      Yes, but that's really underselling David Dees. Went from being a Sesame Street illustrator to making the most batshit edits I have ever seen. The Obama resurrecting Marx one is one of the tamer ones

                Last I heard they don't have the auto-complete thing like we do, but they can paste the whole image link that looks like ! [data-laughing](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/b6671e8e-7f34-45d6-82d3-509fe8a4d683.png "emoji data-laughing"

                As soon as you federated I could do that! But there is a catch, the method I coined as "cross site emoji posting" works by writing in emojis as text between colons, which then Hexbear converts it into emojis for Hexbaristas to view. And only Hexbaristas XD

                So my emojis are only visible to you, and others have to use their imagination. Including me. Most emojis I use I remember the names of by heart, other times I check their names in the ALL EMOJIS post on c/emoji.

                Here's the first post I used this method in: https://lemmygrad.ml/post/1187237

                As you can see I posted text, but on Hexbear it's an emoji.

                I'm also the person who submitted :rotato-chip:, :garf-chan:, :blu-team: and :red-team: to the site.

                As you can see I have extreme power many wish they could wield even as Hexbaristas. And I'm a dirty sectarian tankie from a different website :sicko-power:

      Dude, I love these edits, they really capture the breathless Nancy Grace horror of conservatism. Isn't this the same guy that made the edit of Jewish police vaccinating a kid at a roadside checkpoint?

        There's something about Dee's you don't typically see from conservatives, and that's some semblance of principles. Dees isn't a dishonest man, people who worked with him when he was younger say they believe he had untreated psychosis. For all his weird bigotry, he was protesting with Black Lives Matter because he was actually consistent with his anti-state beliefs. He was anti-vax, but the last comic he made before dying was about how the push to reopen after COVID was going to kill millions for a few bucks.

        I'm not defending his politics whatsoever, his comics are anti-semitic and ever form of bigoted under the sun. But there's a sincerity within it that makes it say more than it's trying to. Dees communicates the absurd fear of American conservatives concisely
