you know, the times everyone comes together to support or celebrate

that post yesterday about TC69 & BrookeBaybee was pretty great ๐Ÿฅฐ I wasn't here back in the day to interact with them, but they're legendary, and seeing everyone's delight about their romance was heartwarming

tell me about the ones you hold dear

cuddle

PS: you're the best and I love you โค๏ธ

    Same here. Although for me it was kind of cheating, since I was on the subreddit before and had no idea it moved here. Once I found that out, the bears had a leg up on dragging me here from my other Lemmy Alt lol. But I found that out only after hexbear were depicted as a boogie man to my other Lemmy account, and after I had a conversation with a couple about stuff.

    that was me too! I found Hexbear because someone made a post on midwest.social right after federation, asking if midwest.social was going to preemptively defederate like lemmy.world, which brought in a bunch of drama and bitching about Hexbear that prompted me to come check it out and then make an account, and it became my lemmyverse main within a week or two.

    this place is the best โค๏ธ

    I love the theorybro-posting threads where some of you just go back and forth on Marx, Lenin, et al. and help others understand theory.

    You were one of the people I was actually thinking about when I made that comment lol. I've tried a few times but gave up after a tourist wasn't using the sludge in their brain pan to try to understand that the modern concept of the nuclear marriage was intended for women to be used as chattel or that having a large amount of children was done partially for free labor exploitation in the homesteader era.

    I'm a better learner than a teacher anyway.

    I will say, the amount of people that legit understand theory here towers over the users in the lefty reddit spaces. Right now on /r/communismmemes, there is a user claiming that all anarchist are liberals. I tried telling them they are wrong and they immediately downvoted me like a dweeb.

    Sorry for the ramble lol.

    Oh shit, really? Thank you! I'm flattered.

    I will say, the amount of people that legit understand theory here towers over the users in the lefty reddit spaces.

    Certainly helped push me to actually dig into theory more!

    immediate downvoting doesn't get anyone anywhere, so glad hexbear removed it. if you would like to understand that person's position, here are a couple formulations of similar claims:

    presented with no antagonism, motivated by finding a way out of this mess humanity finds itself in.

    I'm having a hard time parsing what Matt is saying because he's so yell-y. What is the basis of his definition of "liberalism" with regard to anarchists? Sorry my ASD brain just isn't computing this.

    Idk if kissinger carking it counts, but that was a wonderful moment

    Edit: I'm changingy answer to when everyone came to commemorate the loss of comrade biggs biggs. I hadn't been around on hb for that long, maybe a year or so, and biggsposting in the general mega was a whole celebration of the fuzzy friends in our lives. Theres lots of lovely animals in the general mega who we all love

    Every time I get depressed and write out a long live journal blog post, I get a ton of support and love and it always helps me deal with shit. It happens like every other month so I appreciate it.

    I got a a couple of my own posts that come to mind.

    This post of a screenshot I took just moments before CTH got banned on reddit

    edit: wow, do you know the story behind this? there was a post in /r/conspiracy that leaked that a bunch of subs were about to be nuked??

    also, so eternally jelly of everyone who caught the fuckin life raft, why did I have to touch grass during those crucial days

    I remember it vaguely and it was tied to an incredible neoliberal think piece about us

    https://networkcontagion.us/reports/network-enabled-anarchy/

    Drinking game challenge: take a shot every time the phrase "anarcho-socialist extremism" is used and try not to die.

    Also that is one of the corrections of all time. They had to issue a retraction after comparing us to fucking ISIS, but just changed the table to say Jihadist groups.

    Also that ? is doing a lot of heavy lifting.

    Also here is a screenshot someone took while the trans thank you/we about to get banned thread was still cached. This was the last thing I saw on the old subreddit, I was posting in that thread when I refreshed the page and it was gone.

    Half the convos in the trans mega come to mind. From supporting and listening to each other, to talking about fun queer games, to heavy flirting, and of course accelerating each others gender ^^
