The first 6-12 months here (during/right after the Reddit API drama) were great. After that....not so much.

I'm a reddit refugee
from 2023,
but my original instance lemm.ee
has become history
There, only hexbear banned me
which actually means I'm decent, you see?
i avoided those instances, after i heard how bad they were accidentally engaging in thier posts, they rubbed the wrong way so i blocked them before could recieve a ban from them.
Are we the same person? I was on lemon.ee for a month before it shut down. Then actually jumped to another account after hexbear when I started to find out more about them.
I want this read at my funeral
I'll try to stop by?
Wait a second. You got banned from Reddit two years ago. Then you got onto lemm.ee and then immediately started shitposting in hexbear. Got banned, went back to lemm.ee, tanked that community through abuse and neglect. And had to migrate to... cracypeople.online?
And the problem is with... everyone else?
Is there reason to assume the hexbear “offense” was bad faith and they contributed to lemm.ee’s decline.
Hexbear can ban you for not thinking Russia is doing good by invading ukraine. So I wouldn’t take a Hexbear ban very seriously.
Hexbear is only a problem for Lemm.ee users if those users actually want to post there. Which is weird, because I keep hearing about how much they hate Hexbear and don't want to post there.
Lemm.ee, on the other hand, was so toxic that even its own admins and moderates abandoned the project. They burned their own instance down because they hated one another too much.
On my lemm.ee account I just kinda joined a hexbear conversation from /all without realising it was hexbear and got downvoted to hell and banned for being vaguely anti-authoritarian.
you would be a great fit for Hexbear with that high quality revisionism
Hexbear users routinely cause strife in other instances' comms just because they criticize the ML regimes they support.
I was never banned from reddit. I left due to the decisions of their management, mostly regarding 3rd party app api connectivity, but also their decisions regarding the content of the users and Ai scraping, and related to singular governing structure.
I've not been a shit poster that I'm aware of, I think I was banned for disagreeing with their ...slightly awkward... political leanings.
your comments about tanking the community are empty and seem to be a juvenile attempt to illicit some dumb troll emotional response. lol @ you.
I love how you made up an entire false origin story out of four select words.
They didn't say they got banned, only that they're a refugee from there.
