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)

[–] wolfinthewoods@hexbear.net 12 points 1 month 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.

acab includes the red pikmin

Lemmy.ml was constant struggle sessions, lol

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

[–] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] SevenSkalls@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Does Lemmy have it's own EU instance now?

[–] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

Nope, only some country instances

[–] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah I noticed that when we refederated lol

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago

Yep, they're somehow even more smug.

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

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 30 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Ooh! We should maybe defederate every winter

[–] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 22 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That would actually be a fucking great bit.

[–] boiledfrog@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago

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

[–] AntifaSuperWombat@hexbear.net 40 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] Diva@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] AntifaSuperWombat@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] Diva@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

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

[–] Kuori@hexbear.net 33 points 1 month ago

unbearable

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

Absence makes the heart grow communister

[–] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 28 points 1 month ago

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

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 24 points 1 month ago

You could join

[–] MaxOS@hexbear.net 23 points 1 month ago

kept ya waiting, huh? hexbear-punished

[–] ggtdbz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 1 month 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.

[–] boiledfrog@hexbear.net 14 points 1 month ago

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

[–] propter_hog@hexbear.net 21 points 1 month ago

Good to see you, too, comrade

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