The communism isn’t the reason why hexbear sucks. Lemmygrad is way more communist than hexbear and their posts are fire.
The main issue with hexbear is that it’s full of white male ex-nazi converts who never recovered fully from their toxic past, mixed in with people who think listening to a podcast makes you a socialist. Their moderators are also douches who everyone is afraid of dealing with so even though there are a lot of very cool and reasonable people there, the stage is instead set by that small minority of uber toxic power users. You wouldn’t believe how many DMs I got from people thanking me for standing up for basic standards of decency because everyone else was too afraid to speak up for themselves, and ultimately it ended with one of the admins unceremoniously kicking me off of the site.
In short, it’s not the communism, I want you to analyze why you think that’s the reason and be prepared for an answer you won’t like.
