    The .worlders have been talking a lot of shit when it comes to .ml, but that sort of fearmongering also has the unintended effect of highlighting where the non lib-curated instances are in the most “a vote for bart is a vote for anarchy” way ever.

      Oh yeah I don’t fuck with .worlders. I just vaguely remember our instances butting heads at one point. Given how seriously hexbear takes its principles and purpose that doesn’t even really imply anything negative about the .ml userbase, it’s just different posting cultures. Or was. Shit even well meaning posters from here slip on banana peels ass first into posting whack shit.

      I like your observation about the knock-on effect of .world’s liberal pearl clutching helping to form a better counterculture on the other (good) instances though. I wonder if the reverse is in effect too and hexbear is helping set a good example? Just musing. I know our respective admin and mod teams work hard as fuck and communicate to keep this federation comfy and friendly.
