      maybe, but there were constant posts everywhere about defederating hexbear and massive threads of hexbear users fighting liberals that dwarfed anything grad did when the migration happen. what I am saying it went from what, a 1 to 80 when genzedong happened and from a 50 to 200 when hexbear joined

        Yeah, the last line is essentially what I was trying to say about underselling the impact of starting points. Just looking at outcomes the scale makes you think the second should be more drastic, but when you also consider the context of what the community was beforehand it’s factor of eighty vs a factor of four.

          i mean I might be underselling how much hexbears impact was. like, everytime any thread mentioned hexbear they blew the fuck up, i forgot about this one and found it in the linked thread but lemm.ee had one that got like 1300 comments and like 900+ of them were from people on hexbear
