i was getting hex withdrawal. I didn't even use Lemmy that much while you were unfederated from the URL thing and would read from your actual webpage. most other instances feel unbearable these last few months.

I can't begin to imagine what it must have been like for you un-hexed folks having to deal with the brain rot while we were in a state of utter calm and unruffled repose. pikmin-chillin (If you ignore the bizarre struggle sessions)

I was on db0 and mander for a while, keep coming back because of the rampant liberalism everywhere else (not in those two instances, necessarily; they're actually both pretty great, but by being federated to almost everyone, it really opens you up to a lot of bullshit)

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago

lemmy.world and a few other instances are getting pretty bad with the anti-communist hysteria and rampant liberalism lately. It seems like liberals from Reddit end up at .world mostly. There's been a huge uptick in posts calling lemmy and hexbear users tankies, and stoking hate and division against leftist communities. It sucks, because up until a few months ago the fediverse was mostly chill about that kind of reddit-esque fearmongering against leftists.

It's all the usual stuff, but there was a big influx of European nationalists from Reddit, which is somewhat different from the typical USian liberalism

there was a "buy european" trend in the euro subs and since reddit is USA made and Lemmy EU made plus a new reddit crackdown that made a bunch of people migrate to lemmy

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Does Lemmy have it's own EU instance now?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Nope, only some country instances

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah I noticed that when we refederated lol

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

Yep, they're somehow even more smug.

The bear hibernates, but spring always wakes her up hexbear-shining

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Ooh! We should maybe defederate every winter

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That would actually be a fucking great bit.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

Each spring we can get to other instances and just post hexbear-shining

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You could also make an account here. No hex withdrawal anymore. Just saying... lea-finger-guns

I was getting the shakes and had to get my slop feral-hog

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You deserve it, considering the amount of slop that you produced on your other account. catgirl-smug

I do like a roll in the mud sometimes, local hexbear has been a nice mental health break squirtle-jam

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 week ago

unbearable

almost like they were missing a bear of some kind... kyle

Absence makes the heart grow communister

Gonna echo other comrades and say join us!

It's a nice cozy space free from liberalism (most of the time) for when you don't want to have your feed flush with the worst reddit-tier memes and nato circlejerking in places like .world etc

You could join

kept ya waiting, huh? hexbear-punished

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I may take issue with 15-20% of what’s considered mainstream on this instance, but fucking hell, you guys are the actual only legitimately funny people on here. The CTH memes hit like nothing else.

Especially as the IDF started bombing within (distant! Bombs are loud!) earshot again, the latest big wave of Reddit refugees on .world are trying to work through their programming to both-sides obvious crimes. It’s a relief to see people from all over being extremely understanding of the situation.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago

Both sides of one side that drops bombs and one that gets the bomb dropped on.

Good to see you, too, comrade

We went on vacation to Wokeopolis. We came back with fresh, seething hatred for capitalism.
