At least quarantine that shit to the dunk tank.

I'm not on hexbear to spend all my time thinking about libs lol, I'm on hexbear because I like hexbear. I like the riffs, and the topics, and the cool knowledgeable users who post stuff I would never see otherwise. I've learned a ton here over the years, and it really feels like a wholly unique space on the internet.

yes please! I wanna talk about the news, not meaningless anonymous usernames and text boxes on internet forums.

I agree. It's too easy. Some of them are funny but for the most part I wish my front page would return to interesting news and left wing hot takes.

I could try to kickstart the machines in the hot take factory again.

One sec:

Heartbeat is low-key fascistic with its emphasis on a prelapsarian view of "the good old days", likewise for Happy Days and any other TV show set in or around the 60's.

Was that hot enough? If not I could pick another British drama/sitcom that no one cares about to call fascist.

Yeah, if you wanna dog on someone, use the modlog. They've already cast the first stone so you can really go in swinging.

People post that outside of the dunk tank? Wack

Also not really a fan of when someone says some dumb shit and a score of hexbears descend like vultures to all get their super cool dunk in. Most of these replies contribute fuck all, often enough it's just bears replying to each other long after anyone else, and it bloats threads, making them less readable and keeping them hanging in the sort.

Act like you've been there before. It's like in a twitch chat when there's something obvious to say and a hundred people fall over themselves to be the special little poster whose comment gets attention.

Once a couple people have replied to an offending comment, just move on. Really think about whether whatever you want to say hasn't been communicated already.

I personaly love it. Because my usual experience in social media is the libs mobing me. Its nice to be at the other end for once.

i use the site less because of this, the posts have gotten a lot less enjoyable now that everyone's whining about libs all the time

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

That's also a big component I disliked about federation, the zoo showcasing of bad opinion havers turned into overdrive, when there are more insidious propagandists to look at and be amused or annoyed by.

I wish there were fewer screenshots of people saying really reallly really dumb things.

The world is a big place, of course some very stupid things will be said every day. We should focus our attention away from that.

[-] [email protected] 17 points 2 years ago

More and more people are saying this

[-] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago

That's it. I'm defederating the site. With or without the mods' will.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago

i genuinely cannot agree enough
