Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

I haven't really seen any of that but then again I've only been on that site for a few weeks, they do seem significantly meaner than here
I remember a post talking about federation with us and one comment (person 1) was saying they should just absorb our community completely. Someone (person 2) responded with basically "yeah they are probably not willing to do that" and gave a few examples pertaining to they difference is drama levels.
Que persona 2 getting Rabbidly attacked by person 1 in a very long comment chain that was literally the perfect example as to why we would want to stay separate. I didn't go back to Hexbear for a long while after that.
I once caught a back and forth like that. It was all about lemmy devs not wanting to implement hexbear's gender pronouns on avatars. It was a completely pointless discussion where one person was convinced that lemmy is run by bigots.
One of the things I dislike about hexbear is how US-centric people on there tend to be. Sometimes I feel like I'm on reddit due to the amount of identity politics, pop culture references and hyper-specific memes that only someone from the Empire would really get.
They better not absorb us, I don't even understand why they think we would even want that to happen in the first place!
Our admins will ban people like person 1 im not too worried
They basically quashed the one example I gave a year ago. Anyone who disagreed with their point of view has been banned, driven away, or learned to keep quiet on them.
They're better than 99% of reddit on everything including especially imperialism but there are moments where significant parts of their user-base just kind of veer off far away from any DiaMat, principled ML views into western leftism shall we say. I don't foresee major issues but definitely there could be a few points rare to come up that absolutely blow up into shit-storms between us and them and we'll just have to agree to disagree and ask them to respect our rules. On the whole it should be nice and infuse some more life and activity into lemmygrad.
Thanks for the insight!
