Hexbear started during the 2020 BLM protests, where cops were using social media and internet presence to track down activists. They are still doing this, but with less vigor than when police stations were burning down.

This included things like using tattoos on naked bodies, etsy store receipts etc.

Just before the r/cth ban, there was also a problem with chasers and leering objectification, and steps were taken to reduce thirst-posting and the like.

These things combined means that people don't post selfies or direct identifying information. People post their pets and artwork, but I know I have to make a decision about where and when I post things to make things non-trivial for cops or random chuds. I feel like a unique pet name, breed, and rough region could be enough to track someone down.

Even so, I think I'm bad at it. I feel like if someone knew me and read everything on hexbear they could ID me pretty easily (and I know multiple people in person on hexbear, but we've never exchanged usernames).

Idk if there are any hard and fast rules beyond the selfies and direct ID though. I should burn this account.

Edit: removed reference to masculinity

Whole bunch of new posters and no federation style influx of chuds and libs who can't read the room. All the new people seem cool as hell and whoever pied piper's those rats over deserved some applause.

The goal of the Liberty In Laundry Act is to roll back energy efficiency rules for washers and dryers.

In the spring, the [GOP] voted to roll back efficiency standards on refrigerators with the Refrigerator Freedom Act. In the summer, they targeted efficiency standards on dishwashers with the Stop Unaffordable Dishwasher Standards Act. In the fall, evidently, it was time to focus on laundry machines.

Bluesky posts

A recent Photobucket privacy update revealed plans to sell user photos and biometric face/iris data to AI companies for training. A lawsuit is seeking class action status that would cover anyone who uploaded photos from 2003-2024 and any non-users depicted in the photos.

One of the claims in the lawsuit is Photobucket pulled a bait-and-switch with email campaigns. Claiming to let users “reactivate” or delete their dormant accounts, which then forced them to accept new T&S. Also ignoring emails would automatically opt in users. That’s not informed consent.

I had a really bad week and a big influx of people I really think I'm gonna like has genuinely made me happy! I'm stoked more like minded people are here and that it's been such s smooth flood. Usually we have to fight off hordes of shitty people and the cool ones filter through. It's been all cool ones. It feels nice. It makes me feel happy. I'm also trying to work my post count up to 1000. 3 left.
