I was at a farm recently and I kept returning to the pig… I didn’t want to miss it pooping on its own balls. I knew it wasn’t going to happen - if it had happened before then surely I would have received a picture - but I just kept on waiting for it, circling those giant balls like a vulture. That’s the part of communism that nobody warns you about.

yeah let me give my take on the USSR and the PRC in one fucking sentence. I’m a fucking leftist for crying out loud, I need four fucking books if you want my opinion.

If I had the patience to run something like this, I wouldn’t give a shit what people’s takes were as long as their response is in wall-of-text leftist meme format.

:geordi-no: China good.

:geordi-no: China bad. (also a very boring take)

:geordi-yes: It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity …

You don’t need a wall of text to write “the exact opposite of everything the Epoch Times says” though

show, don’t tell. Set the scene for the reader. Make them feel like they were in the maternity ward on that warm august day in 1997. They had just eaten a big mac while they wait outside the delivery room their girlfriend is in. Limp Bizkit is on the radio and they have to occupy their time with a Reader’s Digest from the week of January 13, 1992. One of the stories is about a guy who encountered a family of grizzly bears hiking in Idaho and lived to talk about it.

Maybe I’m just old as fuck, but Discord seems like a medium that’s literally impossible to have a discussion on. It might as well be an endless auto-generated scroll.

It depends on the size of the discord, ~20 people seems to be about the maximum the format can handle.

I’m at least one person using it that way, the Discord I hang out on for a league is like that. Going on like “youtube e-celeb official” is pretty much impossible to follow any sort of conversation.

As an Old, I agree. I tried and it honestly feels like a step backwards. I think Yahoo chat rooms had more meaningful discussions.

It freaks me out… too much sensory input at once. I miss the pre-Reddit era of niche messageboards.

am also a crumbling ruin
discord is good for instant communication between friends, or small-ish servers built around a purpose
i refuse to engage in high-traffic channels in larger servers because it’s a hellscape of a million different conversations at once

Just feels like old school IRC to me. You pop in and out of the conversation like you would an actual in-person conversation.

Create post

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

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 ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
