Hexbear.net (currently chapo.chat) is good, if you're a Communist or Anarchist. What kind of interests do you have? Dbzer0 has a bunch of great piracy resources, as an example.

a Communist or Anarchist

What a clever way to say anarchists aren't communists. I'm proud of you, tankie. You guys are always so subtle.

That's not what I was implying, historically "Communist" has been used for Marxists. Anarcho-Communism is only one type of Anarchist, there are Anarcho-Syndicalists, Anarcho-Primitivists, etc, meanwhile Marxism is always Communist.

Anarchists and Marxists do want different end-results, Anarchists want full decentralization and Marxists want full centralization and democratization, but are aligned in opposition to Capitalism and Imperialism and wish to create a more just and equitable society for all.

Loads of instances do not federate with hexbear.

Surely it's only a good instance if you're happy with a much less federated experience, to say nothing of the usual complaints people have of hexbear users.

There are some instances that defederated from Hexbear, but largely instances like Lemmy.world. Hexbear is active enough on its own, federation is just a bonus.

I'm on lemm.ee! It seems to have a good balance of users and sensible defederation. On mobile, the app you use make a world of a difference too. Both Jerboa and Thunder (Android) were mid tier experiences, but now I'm using Boost and it's phenomenal!

EE is nice. They won't defederate with just about anyone. But so far the mod assholery has been minimal.
