Feel like that hasn't happened in a while.

I miss them deeper-sadness

I still routinely conduct ideological tests on Hexbear though.

I'll take the contrary position, I find reading a dozen dunks of ppb and other derivative roasts cringe. Feels like the "two minute hate". Yeah yeah I know. I just don't like being mean.

The gap in understanding was really something to behold, like being Dracula and every once in a while some villager shows up with a wooden crucifix and some prayed-over creek water, thinking they're gonna be the one to banish the monster.

Actually you tankies are more like voldemort and I'm the legendary guy with the scar who's here to maintain the status quo

We know that JK Rowling didn’t originally intend Harry to be a cop because if she had she would have named him Thumble Wifebeater

I liked the bit I had going during election season where I just linked them the last person I argued with, since they all said the same. Ended having a link-chain of 8 or so.

Honestly I almost feel like we should loosen the mod policy to let some back in. It was a good bonding exercise for us, I felt like we all got along better when we had Libs to dunk on.

[-] REgon@hexbear.net 4 points 10 hours ago

I've said this since forever. People talk about hexbear pre-federation as if it was a good place. It was stale, full of people arguing over rocks and when they weren't doing that they were posting about how much better a site this is than Reddit.

You can just go outside of hexbear to lemmy dot ml and get the same thing.

[-] WIIHAPPYFEW@hexbear.net 17 points 15 hours ago

it’s not as fun when you’re trying to make it happen on purpose imo marisad

yeah but i cant go there with my @hexbear.net username so that they all tremble in indignation

[-] trinicorn@hexbear.net 20 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

you can! lemmy.ml is run by commies who are just less strict moderators than we are, so they're still federated. Just turn your front page on here to "All" instead of "Local" or subscribed

Do you think the name evilHexbeardotnetALT@[x] will get approved if one tries?

[-] SovietBeerTruckOperator@hexbear.net 18 points 16 hours ago
  1. I'm very non-confrontational IRL

  2. There's actual consequences for this behavior IRL, like losing friends, jobs, getting the cops called on you

If everybody gets paid the same, what's the incentive to be a doctor?

[-] SovietBeerTruckOperator@hexbear.net 34 points 16 hours ago

Idk, Cuba seems to pull it off.

[-] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 36 points 16 hours ago

Yeah by forcing people to become doctors at gunpoint. Slave doctors are still slaves

[-] DinosaurThussy@hexbear.net 29 points 15 hours ago

I would have thought this was too hamfisted if I hadn’t heard Rand Paul say it almost verbatim

[-] Future_Honkey@hexbear.net 22 points 16 hours ago

Anime tells me a slave doctor would be metal asf tho

Me too, dunking is fun. We ban them too quickly now and also everyone knows to stay away from us by now

[-] gramxi@hexbear.net 30 points 15 hours ago

now they just make up shit about us to get mad in their defederated instances

I kinda miss it too. It always amused me to see them come in here with a smug attitude to own the tankies, and then get dunked on relentlessly. But maybe it's just me and my frustration at the state of things in the West which causes me get some sort of gratification from it.

[-] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 16 points 14 hours ago

Same. Kind of feel defederation was the wrong move.

I could take a shift as the lib

[-] Sulvor@hexbear.net 20 points 15 hours ago

Thanks, I really needed a break

[-] SovietBeerTruckOperator@hexbear.net 23 points 16 hours ago

Maybe we should have one bit account that just posts lib takes in every thread, that'd be fun.

[-] ProletarianDictator@hexbear.net 20 points 15 hours ago

Neera Tanden was already banned

[-] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 13 points 14 hours ago

Did they get banned? I knew it had been a while since I'd last seen them. I just figured they were busy trying to coup Iran.

[-] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 23 points 16 hours ago

We already do it's

[-] Future_Honkey@hexbear.net 13 points 15 hours ago

Like the beauocracy but intentionally bad? Maybe that's the part that bit was missing

[-] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 20 points 16 hours ago

I feel like I'm going to have to edit a /s into all these posts for the next time someone goes through my post history
