with the Proletariat, which was wrong.
Genuinely, what do you think Socialism in One Country means to where it goes against Marx? Communism must be global, but Socialism begins with the Proletariat taking control.
Surely it’s only a good instance if you’re happy with a much less federated experience, to say nothing of the usual complaints people have of hexbear users.
There are some instances that defederated from Hexbear, but largely instances like Lemmy.world. Hexbear is active enough on its own, federation is just a bonus.
Looks like the nice people, the canadians, the LGBT, the trans people, the furries, the new zealanders, the programmers, the germans, and the environmentalists defederated with Hexbear, in terms of instances that have a strong theming. The only common trend I can identify between those groups is that they all tend left of center. Except perhaps the germans, given current events.
So when you said “instances like Lemmy.world”, did you mean leftists?
Ah, so you mean that many right wing instances are deferated, and ALSO the queers, the trans people, and the furries. Interesting. If both the left and the right are opposed to Hexbear, that would logically suggest Hexbear is centrist.
Hexbear defederated from Blahaj because Blahaj protected chaser mods that were targeting Hexbear users, and because Blahaj is hostile to Marxists. Hexbear is one of the most trans and queer friendly instances on Lemmy. It seems more like you’re trying to make the argument that queer people can’t disagree with each other, and to do so is right wing? I dunno, it’s a silly argument.
I’m on lemm.ee! It seems to have a good balance of users and sensible defederation. On mobile, the app you use make a world of a difference too. Both Jerboa and Thunder (Android) were mid tier experiences, but now I’m using Boost and it’s phenomenal!
Which instance are you using? I’ve been using world since start, but open to others. Never really looked into it too much.

What a clever way to say anarchists aren’t communists. I’m proud of you, tankie. You guys are always so subtle.

Loads of instances do not federate with hexbear.

I’m curious why you said “instances like Lemmy.world”

Not at all, I mean generally right-wing liberal instances. Many Leftist or general instances are federated with Hexbear, like Mander or Lemm.ee.
We could go into the reasons for defederation, if you want.

Hexbear’s transphobia has been very well documented.

EE is nice. They won’t defederate with just about anyone. But so far the mod assholery has been minimal.
