So what should I do with my account. Please help:((

Hexbear as a community was never going to leave. We almost lost our domain due to some silly bullshit but thankfully it didn't happen. Even if it had though, we were just looking at a name change, maybe becoming hexbear.ml (or something like that) or possibly rebranding as some other name entirely. But we were never just gonna cease to exist like it appears lemm.ee will.
That said, I am a little sad lemm.ee is going. It may have had its share of asshole users, but there were(are) definitely some cool people on it too. And whatever anyone can say about it negatively, lemm.ee is a hundred times better than fucking .world. My god THAT instance is a cesspit. .World is vehemently, aggressively trying to be reddit 2.0 along with all that implies including amplifying everything that makes reddit a shit website and corrosive lie of "community." Lemm.ee may have had its issues, but if nothing else, it was a solid alternative to .world and that alone is enough to make me sad to see it go. There are even a couple users on it that I hope to see make an account on hexbear and plenty of others that would fit on .ml or one of the the other more generic instances.
Edited to fix typing mistakes.

oh no an instance literally indistinguishable from just like plain fucking reddit is gone, whatever will we do
anyway,
So why did you guys federate with it?
-
isn't there like 26 more days to go?
Yeah, but there's no point in continuing to use it at this point.

It will be a truly sad day if hexbear disappears. It's nice to have all the toxicity in a single, easily blocked instance.
I'm joking of course, ml and lemmygrad also need the same treatment.
-
to be fair, in my experance outside of .ml .ee was one of the least toxic general instance around, and I am worried .world the most toxic one I experence, will grow
.ml is way more toxic than .world.

I'll be honest i don't get what people differentiate so much about instances. most of the time i don't even notice what instance people I'm talking to are from, what instance the community in browsing is from, what instance the meme I'm viewing is from... is it about the software you're using that you're so aware of these things?

ee shouldve blocked the triad of exremism. ml, hexbear, lemmygrad.

If your display settings don't show the full username, there's no way to tell really. Voyager and Alexandrite show then by default. I think people just like to root for teams inherently and the interinstance drama is kind of fun.
If you're on Lemmy a lot you start to recognize people and their main instance, there really aren't that many of us. -
Wherever you guys migrate, please stop concentrating the userbase around lemmy.world, that's exactly what we're trying to avoid with Lemmy to begin with. The best thing you can do is go to https://join-lemmy.org/ and choose a server that's not in the top 10 or so. This will also help avoid things like the admins/mods burning out

To me, it's mostly how an instance is ran. How it makes its decisions: defederating or not, and with whom, how they handle complaints, how they handle bans, etc. makes a difference in both the communities it hosts and its members.
There's also the matter of user culture. Some instances, like Beehaw, Lemmygrad, and Hexbear are known for a certain user culture. Some users might steer clear away from certain instances because of that perceived user culture.
And then there's the issue of defederation stance. It might not be readily apparent, or affect your user experience in a big way, but for some users, it's a factor. This is also where lemm.ee made its mark. It basically used defederation as a last resort, and some users were drawn to that.

Yeah, the instances that are most dedicated to fighting fascism and providing a safe space for lgbtqi+ and other marginalized groups are the "toxic" ones. Those are the instances that need to be contained so you can block them, huh? HMMMMMM....
-
wqhats the matter hexbear user, not good enough for your circle jerking chambers.
lol it's so funny to accuse Hexbear of being a circle jerk when we are the ones that made all the reddit-like instances mald and defederate us the second they were exposed to perspectives that aren't even exclusive to communists, but are widely held across the global South.

hey buddy, sorry we're too cool for you. believing in things is cringe (it's extremism to call out other people for supporting genocide)

Everyone knows that's not true. It's laughable you even claim that. But keep trying to push that narrative anyways.
-
Yeah, but there's no point in continuing to use it at this point.
Personally I disagree. Now would be the time to go into posting overdrive and really let the instance go out with a real bang.
