We haven’t coordinated anything with the mods from there and they are squarely focusing on getting people into the lifeboat over at https://lemmygrad.ml/c/GenZedong. However, you are more than welcome to hang around. A lot of us have accounts for Lemmy as well as Hexbear since Hexbear does not yet federate with Lemmy (although that project is under way).
An importance difference in site cultures to keep in mind is that we don’t allow sectarianism. If you want to dunk on anarchists, you need to take that elsewhere (or just refrain since anarchists are comrades too). If you want to dunk on liberals, !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net is full of all the cringy Twitter screenshots your heart could ever desire. We also have !memes@hexbear.net, !chapotraphouse@hexbear.net, and !sino@hexbear.net, which should have some overlap with /r/GZD. Our !genzedong@hexbear.net comm was also recently unlocked by one of your moderators.
Happy lurking; Furious posting,

First
When will the :1984: stuff end?!
Idk why, but for some reason when I got to the “no sectarianism” I thought of that satirical song “National Brotherhood Week” and instead of “and everybody hates the Jews!” it’s “and everyone dunks on the Trots!”
Yes please. We welcome all comrades but please keep your sectarianism against other leftist tendencies away from Hexbear.
what’s the difference between hexbear and lemmygrad?
hexbear we try to be anti-sectarian (although imo leans very ML) while lemmygrad is more ML specific
pretty much dunking on anarchists is looked down upon here, while that stuff is okay over on lemmygrad
thank you for a detailed answer! I like the lack of shitflinging here so I will probably not explore lemmygrad
I’m glad you like it here! We worked through some of the worst struggle sessions early on and at this point have a very supportive community. The lack of shitslinging is nice, especially after coming from a place like reddit.
Unfortunately, the person you’re responding to is someone here to pick old dumb fights.
To answer your question, I would say that this place is much less transphobic than the rest of the internet end doesn’t tolerate undermining of our trans comrades, which is a very good thing. Happy to elaborate if you want to know more!
