Jokes on you I created another Lemmy account! I WILL NOT TOUCH GRASS I REFUSE TO TOUCH GRASS!!!
My favorite genre of post right now is people incorrectly trying to time the downtime with their meta jokes
what the fuck am I supposed to do with myself
edit: I am fucking hyperventaliting
edit2: why i left the left - when hexbear abandoned me
edit3: im a zionist now
Sorry I'd rather touch grass.
No offense to lemee, I'd say the same thing to lemmygrad, lemmy ml, and pretty much anything else.
Why do you dislike lemmygrad? Just curious, I had a pretty good impression of them.
I'm hexbearian through and through. If I can't post on the bear I might as well go out into the woods and look for a real one
I hate tankies and prefer to hang around socdem subreddits like The Hex
what the fuck am I supposed to do with myself
I WILL NOT LOG OFF
I WILL NOT TOUCH GRASS
I WILL NOT STOP POSTING
Chuckling to myself, imagining the admins unplugging the servers and gingerly placing them unattended on some grass outside for 8 hours before taking them back and plugging them in again.
And somehow they just work better afterwards
please don't tell me you're shutting down because you found out I'm a liberal :(
Don't worry guys, I found an interim lemmy instance we can use
Show
lemmygrad must protect its beatiful garden from the jungle that is hexbear
Stocking up on supplies to prepare for the hexbear downtime. Go to the grocery store to find it packed with people who know they must do the same. A chaotic jungle as everyone fights for every scrap to prepare for an extended time with no posts.
Biden's America.
Thank you for choosing such a convenient time as to not disrupt me much. Next time if you don't mind you can start an hour or two earlier and I will sleep through the down time completely.
Until then thanks for making the best place on the internet better.
Closing down hexbear for a scheduled downtime isn't okay
I totally realize most people are going to agree with me here but I feel compelled to say that closing the website for a scheduled maintenance wasn't a very kind thing to do. We have seen TONS of posts from vulnerable populations talking about how this website is a source of support and humor in a dark time. Irony and dirtbagism aside, taking away that support with warning is not okay.
You can say I'm being silly, or humorless or reactionary. Whatever. I love pop girlies and I love this community. But sometimes I come home after dealing with ableism and our nightmare reality all day, and this website is one of many things that make me feel better. It wasn't a good feeling to find this website closed for the sake of upgrades. Maybe that's laughable or pathetic. But for me, it's true.
