    I wish there were less tag lines slandering hexbear. I know it's fun to joke about bad posts, but putting aggressive ones at the top of the page creates bad first impressions.

    Some reactionary sites love putting posts of people calling out how awful they are in their banners. So it may be not clear if we're making fun of how absurdly wrong the post is, or if we are reveling in it.

      This, and also fewer entire-ass posts would be nice. They're only funny when they're breaking the format; if there are too many, it becomes the format.

        idk the fact that two of the taglines are a whole page from blackshirts and reds and an entire copypasta shitpost about living in an overturned T34 in an abandoned junkyard in Wisconsin is pretty great.

          Those are definitely on the "keep" list.

      As a recent convert from lemmy.world, I can't say I wasn't confused when looking for a new instance.

        .world huh? what got you to come over here? Was it just their constant bleating about us that got you curious or what?

          I just needed to get out of there. The overbearing liberal presence was bad for my mental health and I was exhausted by their constant defense of genocide. Maybe it was always like that, but it felt like it was getting much worse over the last year. I browsed other instances a bit, but Hexbear is much more in line with my political views.

            Also, in case you missed it I implore you to go down this rabbit hole to see one of our finest moments and possibly the funniest thing that has ever happened.

            I feel that lol. This is like the only place I visit online anymore. I use twitter sometimes to keep up with world news stuff but every time I open the app I literally want to do self harm.

            Glad you found your way here though comrade. It's quite cozy even if we do get in a fair few very stupid arguments, but that's what family is for right?
