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

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 21 points 5 months ago (9 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 (5 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 (4 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.

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

I joined Hexbear two days before your last comment so that's something

Most everyone defederated. .ML are still the good guys. .world is basically just reddit now.

Lots of wreckers/libs

That's about it I think.

An irony poisoned anti union comm was made by me and melina and approved by the admins, then we got accused of being crypto fascists trying to spread reactionary ideology and the comm got banned within the space of 16 hours after it was created

People were disturbed by a downwards trend in non-news-thread effort posting so a public works project was enacted that resulted in the creation of c/badposting

Badposting exists, yet I still see bad posts outside of it. Curious.

What was up with that I only ever paid attention to their posts in the megathreads and they seemed pretty chill

[–] LeylaLove@hexbear.net 24 points 5 months ago (1 children)

They had 7 pages of modlogs on them. Also on the post I talk about starting to go into AA for alcoholism, they did a "well acktually" on AA instead of showing any support.

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 20 points 5 months ago (1 children)

You don't have to reply here, but a gentle check in from one recent non-drinker to another.

[–] LeylaLove@hexbear.net 18 points 5 months ago (4 children)

Not well friend. I'm still drinking less, it's not totally dictating my life, but this breakup has been rough. Been with her since I was 19 and I'm 23 now. I relapsed on Friday, but plan on going to a group with my sobriety coach on Monday so that'll be good

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 19 points 5 months ago

Don't beat yourself up, relapse is nothing to be ashamed about, just part of the process. Wishing you well, and proud of you! Hope Monday is beneficial Care-Comrade

Feel free to hit me up if you ever need!

Same...not the first time a user whose posts I've enjoyed has gotten banned and probably won't be the last. I guess part of it is that I don't really post anything of substance so I'm unlikely to come into conflict with even the most combative posters, and I somehow manage to miss most of the struggle sessions even though I spend a good amount of time on Hexbear (not that I'd participate in them, but I don't even see them)

And then made an alt that they admitted was an alt, but somehow didn't get banned for that.

I did some shitposting and some seriousposting. This comment is one of the two.

[–] AndJusticeForAll@hexbear.net 17 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Mods formed a mixed bio-mechanical hive consciousness and internal to THEIR instantaneous thought-space THEY mock and share all of our sign-up entries, particularly the discussion section where we say why we signed up.

If we don't use THEIR all-caps pronouns in total deference to THEIR all-knowing woke superiority to us posters, we get banned and our entry paragraph gets pinned to the front page.

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

I've been forced to touch less grass and my shitposting ratio has increased

Some wreckers and trolls have came and went but mostly I am too late to say mean things so I am sad about that but the dunks are still entertaining
