idk, I went and looked at the vegan comm after seeing this reply, and the most “toxic” thing I saw was vegan folks expressing frustrations with bad takes on their lives from libs in very nuanced (and even sympathetic) ways. these posts from comrade Angel really got me thinking, actually. it just reinforced my view that this is a very friendly and honest place!

i’m not sure if hexbears realize just how bad the actual toxic internet cliques are…

you’ve transcended being british by posting here. congratulations, comrade!

for once, a piece of news means you might actually not have to go to work tomorrow

i’m fairly new, and i really don’t get the accusations of clique-yness, nor toxicity. this is easily one of the friendliest and most welcoming public communities i’ve ever been in online
