As the title says. I am willing to moderate it if need be, but I suppose there is better comrades out there for that job.

edit: also if 'eugene' style memes can get banned there for being """tankie adjacent""" we need a piracy comm on Hexbear.

    Isn’t this “celebration” premature?

      Yah, this makes me sad. I don’t understand some of the stuff that goes on in this instance (and I’ve never listened to Chapo) buuuuut there’s some based-ass sub…lemmies here.

      Are y’all federated with furry shit? I don’t want to switch to my other account but whatevz, I could manage.

        I think the big furry instances preemptively defederated us for being tankies or whatever

        We do have this though: https://hexbear.net/c/furry

        I was never a Chapo listener, and 1) the Hexbear consensus is that Chapo isn’t what it used to be anyway, and 2) Hexbear isn’t really very dirtbag in their leftism these days, and if it ever was that was before my time.

        I can’t speak to furry whatevers, you’ll have to see for yourself. I think there are way more instances defederated from Hexbear than the other way around.

          I’m not entirely sure how federation even works. If y’all defed, I’ll stop seeing yer posts, right?

            That’s the long and short of it, yes. You’d stop seeing our communities, posts, votes, and comment threads, meaning our comments and everyone’s replies to those comments.

          how is it not dirtbag? I've seen people get very aggro when talking to libs and rightwingers from other instances

            I’m not getting into some nerd-ass struggle session about the Merriam-Webster definition of dirtbag, LIB.

                There are a lot of inside jokes and it can take a while to calibrate one’s Poe’s Law-dar.

            I always thought the "dirtbag" in "dirtbag leftist" referred more to the use of slurs and bigoted/ablesist/etc language and less about the aggressiveness in their comments. shrug-outta-hecks

      not a celebration, but yeah a little premature. i still think a piracy comm is a good idea regardless of federation or defederation though.
