Due to recent events and the discussion in the Amendments to the Code of Conduct post we are suspending provisional amendments to the Code of Conduct in specific regard to federation. As we continue to find our footing we may discuss this again.
The rule change in !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net prohibiting named posts of Admins and Moderators as well as direct links posts will remain for now.
Despite the suspension of the amendments, I encourage everyone to treat other others with good-faith unless they show otherwise, show considerable restraint in instance's meta posts, and abide by meta community post's requests to center discussion on local users.
Reminder that you must follow Hexbear and federated instances codes of conduct and posted sidebar rules for communities.
You may use this post to discuss further if you wish to
I love watching the phrase "no more half measures waltuh" becoming a hexbear joke in real time
All it took was me posting about rowing like a couple dozen times and I got some of y'all out there doin it, it makes a poster feel powerful i tell you what. Almost as powerful as I feel from all the rowing I've been doing
Hell yeah!! But you and I both know we gotta up those numbers!!!
I do need to figure out how to get a cheap rowing machine, the official machine of hexbear.
If you want a really really nice one i've heard of people getting that concept 2 one for 500ish used, but i don't know if it's worth it (that's 2x what mine cost lol). It's like 1k or more new, idk what justifies that at all lol
Just please be careful not to mess up your knees with it if your form isn't good you can and it's not fun
I think what I was doing wrong was not keeping my feet aligned with my knees. The rowing action can put weird pressure on your knees and in my experience this led to certain movements like climbing down stairs being very painful. I handled it in the worst imaginable way really never saw a doctor but realized the rowing was probably the issue and after I changed to exercising on an elliptical it eventually got better. Talked with an actual sports instructor about it years later and she thought this was probably what I was doing.
I have rowed a cumulative 442 miles over 4303 minutes of rowing according to the definitely accurate thing in my shitty rower! Mamma mia!
we're back in it. i'm putting on 5 leather jackets and opening my folder of sheldon reaction images
: NATO has a long history of genocidal imperialism, therefore it should be destroyed
: Get out of here you redfash authoritarian!
: I am going to dehumanize mentally disabled people and question the gender identity of trans people : Welcome friend! Thank god you're not a fucking TANKIE! 
Honestly trying to stay friends with blahaj caused me to have a real stick up my ass and much as I'd like to, part of me is glad it's off the table so I can chill. I can even go back to blocking the dunk tank since I don't really care if people start shit on other places, and I promise that's better for everyone.
Yeah I was giving it my best for the last week or so, calmly and in good faith going through it over and over with itchy liberals
I kept getting mad and goin off after a while, but damnit I tried!
I went full civility and somebody still accused me of all sorts of shit. Why even bother at that point?
You did a great job.
I'm still in that thread doing a bit of outreach since I've had some genuine interest and good feedback, but it's clear the trolls and
at anything left types are focusing on it now. There's been a big uptick in nonsense spam comments and possible alt accounts as a I've started seeing the same weirdly specific language, accusations, and references popping up across different accounts.
Our poor admins have spent so much time here that they forgot other spaces on the internet are full of shitty, irrational, cowardly people.
You give those lib fuckers an inch they take a mile
If they want to lie in the mud with pedophiles, racists and outright sociopaths that's not our problem, fuk em
@CARCOSA@hexbear.net thank you for trying to be diplomatic, i think youve handled this all remarkably well.
We love our big wet mods
i love starting trouble with an hyper active group of online posters, no way this can backfire on me in any way.
God, all my flowery language bore some beautiful fruit now that the time for peace is over.
We have the best mods, the best posters, and the best instance folks
