      The flood has started below. And indeed it is a bunch of @lemmy.ml, surprising nobody.

        There was one when I looked before. Oh wow there’s… more than one now. 😵‍💫

      Then that would be .ml users. Semantics yes, but considering that .world never federated with Hexbear, I feel it relevant for accurately describing things.

        hexbear.net is known for discussion of what goes on in the rest of the Fediverse (I went and found a recent example to show you: hexbear.net/post/3645205). Whereupin people with accounts that are able to often brigade places that if we take the narrowest view of who “hexbear” users are, they would not have access to. It just goes with the territory of (a) being passionate about a subject, along with (b) caring not in the slightest bit about the consent of the recipients.

        I myself have multiple alts, and went to some trouble to ensure that it is barely recognizable which I am using (identical name and icon). I started on Kbin, and before it went defunct it got slower and slower so I switched to StarTrek, but it got slow for a bit too so now I made my final home on Discuss.Online. And when possible I will love to try out Sublinks, and probably I’ll try Piefed too then.

        If someone switches from their hexbear.net account, where they heard about this post, to their Lemmy.ml one for the express purpose to downvoting and trolling this post with their “commentary”, I would call those hexbear users. If you read hexbear posts, it won’t be all that long before you find people not only admitting but being outright proud of doing precisely that. Here’s a very tame one to get you started: hexbear.net/post/272530, here’s another: hexbear.net/post/277508, and another: hexbear.net/post/280770, and there are links from there and available by searching.

      I was duped into believing .ml was a tech oriented instance when I joined Lemmy.

      Where should I go instead? I don’t really care about my local instance, I usually browse All
