Seriously, they’re doing my bits for me!
Lemmygrad on steroids
Our grad comrades catching way to many strays since we federated.
The other day someone called hexbear “lemmygrad-lite”. Moving up in the world ig
What’s up with Hexbear? They think everything I post is Western Propaganda, why would they ever think that?
That was the nudge I needed to make an account over here. I joined midwest.social because it was an explicitly leftist server. I would have been very sad to lose access to the good posts here now that I know about them, and honestly I’m pretty baffled at the number of users native to that instance who are bitching about you all in that thread.
Welcome to the bear site! We’re happy to have you.
If you haven’t gotten a welcome glad to have you here.
It’s a little chaotic, there are struggle sessions, but so long as people come with actually open minds it’s generally incredibly friendly here.
One of us one of us
Welcome, please enjoy the fine selection of emojis
I also joined midwest.social because they claimed to be an explicitly leftist instance. It would be extremely disappointing if they defederate.

I can’t believe these willingly federated instances are brigading hexbear!
Don’t they know you’re supposed to only stick to your local instance and that anyone who comments from another instance is a bot?
As I understand it, Hexbear has existed for years before federating with the rest of the network. Someone commented a couple months ago about the closing of the Chapo Traphouse subreddit (2020, same as r/theDonfuck) and users moving there. I believe they already had a strong community before linking up with other instances.
I may be wrong on the details and welcome corrections. Hexbear users: I considered joining your instance when I was still a lurker. Try not to crucify me if I got anything wrong.
I offer you a fishe honored visitor!Yep, I think we added some features which broke compatibility with mainline lemmy and it took a while to merge back, but we’ve been around for 3 years.
It mostly was pronouns iirc
Our pronouns were too powerful for lemmy
looking for more pronouns to eat
I got in in this one early and have been having a lot of fun
Now that’s good slop
It’s funny this is the same user whose comment I replied to 10 hours ago telling them about Hexbear being one of the OG instances (which is why it has a lot of users), but they go ahead and make the same thinly veiled “omg they’re botting!” accusation 4 hours later in a whole ass post trying to sneak diss y’all in their home instance.
lots of bad faith actors
The way they tell it, you’d think everything from DW, to Fox, to Propublica, to straight up AP News articles, are all written by the same people.

I copied your post exactly without seeing it lmao
repeat CCP talking points while waving anyway anything even remotely reliable as Western propaganda.
Now this is dialectics
New copypasta just dropped
th they called us racist 
and neoliberals!Can someone please help my emoji game with some good ones to express exasperation?
If there’s something that conveys violent eye rolling it would be a bullseye
