So, I just read 2 paragraphs of theory and it’s got me wondering: is collecting Hot Wheels cars antithetical to Marxism?
It would seem that, after my reading, while saving my money ultimately removes all humanity from myself, spending my money (especially in such a manipulative and exclusivity-focused market) is also enabling the very worst of the capitalist forces I aim to stand against.
How do I win? Also: Vroooooooooooom
lmao I’m newish to Lemmy and am still figuring out instances and the fediverse and shit. So I guess I got questions: What is hexbear? Can I use it on mobile? And do I need a new account to use it?
Sorry to come off as mean in the last comment. We all sorta know each other's vibe here and can be a be a bit sarcastic. But with newbies it just comes off as flat cruel.
Hexbear.net is our instance. We're the non-specific socialist, queer friendly, dirtbag leftist instance. Full disclosure: most of us live in the West, but we all hate Western military aggression and capitalism. Anyone from Reddit who's not already a leftist (socialist, communist, or anarchist) basically hates us. Our community really knows each other and we look out for each other in this capitalist hellscape. You might notice that we have movie and gaming nights.
Nearly all of us just use a browser on mobile, preferably Firefox, but honestly any browser works. Jerboa for Android does work for Hexbear, but you're missing all the cool emojis when you use the app like
Oh, no worry! I understood it was just jokin’ around. Thanks for all that info though. I’ll have to check out the website on my desktop. I thought I’d mention though, I use an app call Voyager on iOS, and I’m able to see all the cool emotes. Or at least, some appear. Like the ones you used in your comments, I could see them.
I also find the camaraderie really heartwarming. I’ve considered my slide left to be a humiliation fetish because of how much push back I receive in nearly every facet of my life. Even here (lemmy in general) I get called a tankie for defending Palestine lmao. It’s just refreshing to find a place where people are as pissed off as I am. ❤️
I feel like everyone here makes the move to the left simply due to how terrible the right and centre act. I have a billion stories on liberals in my life acting like sociopaths and I'm sure you do too.
The Palestine issue has gotta be the number one shame of the West right now. To be a Westerner and not actively doing something about Gaza has real middle class 1939 German living my life vibes.
Eternity app displays the emoji, though I haven't been able to figure out how to use them yet, not sure if the emojis federate.
next.hexbear.net is probably the best way to view hexbear.net, there's some issue with not being able to move to another page when using some mobile browsers with the vanilla hexbear.net
Don't need an account if you're from an instance that hasn't defederated from us.
Thanks, I’ll give it a shot! I’ve been using Voyager on iOS and it’s all I’ve really experienced Lemmy on, so I’m sure there are things I’m missing that I don’t even know exist lol
