For posting all the anonymous reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No bigotry of any kind, including ironic bigotry.
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: Do not post public figures, these should be posted to c/gossip

Its inherently better. The algorithm isn't so virality focused, this is what I have heard anyway and it feels true. The content isn't affected by the "attention economy" that plagues western social media. The app itself also just has better features than tiktok.
I can't say what it was like before and how many Americans will stick around, but they just added am auto translate feature so its much easier to interact and comment and not need to mess with copy and pasting to another translation app.
If you aren't afraid of the big terrible scary CCP undermining national security I would recommend checking it out. I also think you don't need an account to browse it on desktop
Its just my personal experience but I find myself scrolling slower and spending more time on longer form videos. At the very least it is refreshing for my ADHD brain to not be assaulted by 50% ads and 40% pointless memes that tiktok has
