Maybe it is more than an instance. Maybe it is an idea, a world-historical vanguard, light itself. planet-hillary

actual attempt to answer (cringe)We’ve been around for three years on a lemmy fork before federation. The lack of federation for years as well as the place we splintered off from (/r/chapotraphouse) already having a unique microculture within Reddit has given this instance, in my opinion, a distinct culture compared to general-purpose and even other hobbyist instances.

Regarding specifics, Hexbear is a vehemently queer-friendly/intersectional anti-sectarian socialist instance. Check us out meow-bounce lea-bounce

I'm afraid you're going to have to lead the riots in Toledo, the official city of Hexbear. It's a shame you weigh 6 oz and aren't a 350lb horror from the ancient world like Gritty is. Gritty has never been at risk of being accidentally stepped on.

it was so desirable that it got fought over in a mini-civil war, it’s close enough to Cedar Point for a long weekend, and only-good-gamer lives there

I grew up there so I'm very on board

It was great when you joined and immediately brought an extremely powerful and specific energy to the site

[-] [email protected] 72 points 2 years ago

I think my first post was me complaining about being covered in centipedes followed by a post of a skeleton complaining that the centipedes won

Not sure what to call that energy lol

I don't remember that post but I went through your old posts and this was the first one. Although we didn't get the signature Dirt_Owl posting until this post which is just the right amount of immature humor, weirdness, and mildly horny that we now know as the signature Dirt_Owl post.

[-] [email protected] 21 points 2 years ago

Ohhhh so my first post was more serious then I thought.

Oh geez back when the covid toll was less then a million haha oooo nooo yea

[-] [email protected] 42 points 2 years ago

You're pretty great. Can't imagine this place without you. But to be honest, that's how I feel about most of us.

[-] [email protected] 24 points 2 years ago

We love you Dirt_Owl
