Hexbear's a years-old instance, we've developed a solid culture and genuinely care for one another, pseudoanonymity notwithstanding. We're good people and better posters imo

Check out the News Megathread. There's a huge amount of analysis and discussion about current events in those threads, going back years and years. There's shitposts, too, but we've got a huge body of analysis backed up with the best sources we can find, often dealing with important local, national, and geopolitical issues from a very different perspective than major media outlets and western governments. It can give you a lot of ammo to back up your points in disscussions of current events. And even if you don't agree with some of it, you can look at the sources folks are pulling from and use those to test and reinforce your own positions.

I subscribed to most of your communities just to get more exposed to content from ML perspective. As much as I also love Lemmygrad, they don't (yet) have the sheer number of people. I want the few hours/week I spend on Lemmy to be both entertainment and enlightening, and from what I've seen the content you guys put up has plenty of both~
