I signed up for hexbear out of morbid curiosity, that place feels like an insane asylum.

I was banned there as well, although maybe the ban is gone with the domain drama. It's their instance, they should run it how they want.

It's a site by and for Communists and a safe space for queer users, it isn't that complicated. I'd also recommend not calling it an insane asylum, as @OpheliaAzure@lemmy.blahaj.zone said it has one of the biggest trans userbases on Lemmy and that's frequently used as a transphobic insult, not to mention the ableism.

I've been forced to stay at an insane asylum, I was only going based off my prior experiences is all, had no idea about the trans thing.

Fair enough, but I think you should just take care with that. Do a bit more research before jumping to insults that can be damaging to people's gender identity.

calling an instance with a large amount of trans people an "insane asylum" is such a telling thing. Go back to reddit you abelist transphobe
