Just wanted to share a thread for those who don’t regularly venture out of the bear site. Can’t cross-post since it’s defederated. It’s small but has some numbers about community counts, active users, etc and links to more info from https://lemmyverse.net/. Thought it was notable that Hexbear shows up no matter how you sort it.
OP image is community count sorted by active users in the last month.
Edit: sorted by comments
My favorite thing is them believing that everyone from Russia or China must have hated it there, and while there are some expats that are like that, most of the ones I’ve met (outside of Indians) really like or miss their country of origin. I’m not saying they are perfect (far from it) but they seem like no more totalitarian hellholes than the U.S.
Also you are talking to ex pats and emigrants who are predisposed to disliking their home country.
All the Chinese people who really like China stay there and don’t go on the English speaking internet to argue
TBH I know a number that sneak through the firewall to troll westerners, they’re pretty cool. Some don’t want to visit here tho cause the firewall blocks this domain. Maybe if someone reopens chapo chat and puts a Chinese interface on it we’d get a lot like that
I know some trans Chinese commies too
An infusion of Chinese shitposters would definitely be a nice boost to our posting powers
Importing Gojo-tier shitposters to change the very world of political shitposting
This would be pretty easy I think, seeing as we already have next.hexbear.net
Yea some people were trying to change the next domain to something like next.chapo.chat for the chinese users but it still needs some work
