Hexbear has felt quiet since the struggle session (short rant) (hexbear.net)

It seems to really have alienated a number of people and prevented them from posting. This is a great shame because I felt that hexbears’s momentum and place of online leftism was really starting to shine in the days after the election. This is the most important time for there to be an alternative on the left and we’re wasting it, with what appears to be the start of another struggle session caused by mods unilaterally deciding things.

I don’t really have a solution or more to say, more just this dump of feelings

Sure it was the struggle session? Even now I feel the details of the session fading away like fingerprints on an abandoned handrail

I feel like it's more post-election malaise, same thing happened back in 2020 after Biden won, alot of bored posting, and I'm leavin, I'm back, I'm leavin, I'm back posts too

I feel like the almost back-to-back "Dunk Tank" struggle session and then "Upvote Ban" struggle session probably burned a lot of people up. :/

[–] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 25 points 1 day ago

then "Upvote Ban" struggle session

I completely missed that one, but since neither of them come close to the vegan debacle of 2021, I feel it's safe to assume the site will survive this short period of unrest

Like I said before, I think alot of these micromanaging debates over forum engineering stem from a misplaced frustration with the state of the world AS WELL as the continuing failure of federation over a year after it's launch, on top of the embarrassing and increasing 4chan-fication of lemmy as a whole

I definetly think the struggle session had some impact but I've personally been posting less because I hacked my 3DS and have been playing DQ7 nonstop.

@dannoffs 3ds OG, XL, or new3ds?

I have a 3dsXL but everything I read says that the new one is the best way to go for hacking

[–] dannoffs@hexbear.net 5 points 1 day ago

It's a new3dsXL, I don't have any experience with hacking the OG 3ds/3dsXL but from what I've seen the the biggest difference is that the new3ds can emulate SNES.

[–] ProfessorOwl_PhD@hexbear.net 1 points 1 day ago

AFAIK new can do slightly more, but i jailbroke my 3dsxl the other week and haven't hit any roadblocks yet.
