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
Jokes on you I created another Lemmy account! I WILL NOT TOUCH GRASS I REFUSE TO TOUCH GRASS!!!
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.
Don't worry guys, I found an interim lemmy instance we can use
Show
My favorite genre of post right now is people incorrectly trying to time the downtime with their meta jokes
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
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.
I swear to God, all y'all in the comments, I'm the type of autistic that can't understand sarcasm and I'm being dragged over coals right now.
Oof I didn't know the closing the site down post was originally from you.
Will be picking up changes from

and

We are doing a long postponed upgrade to pictrs as well, which is what takes up the majority of the downtime.
nice, was going to ask when we upgrade to 0.19.5 just a day ago and it seems someone heard.. me... in my head.... hmm. you guys sure you're not the feds?
