I’ve been on an unintentional break from hexbear over the past 10 months since the redesign broke it on my phone and school started. But I have a new phone now, so what’s been happening? Are we finally blocked by everyone except lemmygrad? Any new struggle sessions? Fill me in!
UlyssesT went off to touch grass on a farm upstate, and Kissinger died immediately afterwards.
The defederations tapered off. We had a really funny tension with dbzer0 a few months ago, where instead of defederating, we banned just their admins, and nothing further happened.
The special relationship with Lemmygrad is as strong as ever.
BMF was banned for doing a very superficial sectarianism. It had happened a dozen times before but this time they haven’t been spotted since.
DayOfDoom, one of our most entertaining posters, turned out to not be doing a bit and was really that perturbed to the core, and got banned for it.
There was a micro struggle session about olibe oiol, and something bigger about… I forget what.
We took site surveys and 104% of us are queer as fuck.
We’ve had a lot of “posting X every day until I don’t” streaks, plenty of megathreads of all shades.
The site has been utterly overrun by beanis, and there’s no going back.
Forgot the one thing that has not tapered off much to the amusement of the rest of the sane fediverse: lemmy.world still cannot stop making hundred comment threads about how mean and bad the hexbear is and pretending to be ignorant of what we actually think despite every single time someone from another instance that’s still federated there painstakingly explaining exactly what our party lines so to speak tend to be.
Also the Aaron Bushnell struggle session
Wherein some (probably mostly white folks) did performative slander on their character (“muh they’re still a troop”) meanwhile the PFLP literally posted a statement honoring and recognizing Aaron as a martyr.
Oh yeah and then you missed that time I pulled the uno reverse card on the little shit that kept trying to get me evicted https://hexbear.net/post/1732105
The olive oil struggle session was so funny. More theory came up on that than most posts on the site
I still can’t believe there was an argument over fucking olive oil.
Like the indoor cats vs outdoor cats and stacking rocks were pretty incredulous, but come on how do you end up on the wrong side of the olive oil argument and still double down when proven wrong.
I’ll still never forgive the morons who insist on stacking rocks after I demonstrated the many ways it is objectively bad for the environment. Like I thought I was making a friendly PSA to help give a quick tip on how to help people who didn’t know they were disturbing fragile ecosystems
Not trying to restart a struggle session, but I completely missed the stacking rocks argument. Can someone give me a quick rundown on why it’s good/bad?
wait i missed the olive oil one, is there a link somewhere
Death to America
DayOfDoom, one of our most entertaining posters, turned out to not be doing a bit and was really that perturbed to the core, and got banned for it.
uhhh, context? I did not realise it wasn’t a bit
We tried to do a communism but we were 1 user short
the zionist entity’s response to the heroic actions of the inmates of their concentration camp during the Al Aqsa Flood have sharpened awareness of settler-colonialism and imperialism, resulting in an uptick in the use of Maoist Standard English
