These bigoted, ignorant scum will never listen to anything. They are politically illiterate infants with an allergic reaction to reading.
They have ruined a safe space cultivated and cared for, they have turned this place into a new reddit.
I had a dude in my private messages going on about how I was both mutilating myself and other children. Many more people on hexbear have had similar experiences, with these worthless ignorant scum popping in to deliver the political equivalent of a giant shit.
As your friends, comrades, and people you say you defend get slurred at, dehumanized, and harassed please ask yourself:
Is it worth it?
I have the answer, I know you know it as well:
No its not
I used to think otherwise
I was a fool
its not worth a few laughs
even if you dunk all you want, that doesn't take away the knife those people put in our backs.
These bigots, fascists, and NATO liberals are as worthless offline as they are here, why should we give them any attention. They are worth less than the dirt beneath our fingernails. Why should we poison ourselves with their influence? We don't make any room for them offline, why should we not online?
And really
How many essays have your written?
How many sources have you combed through?
How many times have you explained the most basic facts of reality?
How many attempts at good faith?
Only for them to dismiss it in their stupidity. They don't read it, they just crumble and divert back to the programming these little shits trust in more than God.
For every time there is a good faith user, there are a dozen scumbag fascists. And most of the time, the "good faith one" just reverts back to their old shit.
Do you really think losing any member of the hexbear or lemmygrad community, longtime members or not, is worth a few good dunks?
I don't believe a small chance of gaining a new user is worth alienating an entire section of the community. The vast majority of those idiots are lost causes. If they are interested, the can just make an account and ask in good faith.
Is posting a meme to "own the liberals" worth your comrades getting more trauma from bigots harassing them?
No its not.
you've had your laugh, but it should end
Ban them all, SJW, lemm.ee, lemmy, the programmer nazi edglords. Keep Lemmygrad.
Defederate from those communities. We shouldn't sacrifice our own for more clicks. For having to subject ourselves to the opinions of people thoroughly brainwashed? We aren't reddit. We came here to get away from that. I'm sick of this. We are sick of this.
End it now
nah, the userbase didn't come here to get away from fighting tooth and nail with people online, it was excluded from that and banished to this place.
what you are seeing is a homecoming.
I hid on hexbear after lemmygrad was having some issues
I've been kind of amazed at how many grad names I've recognized since federating. The comrades were coming from inside the house
hexbear was a chapo refuge like lemmygrad was a refuge for GenZedong/GenZhou/ShitLiberalsSay
How do hex users post things like this? Or do they all have them saved? Maybe a sticky?
We have something like over a thousand custom emotes that can be posted with :emote-name-here:, which autofills to uploading an emote as an image.
it's a custom emoji thing, I don't know the back end of it at all, but they're all ascribed names (some very opaque), and it's just a process of memorising them basically. We are very online
the actual function is
:emoji-name:Thank you I'll look into it :)
if you click on the little smiley above the text entry box for posts/comments it opens a picker which can be used to browse all of the emotes, and can do more advanced searching, based on tags/keywords not just the title
I've had real poor results trying to load that many emoji for viewing before lmao, I just search :wordstrings: instead
they do struggle to all load but if you're having trouble finding one it can find things that the short code syntax can't (when the name is too obscure) because it searches by tags as well as just the literal title of the emote
If you look on our side when open the comment box there's a little smiley face button that has all our emojis. We can also type a colon and search for the emojis
Like for that one I typed ":themo" and it popped up since the full name is : the-more-you-know :
Our devs implemented custom emojis, on our end we either type :emojiname: and it gives suggestions as you are typing or use the emoji picker from the text box (which is becoming bigger and bigger as more are added).
you never asked for this...
