On this day, 4 years ago the site was first launched (then a day later the first post made), Formed from chapotraphouse remnants, the old admins decided to make a site using Lemmy as its base. Originally called chapo.chat, Hexbear has grown into one of the biggest instances in the lemmyverse.
Despite various sitewide struggle sessions, wrecker incursions from other forums and federation drama, Hexbear has keep growing strong in its 4th year, now with 4 megathreads, over 4 million comments, 300k posts and much more.
Its being great running the general megathread for a bit over 3 years, since i took over i have tried to get it mostly in time and just one unlike during the old times, i like to think i have done a decent job, plus i have also added a bit of reading material to them so you nerds can learn from them and i like to think you have been reading them 
, its also nice to see the new megathreads how they have slowing grown up to the size to the old general mega in the time of the old admins.

Also 24 hours after this is posted the admins are closing the site for a day, sorry
so hawk tuah girl is just someone who suggested spittin on a d durin oral? that's literally all? idk man thats pretty vanilla but mb there's somethin im missing here
Yeah but she said it in a funny way. "Hawk tuah you gotta spit on that thang"
tru she did say it a lil silly
it's a cis het horny meme, about as nuanced and interesting as you would expect
I haven't watched the video just because of how fast it went viral and the people I saw sharing it. Like, wow, a cishet woman talking about spitting during oral, how revolutionary, how brave. The wokies are all in shambles
so wait cishet women having a sexuality somehow owns woke??? the chud mind makes less and less sense everyday lol
IDK, that's what it felt like until she said she doesn't like Trump during an interview and all her "fans" turned against her
so weird lol you'd think they'd be freaked out by a woman being that open about her sexuality cishet or not. oh well best not to dwell too long on their fuckin weird ass fragile neuroses.
they specifically like that it's sucking dick she's taking about.
She didn't even say she disliked Trump. She just said she wouldn't give him head.
im trying to keep up with the younger zoomer memes so i feel less
I don't think it's a zoomer meme. Someone called it a coworker meme, which seems accurate lol. Like in the style of content it is (those dumb youtube shorts where people interview randos to get funny reactions) it's not even particularly notable lol
Yeah I was completely out of the loop until the discourse around it came to Hexbear
Yeah. The most baffling part is conservatives being like "she ended pride". Which adds to my belief that their entire worldview is just dated comedy bits (i.e. it's homophobic for straight people to get attention during pride).
Didn’t Monica Lewinsky chew on altoids?
