dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in [email protected], it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

I'll have you know, I've watched Parenti's yellow speech. TWICE!

Hey :(

I use lemm.ee because the big lib instances have not defederated it (.world, beehaw) and they still federate with hexbear (I also like slrpnk.net and they defederated from hexbear as well).

Sorry for the friendly fire

Ditto Odo. I like having the agency to choose to block / ingnore users or instances I dislike. I understand some people may not be in a headspace where they are able to ignore vitriolic / harmful posts or opinions and some people simply don't want to have to block every other post and just enjoy their space.

.ee seemed to tick all the boxes at the time while being large / established enough to not fly by night.

I think that's just because it's become kind of the general instance now that Lemmy dot world keeps having its hamster wheel powered servers self combust. I'm sure there are plenty of cool people on there as well because of that, just drowned out by endless liberalism.

I think it's because the people motivated enough to respond here are always doing so because they were triggered. The normal people aren't triggered. They might read a bit of the struggle session and say nothing. That's all.

Eventually over time those people became members of CTH back in the day. So give it time. I have noticed that we've gone up by about 100 active users per day in the last week. Many of these are probably chapos dragged out of their hole by the entertainment of the battles happening on /all/ but I also suspect we are attracting a few people.

I am hopeful that lemmyworld's problems continue indefinitely until lemm.ee takes the leadership role as it seems run by people of sounder mind. Their moderation of hate is stronger, transphobia is better, and they're not banning the socialists. It's the one we ought to promote.

I kinda hope they don't defenestrate or whatever, there's a perverse glee in the whiplash of seeing all these Reddit posts showing up on Hexbear

Might get old though

Last time I saw one here, a bunch of great comrades from the news megathread dogpiled them with walls of text, literally so much text I had to scroll for a considerable amount of time. I don't think that's ever getting old.

It's fun to body them but I don't like seeing reactionary shit on hexbear, I'm here to escape that.

Someone needs to make a bit account that is literally just called lemme.ee and post only awful takes. You heard it here first folks

[–] [email protected] 41 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Also bring back downbears but only for posters from lemmy so it can be a certified moron asshole badge.

[–] [email protected] 46 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That would be a good bit. Downbears only for non local posters so every Hexbear post is massively upbeared and every bad take is massively downbeared. Non local posters with good takes can have a little upbear too, as a treat
