Just wanted to share a thread for those who don't regularly venture out of the bear site. Can't cross-post since it's defederated. It's small but has some numbers about community counts, active users, etc and links to more info from https://lemmyverse.net/. Thought it was notable that Hexbear shows up no matter how you sort it.

OP image is community count sorted by active users in the last month.

    I remember the thread where we just posted Bush-era image macros. It's just the continuation of Something Awful - Twitter - here.

      I think the average HB user could speak conversational 1337sp34k if asked by historians trying to restore that dead language.

        "Finally, someone that can finally translate this ancient document!"

        It's just the ASCII art header for a gamefaqs guide from 1998.

          "...and this, what does this mean? Our best scholars are unable to decipher it. Is it a code? a hieroglyph? Or a heretofore unknown related language? We have deciphered the text below as referring to "soi", is it about a bountiful harvest? A precursor to the Soy "Jack"?"

          "Hmm. Yes, I believe this is what the people at the time refer to as a "Roflcopter". The caption "my roflcopter goes soi soi soi" does not refer to the soy plant nor the soyjack, but an onomatopoeia of a helicopter, a now defunct method of air travel with an abnormally high fatality rate"
