They aren’t all that bad honestly. I find lemmyml to actually be worse. Lemmyml has some bad eggs.

Hexbear is weird but in general they tend to be fairly civil. Can’t say that for much else regarding tankies.

Edit:

I’m kind of wrong. They reason I said this was that I’ve seen normal discussion and even helpful comments from some hexbear users. However, it looks like they were just a sliver of civil in the greater hexbear circlejerk.
