I'm not sure if I'll stick around, but I do wish I had learned of hexbear.net sooner so I could've seen more of the cozy pre-federation vibe.
The cozy pre-federation vibe is overrated. Pre-federation, we constantly had pointless struggle sessions like whether bidets are for middle class losers (they aren't) or whether stacking rocks destroys the local stream ecosystem (they do). The infamous struggle sessions that were before my time like the outside cat struggle session had people issuing death threats lol.
There was a weird pent-up level of resentment people had with each other. Since federation, we mostly went from internal struggle sessions to external lib dunking. The pent-up resentment was released on some shitty lib, but they 100% deserved it, so who cares.
