Yeah, Hexbear is old Chapo, they left Reddit for Lemmy years ago. Because honestly, ChapoTrapHouse was a problematic community sometimes.
We do a little belligerence.
It'll mostly blow over once we've familiarized properly with the federated experience, sometimes I'll find myself outside local without realizing. also yeah toning down the emotes on other's instances I fully get, that sounds unfortunately disruptive
Yeah the pig poop emoji is my one gripe about Hexbear
that's reserved for people who've shown themselves to be chuds, if it's even remotely possible to have a discussion we'll opt for that first
That's fine but outside of hexbear people don't know that and it's also just gross and annoying
If people are replying to you with pig poop balls a lot you're probably saying dumb shit
Nobody has replied to me with it I just don't like it and think it's annoying and gross
It may hearten you to know that internally we are having this discussion as well and I think it's likely to get much less frequent. This time next year you'll know if you see that image that a nazi is getting dunked on by your friendly neighborhood hexbear
Iirc the devs are working to make it not be giant for everyone else.
lol. Chapo got kicked off for being mean to Slave Owners.
I'm not saying I hate hexbear or anything adjacent. I was a member of Chapo before it left Reddit and just didn't make the jump. The John Brown thing was topic of the week when it was taken down, but what I remember the most from Chapo was the poop ball pig spam. Hilarious? Yes. Annoying? Also yes.
We were able to purge a lot of the dumb stuff out of CTH and made it better. There was a lot of chaser stuff on the old subreddit, I usually avoided comment sections there because itd make me too angry. The new mod team is very good though and obliterates transphobes and chasers on sight
