Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

I don't just mean outrage or regular rage, I mean shock that someone was to the left of "legal weed and free college but only for those that operate a successful business for 3 years in a disadvantaged community" top-cop takes.

I think federating took them by surprise, looking back. For about a week, those smug liberals were at a loss to even fathom what Hexbears were saying, and could only chant bullshit about how we're Russian/Chinese bots.

Sure they still do that but they've slightly adapted to Hexbear presence.

It's hilarious to see people call this place an echo chamber.

I don't know if I've ever seen a more divided group on literally any given topic.

I can say the word cats and start an argument where I'm taking shit from three different sides, pretty sure thats not an echo chamber.

I think it might very well already be submitted. Someone at hexbear used it as an emoji so I saved it (because it's awesome) and I used it now by simply uploading it because I don't know how people get the emojis to appear in the line.

Do I have to be registered on hexbear to get emojis like walter-breakdown to pop up? Or is there a command I'm not entering right? I know I'm doing something wrong.

not seeing it but there's well more than 1200 so it's entirely possible I missed it.

and yeah, emotes are instance specific. feature got upstreamed from hexbear but not a lot of instances are using it atm.

Tragic.

Thanks though!
