Maybe it's just a subjective thing from my own limited perspective, but I believe it anyway: with federated liberals showing up and really giving us something to dunk and clown on and generally to identify against, I haven't seen an in-house Hexbear struggle session and I haven't even had anyone get weird on me in direct messages, make several "not an alt" alt accounts to scream at me for a few hours/days, or anything like that since the federating happened.
In that way, indirectly and unintentionally, I'm happy that federating made Hexbears come together and be a bit less shitty.
I'm being told that the liberals on this site have given up and fostered camaraderie - that's fine! I'll still post inflammatory garbage.
(we really need one of these as a :trump-tweet: emote lol)
