I'm sure I can find the answers to these questions in google individually, but other people in the fediverse might benefit from having these questions answered as well.

Why is Trump a "Wet Boy"?

Why is a defecating pig a "PBB"?

Why do you, a chapotraphouse discussion forum, only discuss something called "citations needed" instead of the chapo podcast?

How is El Chapo's trap house in any way related to leftism?

Why are your emojis so big?

What's the limit for your big tent left? Maoists? Trotskyites? Demsocs? Socdems? TERF socialists? Progressive Democrats? Monarchist socialists?

To widen the topic of the post, feel free to post any other questions regarding Hexbear as well.

Why are your emojis so big?

A bug (or perhaps unimplemented feature?) in the general Lemmy UI code not found in Hexbear's is that it does not seem to constrain the display size of emotes, simply displaying them at source size. Some of our emotes which have been derived from vector graphics have large source images but are nonetheless displayed at an appropriate size on Hexbear. Here's a smattering of particularly large emotes followed by a screenshot of how they appear viewed on Hexbear proper:
