commrequest

Please answer these questions!

What kind content should be posted on /c/rackers?

What kind of content would be posted on rackers if you dropped the /c/?

Do you want to see this comm created?

If nobody wants /c/rackers may I suggest /c/hapotraphouse as an alternative. We really ought to use the /c/ in comms as part of the official name of these groups. Its a missed opportunity if you ask me.

1. will the board be ironically or unironically pro-trump? No.

2. will the board be about trump exclusively? Mostly not, it will mostly be a board about mocking liberal politics.

3. why should my leftist safespace have a subforum called “thedonald”? Because it would be funny and we could laugh at anyone who posts there unironically.

4. if there’s this girl I like, and I really like her, but she is obsessed with this thing called jebposting where she makes ironic memes about jeb bush winning elections in a landslide to comical degrees, to the point where she neglects eating, bathing, going outside, just to keep jebposting. Should I ask this girl out on a jeb bush themed date even if I think the joke itself is rather worn out and not funny anymore?

You can DM me I'll send it to you in advance so you can decide, but trust me the impact is going to be so funny.

One common complaint I've noticed among our comrades from the global south is that discussions on this site tend to be dominated by people from the imperial core. I think there would be some benefit to having a comm for people from the global south, and only people from the global south, to be able to talk amongst themselves without people assuming they're being hypocritical/edgelord first worlders. This would be similar in purpose to c/em_poc, but in regards to nationality rather than race.

a safe space for us People of NATO

Compare the size of China/Russia/India/USA/other militaries.

Talk about nuclear strategy.

Talk about new and coming military technology.

etc.

It's been too long since @[email protected] went on a posting spree, and we need a place where everyone can post them. Putting them in c/cth or c/hat is inadequate, they need their own space. I probably come up with a few Wrong Facts per week as it is, and I bet others have plenty more.

Fake News can be misleading and controversial and divisive, but Wrong Facts will brighten up anyone's day.

This bit needs to be revived, and democratized!

No bs community to help with relationship advice.

No dating or pursuing relationships will be allowed and is worthy of a ban.

They just all have to start with "ummm ackshully"

We have a generic science comm, but many of the posts are about space because space is fuckin cool. So there should be a dedicated comm for space to avoid overwhelming /c/science.

ive been thinking abt this for a while now: a comm for caffeinated drinks. im a big coffee drinker and rlly enjoy the process of brewing. this could be for tea too, and energy drinks ig. theres a lot of knowledge in brewing coffee (and im sure its the same for tea). im a bit of a novice, but i have a decent amount of experience to share involving espresso, cold brew, pour-overs, water hardness and temperature, grind size, bean selection, etc. we can also recommend each other gear. my first post would be talking abt my manual espresso machine that i highly recommend for quality espresso on a budget

as im already on the mod team, i could mod this comm, and im sure i could find other users passionate abt coffee or tea to deputize

I want to replace reddit.com/r/modernart with a Lemmy version and I otherwise only have a Lemmy.ml account. I'd prefer to keep the community on Hexbear. There isn't really a community on reddit to migrate and I doubt anyone would join Hexbear for it, I just want to better focus the core idea of it here.

Modernism is super relevant to the left, but it isn't well-represented by /c/art or /c/urbanism or /c/literature or /c/music or /c/history since it's a whole-ass thing in itself. I want it to be posts like this where there's a background and discussion for specific 1860s-1960s works/buildings/ideas/movements, how they made the 20th century different from the 19th, and how that informed their/our politics: https://www.reddit.com/r/modernart/comments/tlxspt/ee_cummings_next_to_of_course_god_america_i/

Hear me out, this could be like a sub where we discuss trends and stuff for people who don't understand new trends, kinda like out of the loop for reddit.

copying from my other thread:

As leftists, we understand that a lot of individual problems are caused by systemic issues. However, I think that there is still a lot that can be done on the individual level to improve your life.

Most online self-improvement spaces have a reactionary slant and are dominated by the same type of guy, which is another great reason to have a self-improvement comm on this website.

We can change the name of the comm to something more fitting if you have some suggestions.

If somebody wants to mod the comm, please let me know because I think I wouldn't have enough time.

A community where everyone has to communicate exclusively in emojis.

I think it would be funny

I think it’s important to reflect on our history and discuss how we can better ourselves. I think in particular the fact that many of you deny the Tiananmen Square massacre, I think it would be beneficial to share the facts and mourn the losses.

For those of us who hate trains, public transportation and renewable energy sources, I think it’s only fair we have our own community to discuss oil prices and other things to do with fossil fuels

(Copy/paste from m*d application thread)

I hereby declare an official request for a trueanon community on Hexbear. There’s one on lemmygrad already but it has three subscribers and I became #2 and #3 after I figured out how to join a new instance.

I know chapo essentially serves the same purpose, but a TA comm could be used to gather the alarmingly more regular headlines about new “Jeffery Epstein(s) of ____” and our Pepe Silvia-style effort posts.

Plus I locked down the username and need to grow the investment

Previously requested three years ago: https://hexbear.net/post/2640

Post tags never came, and we seem to be creating a new comm for everything else so I'd say it's only fair for this to be reconsidered.

having a comm called USA tells them that they're one country among others; not having it (using /c/politics etc.) tells them they're the default, reinforces the mindset that everything is centred on the USA unless otherwise specified

Title.

In my experience there is a great deal of overlap between the polyamory community and a lot of our communities, so I'm sure we have at least some Hexbears that are interested. Also in my experience most polyamory communites online are full of cis straight white people trying to find out how they can find a cis queer woman to use as a toy...knowing full well that is NOT what any polyamorous Hexbears would be interested in discussing, I think this community could add a lot of value to the fediverse by being a different voice than the typical heteronormative polaymory communites, and help drive traffic to Hexbear and to the fediverse on the whole among people who are looking for a geninuely safe space to discuss polyamory. There aren't many, at least not that I'm aware of. All of the healthy polyamory communites I know of are offline, it would be nice to try to foster a healthy and safe one online too.

I'd be willing to mod it unless someone more experienced would like to volunteer, in which case please volunteer, and maybe teach me the ropes, or just take the project on yourself if you don't think I should be a part of it.

Anyway, open to feedback on this, maybe Hexbear is a bad place for it, maybe most Hexbears are monogamous and so nobody really would get value out of it, or maybe lots of people have been wishing we had this.
