Can someone explain what the hell this instance is and why everyone cares? The whole conversation on both sides is so up its own ass that i have no context.
It's a website for chubby, hairy, gay witches. Hex bears if you will.
/ Serious head for a second.
Hexbear sprang from the banned r/chapotraphouse Reddit page, which had a reputation for responding to reactionaries trying to debate their views with mockery.
This made it a boogeyman on Reddit, where the overwhelming majority of users are the kinds of people who take umbrage at being told they're incorrect and/or uninformed on any subject.
Reddit exodus brought those users to Lemmy. Meanwhile, a subset of Hexbear users are nostalgic of what they see as the glory days of r/chapotraphouse and see federation as a chance to do that sort of stuff again.
