Probably because we’re constantly talk about politics 24/7
you’re the political equivalent of abnoxious edgy atheists
Damn, I wanted to go in and tip the fedora.
😳 communitylinkfixerbot doesn’t work here?
“just let people enjoy imperialism”
Can’t we have a little imperialism? As a treat?
All treats come from imperialism, yes
Abnoxious is the name of my 90’s skater punk workout video
Valid tbh
obnoxious
abnoxious
there really is an emoji for everything
Comrade @[email protected] makes to too easy for us to show off our posting. It’s unfair really .
We do have more emotes than users.
The difference is atheists may be correct, but nowadays whether you’re religious isn’t, on its own, a huge prediction factor in how you affect others’ lives.
When your politics is lib or reactionary, when you’re racist, or nationalist, or just deliberately ignorant and loudmouthed about world politics, you are by definition actively and deliberately conspiring to make peoples’ lives worse. Those people affected are often minority groups, and/or friends, family and comrades. But whatever kind of human it is, it should be obvious why it’s personally important to us to oppose that.
So cool and correct in both ways?

Objectively correct, but annoying? I’ll accept it.
Yeah basically ngl, just without any of the smug post 9/11 islamophobia that new atheism used to mix in
Difference is that your religion doesn’t really matter as long as you keep it a personal belief, it only becomes an issue if you try to make your religion political and use it in the public sphere to control people or abuse those within it. At that point it’s no longer a religious issue it’s a political or criminal one.
Political issues matter, they determine the allocation of resources and who lives and dies and who has power. They determine who gets an education, who gets to have kids, etc.
So caring a lot about politics and pushing your political view unapologetically makes a lot of sense. Pushing your personal religious (or irreligious) views is just annoying and cringe and betrays a lack of understanding about what actually matters and impacts the real world.
Last week I was at the movies by myself to see Barbie and a big group of Hexbear users sat behind me and in the middle of the movie I opened up a can of beans to eat and one of the hexbear users yelled ‘Hey everybody, this nerd is eating beans!’ and the whole theater laughed at me. Thats why i will always hate you.
You silly Hexbear, that’s the fakest story I’ve ever heard in my life.
Why would somebody bother making a movie about a plastic doll for little girls?
Omg that was you?
Everyone! This dork eats beans in the cinema!! Bully him!
lies, hexbear users would never besmirch someone for eating beans
Tell that to Bean dad

Because they just want to meme about China Bad and Russian Bots all day long

Too much poop on your pig’s balls
I find the memes funny but the image abuse is obnoxious. I’m not a big fan of defederation so I always end up defending you guys but seriously, wtf?
deleted by creator
Nonetheless, I only see one instance abusing of the bug. It’s definitely lemmy growing pains though. I’m hoping some instance just outright ban images and emoticon, I always hated them. The little 🤣🤣🤣 always screamed teenage bullshit to me.
We aren’t abusing the bug we just are posting emojis like we always do
The reason we’re the only instance that do it is because the glitch is in how the fork of lemmy that hexbear (and no other instance runs on) interacts with mainline Lemmy instances. No other instance actually has this glitch.
In general though it’s become common etiquette to spoiler the larger emojis now (at least outside of local hexbear comms)
for example:
That’s nifty, I didn’t know that. Hexbear more like hacksbear.
Yeah, the people who maintain the code on our fork of lemmy are currently trying to fix the issue apparently, we didn’t realise it was a problem at first during testing because the test instance was defederated so there was no one from a different instance to look at it and go, “hey wait a minute, these emojis look giant to me”
Can the pig poop balls emoji please stay giant tho
I don’t care about the others
We need legacy emotes for
and
that are absolutely enormous once they fix the problem
Is the fork source in a public repo? I’d really like to see the delta there and try to get some features cherry-picked to the main Lemmy codebase.
The Code link at the bottom of every page links to it.
I’m no expert but I think many features were upstreamed to Lemmy in the past couple of years, to help converge the fork.
OH that’s why people are spoilering. I get it now.
We’re not abusing “the bug” we’re just using our instance the way our instance is meant to work. We have a lot of emotes and we use them. There’s probably like 600 of them at this point.
It’s not our fault they show up incorrectly on other servers, it’s lemmy. The reason you don’t see other instances doing it is because everywhere else on lemmy has existed for like 3 weeks and has absolutely no unique culture yet. We’ve been here 3 years and have had considerably more time to build up the Hexbear community lore, emote collection, etc etc.
Not enough fecal swine testicles
I don’t hate you. But I can empathize with others who find your abrasiveness off-putting. Someone said edgy like atheists and, as a lifelong atheist who hates religion, I understood what they meant / seemed fair to me. Let’s all have a beer.
sorry, all I’ve got is this dope ass bear
It’s because we’re loud, incredibly active, argumentative, and most importantly we are generally speaking unified. Yes there are differences, but compare the pushback when a hexbear posts something pro-china vs when someone else posts something anti-china. We’ll get maybe 2-3 responses, all of which will immediately get dogpiled anyway. They’ll get 10 of us. We also all upvote the takes we all agree on, so much so that it looks like vote manipulation. No other group on the fediverse has that type of unity, even if they broadly agree with each other.
Also the giant emojis probably don’t help lol.
and most importantly we are generally speaking unified.
It’s been a while since I did a sectarianism. I have a good reason to later today though
TL;DR first because I got rant-y
Hexbear and Lemmygrad formed to be leftist first and individual interests second. So your take is spot-on. I also think that they get mad that Hexbear doesn’t have the option to downvote. So they don’t get the satisfaction of the power trip and makes them even more pissed off. lol
The funny thing about people thinking we are assholes is that between here, lemmy.ml, and lemmygrad.ml I have found this instance to be the most chill. I find myself more concerned about getting attacked on lemmy.ml for even trying to say something that is not in-line with the western media narrative. I am a bit worried about getting jumped on for misunderstanding or having a bad take on lemmygrad. However I have begun to be better at thinking about how I say/ask things when replying to posts. Which I think is overall a good thing and have better accepted that even if I may disagree with folks, that it is better to learn more about those things over all.
For all the shit that I am learning and seeing that gets said about here and lemmygrad. Those folks on lemmy.ml and the other instances are just beyond quick to just outright refuse to take a moment to consider that they are not questioning shit at all. Just super binary “good or evil.” Even if they agree that their “side” has historically both lied and done super fucked up shit. It is still unwavering “still much better than insert whatever shit they think anti-capitalism has done to so many people.” They completely misunderstand that us “tankies” are just dumb motherfuckers brainwashed into thinking that AES nations never did anything wrong. It also doesn’t help that even “progressive” liberals are so firmly conserned about being super slightly left of dead centre. To go around talking shit about how the hammer and sickle should be treated the same as the Nazi swastika. Still believing that the US is the reason we won the war. Nor do they realize how the Cold War was completely kicked off by the western allies renegging on promises made to the USSR for helping recoup. That the massive build-up of nukes was due to our own war hawks lying about the supposed rapid build-up of anything from the Soviets. Cuba and USSR are always the “war mongers” for putting nukes on Cuba, but the US’s shit in Europe/Turkiey.
Great post
Thanks!
The emojis issue won’t be forever though
to all our brave posters
Just before federation, when people were claiming that hexbears were a bunch of unrestrained feral super-posters and that we were going to change the fediverse, I thought that a lot of it was just people hyping themselves up. Only now do I realize that we are in fact the strongest posters on the fediverse because of our solidarity with each other.
indeed
Truly we must strive to be the posters the liberals think we are
on this day we are all feral
😔
The giant emotes (which generates a lot of animosity when combined with the dubiously low PPB-trigger-threshold of some of our posters when on other instances) are solvable issue. If the devs were so inclined, they could just run imagemagick over them automatically to make downsized copies.
I’m not necessarily saying they should, I’m just saying they could.
They could also do the opposite, and make them bigger
just saying
Bring back the true power of
There should be a legacy version of
that should instantly crash whichever instance it’s sent to
A WEAPON TO SURPASS METAL GEAR
Democratic centralism is when I upvote every Hexbear post no matter how much I think the post is cringe.
No! Don’t tell us! You’ll kill the romance!
You guys don’t like my movies… 😭
Barbie was fun and funny.
Never heard of it.
:SusKen:
Birds of Prey was kinda fun!
Out of all of my movies, you had to remind me of my most capesh*t one… 😭
Margo, how come you can only do a Long Island accent whenever you play an American
…I thought my Southern accent was pretty, pretty good in Dreamland.
Also, is my name really that hard to spell? It’s “Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie”.
Thank you Marggo Rabbi
I have no horse in this race, but I genuinely would like to know what all the drama is about? I’m new to this app and I’m not sure what the problem is when everybody can filter I think their own instances that they would like to see. I did not find anything racist or at least I haven’t seen anything or anything homophobic or calling for acts of violence, so I’m not sure why you guys are being defederated. Apologies. If this is something that has already been discussed. I’m just trying to keep myself informed.
We have an extremely aggressive site culture from our origins on Reddit when people who didn’t agree with our general political tendencies would wander into our subreddit and act like obnoxious smuglords once they realized what we’re about. Rather than outright ban these people, we would bully them until they left - and even though we have somewhat stricter moderation on this site than we did in the subreddit, the viciousness stayed. We also have an extremely online sense of humor, given that we were founded to discuss a left-wing twitter podcast, which can make the general tone dense and impenetrable for newcomers.
calling for acts of violence
FWIW the subreddit was actually banned because it said that John Brown killing slave owners was good which Reddit called “promoting violence.”
I did not find anything racist or at least I haven’t seen anything or anything homophobic
We’re very strictly against any form of bigotry on this site and have a strong culture of mocking and bullying bigots, we also have a slur filter that changes the slur to say “removed” so any user who tries to use slurs can’t (also iirc it instantly auto reports them to the mods with the slur they tried to use included in the report so that the mods can see what they were saying and react accordingly)
literally nothing happened to incite the drama. the people on this instance used the fediverse in the way the software was designed for. the instance, which used to be not federated became federated like all the other ones… the drama was initiated prior to this even happening; just in anticipation of how bad it would be.
it was a bunch of spiteful, ignorant, small minded name calling provoked by fantasies of the people who stirred it up. they are really afraid of leftists because they know they are wrong and don’t enjoy the feeling of being shown up. so they wanted to preempt this by doing red baiting to stir up a moral panic because that usually works pretty well.
We’re socialists. That’s it.
Everything they say about us revolves around them not wanting people to come here and potentially learn. In particular the nato dorks don’t want us influencing people into anti-nato positions because it’ll affect their ability to wage unlimited endless wars.
As such they’ll say anything and everything about us, even some of the completely made up things like homophobia/racism, which is funny as we’re probably the strongest instance on the fediverse against that, going far far further than the liberals do on all social justice topics.
It is what it is.
You’re a trekkie. You like space communism. We want the same thing. That’s all we need to know about each other.
I think it’s overblown. We’re annoying commies and that’s enough to make some libs mad.
but also to be fair we do call for acts of violence regularly and with great gusto. it’s one of the main things i use the site for.
But like, against Jeff bezos or imperialist institutions and the like. It’s completely different than doxxing and harassing specific minorities like kiwifarms or 4chan does.
But what about all the hatered against the opressed minority that is Landlords? Checkmate tankie
*People of Land
Only because Landed Knight is out of vogue.
Tell me so that I can double down on those specific behaviors.
Being mean to bigots
Being uncivil
Being correct
Being smart, hot and sexy
Damn I struggle to do most of thess things
🥺😌
It’s okay, I realised I do all of these things plus ultra so I’m back to full self delusion levels 💪
this but unironically. I want to be as hostile and unwelcoming to libs as possible
Death to America
At first i was neutral on federation, then I was kind of opposed to it because of all the liberals, now that I’ve seen how angry the liberals get I’m extremely pro-federation.
they hate us for our freedom :no-oil:
Well deserved
