Wow, things have changed since I last posted in /c/fediverse. Here are the top five most active instances based on monthly active users:
Lemmy.world blocks piracy
Ez win for lemm.ee
I wish lemm.ee would block Hexbear. Fuck capitalism, but those people are nuts. They make MAGAts look good.
EDIT: I used to be an active member of /r/LateStageCapitalism until I left reddit for good, but go ahead and keep assuming things about me.
no we don’t, you’re just mad you aren’t the noblest position possible and you lash out at us when we critique you from the left.
“I’m all for socialism as long as it looks and feels just like capitalism and all the inhuman death and killing that comes along with it because at my heart I’m a selfish self centered lib who is quite happy to see minorities and working class people domestically and abroad killed to maintain my cushy standard of living. Read a book and learn what actual socialism and leftism means? No chance, I use my paper thin knowledge of politics and my middle of the road positions to impress whoever listens to me because I know nobody cares enough to Google why I’m a liar when I talk about politics, and demonising actual leftists as extremists gives my vapid centrist soc dem takes more clout with everyone huffed up on anti communism and crypto fascism these days. Sadly for me hexbear do know more than me and call me out for being the bloodthirsty callous lib I am and it makes me piss my pants and cry when it happens because I don’t want to take any social responsibility for the exploitation i benefit from waah”
Or something to that effect.
Uh no. Quit putting words in my mouth.
See my reply to the person you just replied to, cause I don’t feel like typing this shit out twice.
Lmao no
But you expect everyone to read your bullshit (which I did BTW). Hypocrite.

yeah magat… what trump supporters want universal healthcare, decommodification of housing, defunding the police, defunding the military, open borders, free college, and to send american war criminals to stand trial at the hague or in the countries they committed their crimes against?
how illiterate do you have to be to hear what socialists want and think “yeah they support trump”?
Uh what? I have no idea what any of that means.
I just don’t like Hexbear cause they claim to be communists yet constantly talk shit about liberals. Only MAGAts and Hexbear users hate liberals.
I miss /r/LateStageCapitalism, a community made of actual communist liberals, unlike Hexbear which is just full of rage baiting trolls. But I’ll never go back to reddit again.
“Communist liberal” is incoherent nonsense. Liberalism is a capitalist ideology that promotes private ownership of the means of production, communism subsequently doesn’t, they are contradictory ideologies.
Liberalism is a capitalist ideology that promotes private ownership of the means of production
Absolutely false. It espouses private ownership. This can mean your own clothes, your own phone, your own computer, your own house, your own sentimental belongings, instead of everything being communally shared.
It is possible for the means of production, like factories, to be communally owned, while still allowing for small personal private ownership. You can strike a balance between liberalism and private ownership, and communism and communal ownership.
It’s not a black and white binary choices between “everything is private” and “everything is communal”.
Things are not so black and white. It’s possible to like ideas from both sides, without having to fully subscribe to a single idealogy.
There is no third way in this context, either you want workers to own the means of production or you want Capitalists to. Liberals want Capitalists to, and some liberals want Capitalists to own less, but see no overall problem with the current relationship between workers and their exploited labor. Communists want workers to own the means of production by contrast, these are opposing ideologies.
:pigpoop: :LIB:
It’s funny how for those who Hexbear is to their left, always use the critique of “they’re crazy” then compare us to right wingers without fail.
Absolutely no actual critique and the typical liberal understanding of politics that “there are only two teams, and if you’re not on mine then you’re on theirs”
Please read a book
I’ve seen posts of Hexbears saying they’ll vote for Trump, with no pushback from anyone else.
I had a Hexbear today tell me that it’s okay that Russian soldiers rape women and children in Ukraine because ML’s support violence for their cause and that’s just how it is.
It’s a small minority of Hexbears who hold abhorrent positions, but the rest of Hexbears tolerate them.
Does that particular Hexbear know that raping is wrong?
What I suspect the Hexbear will tell you is that NATO has committed large scale crimes and NATO soldiers have also raped women, you just won’t hear about it on western media because it doesn’t fit their imperialist propaganda narrative.
That’s when you need to bring out the big eye roll emojis
🙄
I wish it didn’t block them. I can block individual instances and the instance of commenters is in plain view, just block them as you encounter them if they come of as too strong. They have some decent communities where sometimes there’s interesting things to read. Basically only some of the LGTB ones but yeah.

Bigot
No, not really. You guys have just made it insanely easy to identify yourselves. I always double check to make sure it’s hexbear.net, don’t worry.
That’s very open minded of you. Thank u
Nah bro you’re a bigot. I regret starting this discussion.
let’s go jackass
😔
Dude no
You are indeed a simple man.
There’s quite a few instances with pronouns, which is great.
Hexbear stands out to me for using double sets of pronouns, presumably because twice as many pronouns means you’re twice as progressive, and therefore twice as superior to people with only one set of pronouns.
And also blocks the word “faggot”.
Try it if you don’t believe me and have a Lemmy.world account.

How exactly is “active” measured?
Logged in? Commenting? Posting? Net time spent on Lemmy?
I feel like the metrics need to be a bit more refined to actually make a qualified statement.
I cross posted this because I felt like it somehow belonged here. Now I see your point, I look at the site and nothing state how are computed the metrics, this should be clarified in my opinion (now the stat site is open source so you can check yourself if you want).
Oh I didn’t mean to criticise you posting it, just wanted to question the source. Sorry if it came across that way.
No issues at all :)
it’s just active user metrics, otherwise hexbear is top of the charts
I switched off of world because I got tired of my feed only working about 30% of the time. It had been extremely normal, to the point where I can’t recall the last bit of downtime. Don’t underestimate the ability to actually view content on lemmy as a driving factor here…
What happened to beehive or whatever?
Didn’t they defederate from some large instances until they get better moderation tools?
No idea. Would that make them no longer a node?
They are on the federation, and lemm.ee is still federated with them. They defederated from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works because they’re a bit particular and didn’t have the mod tools they wanted. They were never federated with hexbear.
predicatble: lemm.ee is reliable: on the other hand shi.tjust.doesn’t.work, and feddit.de has that walled garden beehaw vibe to it (tight moderation). i would predict discuss.tchncs.de would grow if it maintains good uptime record. also external factors could affect ranking like legal prosecutions when caching illegal content and ddos’es, like the other instances cant do much about those either
sh.it works pretty well for me
Yeah I’m a fellow sh.ithead and we had one big outage but otherwise it’s been pretty reliable.
A solid instance for sure! My go to.

It’s so stable that I didn’t even know it was popular.
I migrated from lemm.ee a little while ago. I really liked it, but it got too popular and I’m hipster. So I gotta be unique with my new cool club instance, literature.cafe
Are Beehaw and Hexbear counted too? I feel like they probably would appear before feddit.de but maybe I am wrong.
hexbear has ~1k users per month. we top the charts in comment volume but not users.
Interesting
That’s pretty much where we used to be on Reddit, like ~100k users, but top 20 most active or something like that lol
I think it’s really cool that feddit.de has that much activity, I expected it to be far smaller than many others!
