Hexbear has a rich history of doing weird bits that stop being funny after like 2 minutes, long before we finally federated with the rest of lemmy, this one started pretty recently
The deep lore is that we used to have main, then they took it away for reasons I can't remember (to encourage people to use other comms instead of sticking everything in main, maybe?), then they brought it back recently, but with the joke that you have to say "main."
I think they just stopped enforcing it altogether for the most part. A couple months ago they were removing comment after comment, post after post because it didn't have "main"
Ok I gotta admit I LOVE this conspiracy please post more like this
main
Why are people saying main?
Weird rules on this comm. I think it only applies to posts and not comments though.
That's so odd lol
