another note for new hexbear users - our code of conduct also requires you DM the mods and say 'engaging target' every time you engage with a lib. this is important for logging your posts on the blockchain. you have to provide Proof of Posting or we don't get our xibucks/putinbucks.
some of you really don't get it
you can use multiple slurp juices on a single ape
FYI, this is what we mean when we keep linking to "PPB": we're making a record of the exchange so we can qualify for our Proof of Posting Bursary.
Can I just DM you, and you can forward it to the relevant mods? Kind of a buddy program for new bears and old bears?
yes this is called 'staking your posts'. the staker (me) takes a percentage cut of your xibucks and then the stakee (you) get the remainder. it's best to make every aspect of the free marketplace of ideas into a literal marketplace
Sorry, but the first couple times you actually have to send a copy of your posts to the appropriate embassy, through fax.
Personally I prefer to get paid in tankie tokens or mao money
100 yuan has been added to your account
You do have to actually disengage though, to be clear. No "I disengage, but also [fuck you, x,y,z, trying to get the last word]". If you're disengaging, it has to be mutually respected.
The usual format is (wall of rage text) then "therefore I disengage." 
no more half measures walter
Type "disengage" and then just posting a continuation of the rant on a different person's post entirely as a bit.
Or, make an insulting post and then after they reply, edit it to "disengage" so they get a rule violation
Some wrecker tried this on me once lol
imo i feel like the disengage rule should really only apply amongst comrades. it will just be used to silence us otherwise and the libs have plenty of ways to do that without us handing them another
plus giving the libs a magic debate-winning word seems like it validates their worldview a bit too much, idk
This came up as an alternative to blocking when we lacked a block feature. Since everybody has a block feature now, it probably just makes sense to use that, though there are cases where it is preferable to just tell someone to drop it instead of blocking them. Anyway, it is still the rule.
tbh if you blocked everyone that was ever annoying on hexbear this site would be a ghost town lmao
I'm a 3rd gen Hexbear and we've evolved to not have this trait.
Yes! Great note for our new federated friends!
Additionally, the admins have clarified that this is not a free "get the last word" trick either though, so it doesn't count if you go "hey I want to disengage and also here's why you're a doodoo head"
Frankly, most people on other instances have seemed either content to ignore us (and optionally make inaccurate complaints behind our backs), or just as eager to get into a slapfight as our users, so idk if it will make a huge difference, but this will get us to leave you alone if you are in that scenario, and if it doesn't can be reported to our mods/admins
That's not what that means - it means if you don't want to argue with us, just stop arguing with us.
No, you can say "disengage" and then further replies are against the rules.
Liberals after posting disengage:
checkmate tankies
Nazis after posting disengage:
guys it says in your own rules that you have to disengage, and you keep on posting the fucking picture of the pig with the
Cease all motor functions
Russian bots:
Stop screaming “disengage” at me, I don’t know what that word means and I will never stop posting
You seem to be the only person who cares about this, Zuzak. This is a rule that to my knowledge has never been mentioned or enforced. I didn't even know we had rules until last week and I've been here the whole three years. Pulling this out as a "gotcha" that everyone has to abide by because it's in a document no one knew existed, that is never or nearly never referenced, and that in no way guides or informs site culture is not helpful or productive.
If anything, we should be discussing revising the site rules to reflect current practice, now that some people know they exist.
comments get removed & people have been banned for pursuing an argument after one user has 'disengaged'. you've really never seen this? it is in the rules, and i think there was even a clarification at a later date regarding people who'd say 'disengage' but continue the argument for the last word.
i guess it's fortunate you've never been in a shit-flinging hostile enough it's been needed but this is by no means a new rule or one that's gone unused/appreciated
This is dumb. There's basically no scenario where this would be used in good faith.
I DO NOT WISH TO CREATE JOINDER WITH YOU
Any discussions may be opted out of by disengaging.
I have always interpreted that as meaning YOU have to disengage, not that you can tell other people to "disengage". People here have tried to end an argument by telling other to disengage while they keep on arguing, which is just a cheap attempt to get the last word.
In the past, this rule has only applied to the specific user you say it to. I'd like to suggest going forward that if someone on another instance uses it, we treat it as applying to all of us.
Gonna be hard to get this since I don't think most of us are down for reading a 200-1000 comment thread before commenting when the disengage request might be buried somewhere in it.
The corollary is that bad faith disengages don't count as disengages.
Banned? DM Wmill to appeal.
No anti-nautilism posts. See: Eco-fascism Primer
