Hexbear and lemmygrad. Hexbear is one of the largest lemmy instances and it's a pit.

So two specific instances? I wouldn't say it's "huge swaths". I never visit those instances so never saw anything posted there.

Two of the top ten largest instances... something like a good 10-20% of Lemmy users are full on fascists with a hard on for making other people's lives miserable. You being ignorant of it doesn't make it untrue.

Cool, my question is how do you keep finding this fascists content? I don't see it when I click on 'all' (and obviously I'm not subscribed there). Is it because you're on a different instance? Is my instance not federated with those fascists? Or do you simply keep going there to see what the fascists are up to?

You want me to figure your life out for you or is this a passive aggressive thing?

[–] ExLisper@linux.community 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, I don't want you to tell me how to find fascist content. I'm asking how do you find it. Is it mixed with all the other content when you're browsing lemmy or do you search for it?

[–] fkn@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Neither. I picked an instance that is defederated from it. It wasn't at first and it was mixed into everything.
