Slop posts go in c/slop. Don't post low-hanging fruit here.
LMAO okay i like federation now
For best viewing experience please use lemmygrad?
Hahaha on my screen it's normal so God do I envy you. Here's another
i mean this in the nicest way possible and I mean that it's charming
a lot of these other instances feel like just kinda charming friendly middle aged people talking on Facebook. It's kind of whiplash because I've been so used to the owl piss and pig shit style of posting we've cultivated and these folk are just pleased as punch with their spongebob and tom&jerry memes

i always see the threads talking about the dumb libs, before looking for them. the equivalent of hearing gunshots in the neighborhood. lmao.
I think as the libs get deeper into arguments they say something that leads to a ban or removed comments. They are so far not brave enough to venture onto the News Megathread, praise be unto Lord SeventytwoTrillion.
Open the gates!
Close the gates!
Open the gates a little!
Hello. I was pretty regular user of the original sub before it closed down. I avoided moving to Hexbear because I didn't like the interface.
Hey same! Gosh r/cth feels like a million years ago - deleted my original account over it and everything

A week ago: ah shit, another struggle session
Today: looks like some libs are getting spammed
lemmy.ml probably won't defed so we'll get a slow drip of new libs from that more than likely, even if everyone else did
It was a little of shock but to see so many comments telling me to vote for Biden and Dems coming from a nominally ML site.
A good chunk of people have no idea, they just know that it is the instance managed by the main devs.
The good news is that the mods of Lemmy.ml are based and so many people post there given that it is the flagship instance. I don't think they'd ever defederate. We can continue dunking on western propoganda in worldnews@lemmy.ml
I think it's good that we have new people coming in who question and challenge our collective political opinions. It's good to explain and defend concepts because it really does aid in understanding. Plus, we don't want to become an echo chamber.
Tbh I see it kind of opposite. When people come in with uninformed bad arguments we've heard 1000 times before, it doesn't cause me to reevaluate anything, and it just makes me want to unite more with other Hexbears in dunking on them. When there's fewer of those types, it's easier to have meaningful discussions and disagreement, without having to worry about giving libs ammo. We haven't had any struggle sessions and I've seen a lot less debate between Hexbears since it started. But I also don't think that's a bad thing, we could stand to do a little less infighting.
I was also hesitant but I'm having a great time.
I was just reading on another post that at least 2 lost chapos from CTH found their way home, which is genuinely heartwarming. No links though, and I missed the homecoming party
People here were worried about federation but I think given that we aren't on the old subreddit anymore a lot of the problems that used to exist are moot. Back on Reddit you used to have to worry that posting in cth would result in you being targeted in almost any other subreddit regardless of the content you were posting. Then there was the issue with potentially being shadowbanned or banned outright as well.
They can just defederate here if they want. Otherwise I feel fairly free to interact with libs or chuds as much as I want, with the one caveat that the real bad actors have to be moderated, causing more work for the mod teams.
Overall it seems fine. It's nice seeing people from other instances being able to come in and talk, for the most part. Seems much more alive now (which is great for me since I love mostly lurking)
All the dumbass liberals were dammed for three years and now they’re flooding in with the fury of a thousand suns
It's been stale here on Hexbear for a year, to be honest. I think it's because any catharsis or insight we can muster has been already tapped out or known by the users of this site, especially after its 2020/21' growing pains.
I'm amused as you are by the wandering federali.
