"Could be the ratchet effect. Lemmygrad and Hexbear are both explicitly Marxist-Leninist, but .ml is explicitly FOSS and Privacy based, just with Marxist-Leninist admins."

This was back when I tried to get PugJesus to try to understand how deeply unserious they were, and generally tried to appear less threatening to liberals to hopefully lead some to question liberalism or even read theory

(Spoiler: it didn't work)

Specifically, it was in reference to Lemmy.world becoming more and more right-wing as the target boogeyman shifts from more overt to less overt leftism, especially since ml removed leftist from its description.

Kinda funny seeing it up there now that I've made a Hexbear account

Getting a tagline is Hexbear poster Valhalla

I have a few from the original tagline thread right after the site opened and another one from just posting good

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Nice! Love the taglines, a lot are really funny

[–] EllenKelly@hexbear.net 6 points 11 months ago

^ Lol make this a tagline

i have a couple, one that i remember most is referring to hexbear as pink news but pinkoer after we had a time period where we posted like... only lgbt news/stuff for a couple of days

How does someone spend so much time just making or finding such shit memes.

Or just not understand anything

Basically the Jeff Tiedrich of Lemmy. Insufferable liberalism.

Fun fact: dig through the linked thread if you can, and PugJesus even claims to have read Lenin, yet in other threads can't help themselves from denouncing even the Black Panthers for being ML.

At least Jeff has rare funny moments

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 8 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Fair, I do love a good Jeff tweet. PugJesus is basically a dedicated left-puncher while Jeff punches Trump at least. PugJesus is non-stop annoying, while Jeff is just cringe in the way liberals are.

Nobody hates leftists more than PJ here, not even the genuine fascists seem to put as much of an effort into left punching

[–] ashinadash@hexbear.net 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I shudder at the idea of seeing one of mine taglined. All the comments I've made that people reply "tagline" to are the most intensely autistic things I post.

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 2 points 11 months ago

Yea, I personally think I've written far better lines than this one, haha, but it is what it is.

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

One of my gags is on one of the sidebar for a board

I'm very proud of anti-nautilism

[–] bbnh69420@hexbear.net 3 points 11 months ago

lol I just noticed that the other day, congrats

[–] jimmyjohnsandwichsix@hexbear.net 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I hope one day to get a tagline

[–] Aradina@lemmy.ml 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I hope I don't. That'd be so terrible, I'd just be so mad

[–] PointAndClique@hexbear.net 3 points 11 months ago

I got taglined and I was like lmao they wemt with that one?

[–] Black_Mald_Futures@hexbear.net 7 points 11 months ago

there's a few of mine that always give me a good laugh

[–] Egon@hexbear.net 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I've written so many bangers, so much unhinged shit, yet none of it has been made a tagline. I can only assume this is because hexbear is a psyop specifically made to make me a little bit frustrated

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I think it's precisely because I often say less than entirely based shit on my .ml account to soften my anti-liberalism for liberals, in the hopes that they may actually read theory, that this one got the tagline. Like, of course lemmy.ml is going to have MLs, lol

It's like in Dune, trying to go slower so the defenses don't pick it up and I can land a strike

[–] FearsomeJoeandmac@hexbear.net 3 points 11 months ago

I have one I think.. it's the rude little dog turd one

[–] Grownbravy@hexbear.net 3 points 11 months ago

It’d be nice if one of mine were a tagline, but also, i like the obscurity
