Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

Late-stage irony poisoning
In addition to the first ban wave which was partially a bit or something cuz people requested to be banned so TC69 used a random number generator but also entries in the modlog that have the RNG stuff weren't people who requested it??, some of our admins are now banning their alts as a bit to start drama, other obvious alts are coming out to call it out and continue more drama, there's more but...... you get the idea :/
Idk, this all started in an attempt to make our site more serious by replacing the_{dunk,dredge}_tank with higher effort alternatives and now that that didn't go through it's all a joke now
Honestly I may log off for a while too, is not rly that funny to me :/ People on this site have literally fed me and my friend, kept us out of overdraft status on bank accts, I learned so much from reading stuff here or books I learned about from here, people have been housed cuz of this site, someone nearby legit offered to take care of one of my irl friend's pets when he was homeless for a bit, I met new friends here that I talk to every day. It's not a political party but it's not just a giant shitpost either, so idk where this is going :/
I'm sure this looks even worse from the outside
, but it's okay, site has survived worse
Like FuckyWucky mentioned, there is a lot of talking going on behind the scenes and no one outside rly knows what is going on sooooo..... we see what happens I guess
...why? Lemmygrad was right there in the corner.
Hexbear always gave me a party vibe, Lemmygrad - a library.
the admins seem to have wanted HB to be more serious for a long time now, well before federation.
LG is also not a left unity space the way HB is. it would only be a suitable fit for some (admittedly likely most) of our users.
They should lead by example.
sure, i agree with that. i think i'd personally rather they just dropped the notion altogether, or even just accept that you can have both in the same space with little detriment.
mostly i just wish they weren't doing...whatever this is.
They should log the fuck off
They must fucking hate me then lmao.
Well they can deal with the silly, because I'm not about to be less silly and if my silly comrades go then I go too.
We need a new Hexbear, with blackjack and hookers!
Lmao nah, we just need to get rid of some of the problematic mods and unban the people who were wrongfully banned and learn from the damn experience, like I know we can.
Hexbears seem averse to posting here. When cheap dunking posts were banned, they created another tank comm instead of posting to SRS or SUS. Even now that the tanks are shut, there haven't been any bears that've posted to lemmygrad's equivalent comms.
Hexbear was around for a couple years before federation was a thing so a lot of people only ever post there.
Also, and I say this as a frequent Hexbear poster, the average Hexbear user has read zero theory and just wants somewhere lefty to shitpost. There is not a ton of overlap between them and people that use Lemmygrad/Leftypol/etc
I'm kind of worried I'd be intruding if I posted on grad. You guys are the cool kids and I'm just a clown.
Don't be! We'd love to have you here! (And be sure to report any transphobic shitheads to the mods as well, they aren't any more welcome here than they are on Hexbear)
I'll party at the library.
hexbear is deliberately left unity, grad isn't
Idk tbh, regardless I feel like they don't have to be contradictory
I come to this site for the shitposts and the genuine discussion and political education resources
I should also mention the proposal post later also had statements from mods who said they proposed the idea cuz they thought "dunk" culture has "cishet white vibes", which...... idk, is maybe fair, Hexbear is rly white sometimes and I would hate for people to be put off by that (good reason to be put off ofc). It wasn't rly elaborated upon though
Hexbear has a bunch of anarchist users, for one thing.
