On this week this niche leftist forum was first launched (its was the 24th or 25th i think) Formed from the Chapotraphouse subreddit remnants that survived the reddit ban over the calls of violence against confederate slave owners, the first admins decided to use Lemmy as its base. Originally called Chapo.chat (ChaCha) Hexbear has grown into one of the biggest instances in the lemmyverse.

In this last 5 years hexbear has survived many diffent events from numerous struggle sessions, mod clique-users conflicts, wrecker incursions from other instances and sites, this image dprk-soldier, a decent amount of fedidrama with other instances and the domain crisis, we still thrive with over 5 million comments and 375k posts.

I still continue my dictatorial rule over the general megathread for now over 4 years now, this time locked in the chapo comm so it can be more easily moderated, c/indigenous has now grown to 750 subs which im very happy plus now i take care of the empoc mega which has been pretty chill so far.

I still really enjoy the fedidrama, it fun to see all the fedilibs always thinking about hexbear despide the fact that they are on defederated instances and they can ust ignore us, we live rent free on their minds

just found out about RompHims. Oof.

I honestly like and appreciate the look. Girls shouldn't be the only ones allowed to have rompers.

Also why are rompers gendered? SMH

The overly bold patterns can look hideous but a nice olive green or something would be fine.

Maybe this is my cracker side coming through.

I'm not a fan of the patterns or the fit. Every model they show wearing them looks like they have a lumpy shape because their waist gets lost in the fabric. Most jumpsuits avoid this by having a belt or something.

Maybe that's all it needs, a belt or a two-tone/pattern style that creates definition between the upper and lower body, just as it is it looks really bad and that's probably why they're all on sale at 85% off right now.

Probably a better look than a Romper. It breaks up the pattern/color block by having the sleeves come from a different garment. Or you can stay cool by not wearing a shirt.
