Yeah I totally agree. This space has a lot to offer that others don’t.

Hexbear is fine.

We’re comfy.

Changing the name of the comms is an easy decision, but trying to amputate comms that perform a useful function for bonding and cathartic relief is a step too far. We need to face the fact that hexbear as a community isn’t especially erudite compared to other leftist spaces - our main aspect is providing comfort and awareness in the face of what is currently a world that stands against us. That’s an important function. We shouldn’t be damaging ourselves in attempts to appease lemmylibs.

Given some of the recent history, sometimes seems like we have a transphobic mod/admin problem, not a transphobic user problem.

I think the real site culture change we need is to stop the admins cosying up with libs.

If any of the instances were upset at things in the dunk tank, it’s probably because they are NOT our allies. Why appease them?

Hexbear is only federated with communities we’re compatible with. We’re in a cosy spot. Users are generally comfy, kind, happy. Hexbear is a nice bubble of sanity and occasionally an excellent effort post grows out of that.

This is not the vanguard party. This is a commie bar / working mans club. We don’t need more serious leftists spaces. We need more cosy leftist spaces.

Agreeing with the idea to call it something like the_hog_pen.

Either way, I understand the admins opinion, but I think they should pay attention to community opinions. The space is valued even if not by everyone.

Emulating a conscience might just be too much to ask from them.

Liberals will always let you down.

At least 2 is a safe bet.

Do tell, sounds interesting

Stalemate is when one side kidnaps people off the street to die within a month, while the other side uses one year renewable contracts.

Entire chatgtp data centers dedicated to clapping like seals and propping up techbros egos.

Fascism now - Kamala

Fascism later (maybe) - Trump

they can also be used for listening for vascular bruit.

Thanks for the babies-first-civics lesson.

Please leave your democratic seal of approval for more dead children in your local ballot box, rather than regurgitating it especially for us.

Brilliant idea. I’m sure he’ll be the first to sign up to work for the council or the police for free.

I hope this is a minor face saving strike by the entity, and our Iranian, Syrian, and Lebanese comrades stay safe tonight.

The problem with keeping radars off is that SEAD weapons are usually paired up with something intended to hit the site if it stays dark, such as a cruise missile, drone, or long range glide bomb.

It could be that there was no crash in Washington and they just delayed the announcement of a hornet shoot down months ago. It could partly be why they’ve swapped up to F-35 and B-2 bombing.

You’re not the only one.

Many people have tuned out the past couple of days to avoid suffocating.

The hallway is already the bare minimum width for fire/medical emergencies without the bikes there. It’s not reasonable in any way. It’s also not the responsibility of the person being endangered to find a solution.

Edit:

Actually I’d go further. Safety codes are the bare minimum commons responsibility we have to each other. If someone values their convenience over your safety, they don’t deserve your consideration, only your contempt.

By the time the west has gone through its collapse phase, and begun to try something new socially and economically, it’s going to be so far be behind.

Even from a purely nationalist chauvinist angle, neoliberalism has been an unmitigated disaster.
