I don't know why this take hits me so hard. It's so utterly comical in my brain. It's such a bizarre idea to me that we're going to be bleeding the users who have been here when it was literally only hexbear after a week or two of federation because, what, do they think their posting power is going to sway people over there? This is one of the least controversial site decisions to have happened over on this side of the coin. The idea of this being a phenomenon that will happen with multiple, let alone even one of our pre-federation users is so utterly incompatible with my mental model of Hexbear that I can't fucking get over it. It's fucking fascinating strangelove-wow

if you are one of these people planning to exodus to blahaj full-time please let me know because it’s too good of a bit to keep to yourself

It's far more likely they'll hemorrhage a chunk of users to us, which seems to already be happening since this is just the superior space for trans people to feel safe and welcome.

The lack of slurs here has made me really consider jumping ship

[-] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago

I'm curious if even one single user does this.

Ass exitus.

Blahaj made me realize how much I prefer just mostly lurking hexbear. Their comment sections feel... Toxic? Idk, hexbear's comment sections feel more genuine (except where the irony is turned up to 11, and that's pretty easy to identify)

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
