Pros: it will be exciting and engaging to see someone with a federated name and the notice their opinion being dogshit

Cons: mathematically proven to not have cons

I mean, pretty much anytime we let any libs in here, they inevitably do something damaging to our more vulnerable comrades

Probably for the best that we carry out the occasional raid on them rather than let them skitter in the rafters like mice

Perhaps my math was off...

[–] farting_weedman@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago

I have a better idea:

Federate with a lib server and make everyone on hexbear a mod.

[–] Cherufe@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have no interest in seeing dogshit opinions just to dunk on them

Just bring good posts

Honestly, my main gripe with Hexbear is the amount of dunk tank type content. I come here because I'm tired of seeing those shitty opinions. Not that I don't enjoy it from time to time, but it's more the proportion. It's the junk food of posting.

This place has so many knowledgeable comrades posting useful resources and helping people learn that I'm willing to drudge through the birdsite screenshots to find the nugget of gold.

Sorry lol.

I find being able to bring bad takes here and get people agreeing that theyre bad very cathartic.

I think you are writing from a good impulse, but what we really want are raiding parties going to other places and improving them.

Hell yeah we can do Hexbear viking stalin-shining

Those first few days were wild. They were so legendary that liberals still talk about us in hushed tones on instances we can't even see or post on. They accuse one another of being secret hexbears, it's great.

[–] autismdragon@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago

Ok the fact that our mere existance is so frightening to them that they accuse each other of being secret Hexbears fills me with glee.

[–] Egon@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

Me and two other users kept some shitty meme at the top of the page for 3-4 days because we kept dunking on an ever-increasing influx of libs lol. It was great, one of them didn't understand the concept of "source critique".

The few days where lemm.ee wasn't sending any activity federated servers really put a damper on things. I had to make a hexbear account just to get my fix. Don't tell anyone

I commented in another post but there aren't any other lemmy instances out there that arent:

1.) Already federated with us 2.) Blocking us 3.) We aren't federating because for various reasons including (large amount of reactionaries that threaten the safety of our marginalized users, host content that is bad (porn or loli), or have a site feature that invalidates one of ours)

At the current moment when you look at the https://join-lemmy.org/instances

Lol why did a solar punk instance block us? Guess for the same reason a supposed inclusive one did.

Really not hopeful about the future when these existential threats still aren't enough for people to examine why it might make sense to form coalitions with communists or other flavors of actual leftists

[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh comrade, I was totally joking. Rate limiting the number of libs coming into the instance such that they'd be rare is an unfeasible farce.
