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!

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

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 21 points 5 months ago (3 children)

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.

[–] CoolerOpposide@hexbear.net 23 points 5 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 19 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Can I stack rocks if it's the chunks of asphalt and concrete from decaying infrastructure, or is that forbidden as well?

[–] liberaldeathsquads@hexbear.net 21 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (3 children)

I would say making any physical contact with grass is bad. People should be confined to the arcology until we digitize our minds into a single hivemind and become transhuman.

[–] healthkick@hexbear.net 16 points 5 months ago

Hexbear: not touching grass is praxis

[–] CoolerOpposide@hexbear.net 11 points 5 months ago

You should make as much contact as possible with nonnative grasses in order to eliminate them from the environment.

[–] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 10 points 5 months ago (1 children)

You know what you need to do to stack rocks, or have an outdoor cat, or go shooting a Tsesarevich?

You have to go out.

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 8 points 5 months ago

or go shooting a Tsesarevich?

Oh yeah I forgot about that one

[–] CoolerOpposide@hexbear.net 9 points 5 months ago

Yes you should stack those actually

[–] sgtlion@hexbear.net 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Cause it obviously wasn't that simple.

[–] CoolerOpposide@hexbear.net 10 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It is obviously that simple. No need to rehash this. The science is that stacking rocks is bad. I made the post because the science is that stacking rocks is bad. The national parks ask people not to stack rocks. Every scientist who works in the field knows stacking rocks is bad.

To argue it isn’t that simple is straight up climate change denialism levels of ignoring science.

[–] sgtlion@hexbear.net 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

I'm certainly not rehashing or arguing either way. But if it was 'obviously that simple', it wouldn't have made for a silly struggle session.

[–] CoolerOpposide@hexbear.net 3 points 5 months ago

It was obviously that simple, that’s why it made for a ridiculous struggle session

[–] FALGSConaut@hexbear.net 13 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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?

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 14 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Thank you comrade

Damn, I should get a medal for being present for that one.

[–] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 11 points 5 months ago (1 children)

lmao that one was also my fault

[–] LeylaLove@hexbear.net 14 points 5 months ago

I mean I was the one who brought up Mao, I can't say I'm not proud of it lol

[–] marxisthayaca@hexbear.net 9 points 5 months ago (2 children)

[–] emizeko@hexbear.net 7 points 5 months ago

I often wonder if we are linked because of how often you end up having posted the exact same thing I'm thinking about.
