you know, the times everyone comes together to support or celebrate
that post yesterday about TC69 & BrookeBaybee was pretty great 🥰 I wasn't here back in the day to interact with them, but they're legendary, and seeing everyone's delight about their romance was heartwarming
tell me about the ones you hold dear
PS: you're the best and I love you ❤️

It's really fun to see users on here who declare they came from elsewhere in the Lemmyverse, ignored the boogyman narrative, had a cool conversation with our valiant posters, and eventually decided we were so friendly and welcoming that they wanted to stay. I see someone declaring that basically every week now, it's great to see the proof that you can actually have more comrades by means of nice conversations
Those posters warm my heart.
Happened to me
Same here. Although for me it was kind of cheating, since I was on the subreddit before and had no idea it moved here. Once I found that out, the bears had a leg up on dragging me here from my other Lemmy Alt lol. But I found that out only after hexbear were depicted as a boogie man to my other Lemmy account, and after I had a conversation with a couple about stuff.
that was me too! I found Hexbear because someone made a post on midwest.social right after federation, asking if midwest.social was going to preemptively defederate like lemmy.world, which brought in a bunch of drama and bitching about Hexbear that prompted me to come check it out and then make an account, and it became my lemmyverse main within a week or two.
this place is the best ❤️
