What happened on the new liberal hellsite

[-] [email protected] 36 points 5 months ago

I think this explains it: https://techcrunch.com/2024/12/13/bluesky-is-at-a-crossroads-as-users-petition-to-ban-jesse-singal-over-anti-trans-views-harassment/

As I understand it, they’re refusing to ban Jesse Singal, despite him violating the TOS by engaging in targeted harassment of trans people, which means they’re basically sanctioning transphobia on the platform.

Hi - I’ll probably be quiet for a bit while I get the lay of the land, but this seems like a really nice community 😊

[-] [email protected] 23 points 5 months ago

This is by far the most pleasant online community I've ever been in. Everyone is super sweet and there's absolute zero tolerance of transphobia which is awesome

New folks. theres lots of emojis. either click the smiley face on the bar above where you're texting, between the chain link thingy and the portrait thingy, or when you're familiar with what you want to emoji type a colon and without hitting space type a random word to have a box pop up with words associated with it. Example type the following and choose a random emoji ---> :Cat

I chose this one thurston

image to show where button is

you can also upload image avatars and account banners by going to account settings.

Hihi!! I'm really happy to see a social media platform that doesn't give into fascists' demands and lets them just exist there. Or just let them run free. This place seems very nice :D

Hello! catgirl-salute Hope you enjoy yourself and stuff

[-] [email protected] 29 points 5 months ago

Here to post a link to this week's Trans Megathread that is pinned on the front page for those interested. There are also other pinned posts for people in other communities, as well as the News (serious) and General (serious and unserious) megathreads for everyone. /c/badposting is where we go to post the worst (or best?) jokes we have, so please don't take it as your only impression.

Welcome from the Bureaucracy! We're an account shared by multiple posters with no relation or knowledge of each other outside our own posts.

And please consider joining the official Hexbear trans Matrix chat room if you’re into that sort of thing. It’s a great chat room full of great people: https://matrix.to/#/#tracha:chapo.chat

Also, here’s shameless plug for the introductions comm if you feel like introducing yourself (no pressure tho): https://hexbear.net/c/howdy

Take your beanis and your standard-issue mechanical keyboard and head to the posting mines, new recruits 8^7^

Hi Sage and all new hands on deck! Welcome to hexbear!

[-] [email protected] 20 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Happy to be here! thanks for being cool with me dming y’all out of the blue about this lol

[-] [email protected] 21 points 5 months ago

thank you so much for the recommendation, Sage! I didn't realize how much my heart was starting to get squeezed every time I logged on over at Bluesky until I saw how chill this place is. I fight every single day irl to advocate for my crew and it used to be a soft place to land when I got home but now it feels like I'm logging in and fighting the same old bullshit there too when I'm just tryna shitpost and make friends. I'm very excited to explore here! You're the best! 🫶

[-] [email protected] 20 points 5 months ago

Hi Sage! Is there a way to view your bluesky post without having an account?

[-] [email protected] 25 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I had to scroll through like 12 pages of replies to find this because we're too popular

https://subium.com/profile/trans.bsky.social/post/3lda6gromkc2h

Also someone screenshotted us in the replies. big-cool

[-] [email protected] 20 points 5 months ago

We love to see it

It was your recommendation that brought me here. This place is a little different, but so far I love it.

badposting is a comm where you post badly


This is not a [email protected] alternative. This is not a [email protected] alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.

Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?


Rules:

  1. Do not post good posts.
    • Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
    • Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
  2. This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
  3. This rule intentionally left blank.
  4. If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.

Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo
