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

EDIT: okay, a shift-reload fixed it

VTuber postingHoly shit, Kson is saying VShojo hasn't paid her since last Septmber. Fucking wild. (Worth remembering that this presumably wouldn't include core streaming income, which is why she would have been able to last this long) She was preparing to leave this month already, and she doesn't expect to be paid (which, yeah, if they've been this financially fucked for this long...probably not wrong).

skimming the first issue of the native plant society publication I just joined and I learned about two (2!) rare local endemics. so i got two new botany quests but they're very much a step up in difficulty from my last one.

There is SO MUCH SKY for these fucking clouds to be but no it's just barely eclipsing the sun, lingering for forever, being replaced by another, for 40 minutes straight so far. Every time i think the cloud is gonna fuck off and let me get some sun it's replaced by some bullshit out of nowhere. Is this purgatory

There's an american lib mansplaining immigration politics on this european metro. It feels weird to hear about how mexican immigrants pay american taxes so they're ok or how the republicans have moved the Overton window to allow for racism in the discourse on my commute.

@lelkins@lemmygrad.ml I gave the brown one a belly rub and a little hug. She breathed through her nose kind of kind a purr but not quite. I told her she's a good girl. She did not move a muscle in this interaction.

The white one seemed excited I was coming near and extended his nose up for some neck scritches, which he received. He then turned his nose in to give my patting hand a little hug between his head and his torso.

When I was a boy, a man could afford to buy a house, support two families, and enjoy a retirement solely on the income from a job stealing children's breakfast cereal

I remember watching Monk like 12 years ago and that I liked it, but I don't remember any specifics about the show at all, so I could rewatch it.

Anyone watch it recently? Is it actually decent or was my underdeveloped taste inhibiting my opinion?

Lucy from Boonta Vista has another podcast where she watches through it, if that would help at all. Other than that I have no idea

Edit: it's called Savante Garde, and apparently they watch Monk and The Good Doctor as well

what is Scaled supposed to do? As far as I can tell it's the same as new but sorted a little differently.
