    If they join another instance, they will not benefit from as much local support, the social pressure will eventually discourage them, and they will probably just go back to using only their local bubble.

      Their time in isolation from when reddit banned chapo did them no favors. When it was banned it was a flavor of radicalism that was tolerable.

      They’ve devolved into something much worse, in the style of the red guard in China killing avowed communists for not being communist enough, and thinking it’s a good thing. They’re just screaming into the void making all leftists look unreasonable and bad, and wondering why no one can stand them.

      I’ve yet to have an interaction with someone from hexbear post reddit exodus where I thought to myself, “you know I bet they’re pretty chill in real life.”
