Like, we all know each other and have an ACTUAL COMMUNITY. Of course we do.
These liberals see each other as nothing, remember nobody, and build no unique culture of their own. They have no relationships with each other. They don’t get it. We actually like each other. I care about people here you liberal losers.
Liberals actually went along with Fukuyama’s “you will pay for your identity markers and you will like it” smugposting. It’s probably a part of why they tend to have walls of Funko Pops and need to tell you about the specific craft beer they sip while writing editorials.

I hate how this isn’t even a contrived stereotype anymore. Have literally met these types and it’s all they have to justify their “everyone’s experience is unique!” slogans
you see, consumption is actually identity. the more you consume, the more idententer you are. self-actualization means boxing yourself within the narrow confines of what brands want to sell to you. why yes, I am very smart.
@randint@lemm.ee I want you to read this.
You need to understand that we’ve all been here 3 years already, we know each other, care about each other, have a real community with a real unique culture forged through bonds and laughs and drama and dumb shit. We have an actual community, not just a bunch of people that don’t know each other who press updoot and downdoot and generally just see one another as faceless individuals. We trust each other and genuinely like each other.
I genuinely hope that you can create something like it and come to care about the other posters around you in time. You should try to. Build something more meaningful than a reddit clone where everyone treats everyone like a bunch of faceless anons, build a real community.
lol they chose instead to post this comment to someone who was arguing with me. I’m honored tbh
From what I’ve seen, there’s no real difference between lemmy.ml, lemm.ee, and lemmy.world. They’re all the same attempt at trying to be a Reddit clone with the same Reddit defaults as comms. If you merge all three instances together and merge the comms that they share, they would be absolutely zero difference. I guess lemmy.ml is lemm.ee with socialist characteristics while lemmy.world is lemm.ee with fascist characteristics. To me, the biggest difference between those instances is how they see us and whether they are federated with us.
There are definite differences.
Lemmy.ml has moderation that’s closer to the moderation here but without kicking people out for being libs. Hate is well moderated.
Lemm.ee is the closest to emulating reddit while remaining a real form of politically neutral. Hate is well moderated.
lemmy.world is emulating reddit, including its censorship of the left. Hate is badly moderated. Reports of actual transphobia go ignored.
Your “characteristics” assessment isn’t really that far off though. I am an advocate of lemm.ee and would prefer for it to become the largest. Lemmy.ml will become leftist in the longterm in my opinion, Hexbear influence is now very significant on it.
How “gated” is that community? As in: How hard would it be to grow into that community? If I migrated to hexbear, would I be treated with suspicion as an outsider, with wary indifference, or welcomed immediately?
The arguments and descriptors I see here are appealing, but I’ve just recently started using Lemmy and I’ve got this lingering sense of not belonging here (yet), hence ny insecurity.
So long as you follow the Hexbear party line you’ll be welcomed with open arms. All you have to do is be on the far left, don’t be sectarian, oppose the US and its propaganda, and love your trans comrades.
Oh, and don’t mention outdoor cats.
Ngl the quickest way to properly become part of the hexbear community in order of like, level of commitment required is probably to join, do like an intro post or something in c/chapotraphouse, maybe join the unofficial hexbear mastodon instance (toots.matapacos.dog) and maybe also like trans your gender or something
Also post and comment stuff ofc <3
