      The hive mind might already be here, depending on who you ask. I was already left/progressive, though, so it just feels like hanging out with like-minded people.

      Jerks I can do without, but they’re unavoidable. Simply not engaging with them seems to work best.

        I feel like to a point it might be, but to a point in today’s age and internet - everything is an echo chamber so it’s turned into a “pick ypur poison” kind of thing.

        That being said, open discourse and actual conversation seems more prevalent and easier to come by here then on reddit which is very nice.

          I think the different instances help with that, as it encourages at least some interaction outside of your direct bubble…

          That said when Hexbear re-enable federation I very much doubt “open discourse” or “actual conversation” will be the results

            Oh I hadn’t heard about that. Could you elaborate at all or point me in the direction of some more info?
