      Hexbear is openly communist, it doesn’t “try to sound cute to trick people.” That’s genuinely the community, tons of queer communists.

      Fyi, you might to clarify that new users should avoid hexbear and lemmygrad.

      If someone only skims through the comments, yours can read as an endorsement, especially since the user you replied to had endorsements at the top of their comment

        If people are communists, I see no reason why they should avoid the communist instances. If you don’t like communists, wouldn’t you rather they be in instances you’re defederated with or can easily block? People can decide for themselves if they want to stay or not after checking an instance.
