The few conversations I've had there have been unproductive and inflammatory. While even in other instances when I've said something someone disagreed with they would at least support their statement. Also no one would tell me why the "Confused Unga Bunga" meme is racist but they keep accusing me of it. I'm all for open discussions but even the comments there are so angry and toxic.

Edit: I'm reading every comment and taking everything people said and considering all sides. My stance on the phrase has changed but I am still hesitant about giving hexbear a chance. I'll sleep on it though.

If you agree with them ideologically and like their type of inflammatory behavior, then yeah. For me personally, their constant focus on politics and debate was exhausting mentally, so I ended up blocking the instance as a whole on my end until my instance defederated from them. I mean no hate for the people there, but for me personally, it just felt like a place to go if you want to feel angry all the time, and I'd rather not be
