There's also other chromium browsers with built-in ad-blocking that still work AFAIK. If all extensions and forked brower's ad-blockers stopped working, I think there would probably be a surge in firefox usage (even if there's not that much change in chromium usage).

Cool. Being trans, not tolerating transphobia, and having emotes is comparable to being nazis?
Also, not suggesting people need to go there because its active. I could go to traa, egg, mtf, agender, enby, etc on reddit, but I don't want to use reddit and a lot of those communities make hexbear look tame in terms of spamminess and immaturity.
Games is the largest games com by far in terms of posts and comments (150k comments and 15k post vs 71k comments and 3k posts on lemmy world..
News has most posts than any other news and about as many comments as lemmyworld.
Politics has the most posts of any politics coms, but far less comments than lemmyworld's.
History basically has no competitors (150k comments vs 7k for the next largest)
Movies also has no competitors (75k comments vs 9k for the next largest).
Videos has 56k comments vs lemmyworld's 13k
Music has 45k comments vs lemmyworld's 6k
Urbanism has 44k comments vs fuckcar's 19k
Granted, given Hexbear has been around for 4 years, the number of comments/posts is largely a side effect of age. But it also means calling them duplicates is probably misleading. OTOH, the main trans community there has been very active recently, dwarfing all other trans communities combined.
And is there any reason behind the name? A bear, but hexagon shaped, is their mascot.
Isn't your instance federated with hexbear? Seems like it hardly blocks any lemmy instances.
I'm subscribed to pretty much all the trans coms I know of and traa is 90% of the trans content that shows up. Another 5% are other hexbear trans subs. Traa has as many comments in half a month as mtf@blajah has had in its entire existance and as many in a week as trans@blahaj has made in total (the two largest non-hexbear trans subs afaik).
Not really surprising. 10 out of the 10 most commented posts in the past year are on hexbear (the top 2 being the weekly trans mega threads). Granted, a lot of that is just the hyper-active posting of a few users. Regardless, if you want a trans community, there's basically no active alternative to hexbear's traaa here.
Never tried one. Never seen them offered anywhere around here, but I also don't each out much. They do seem like a pretty bad idea; I'd just use a reusable straw if I used straws frequently.
Don’t seem like good people to me.
That's a foregone conclusion for any billionaire.
But what if you're a POC and a billionaire who believes Trump will make you wealthier?
At least my parents won't vote republican because of homophobia. They're convinced dems will take all their money to give to immigrants and black people and force them to use paper straws...
And if you drive slow enough for deer, you should be more than slow enough for buggies.
I just listened to a rugrats song yesterday though.
