I don't hate y'all, but some of the posts here can be indigestable. Some posts simply assume everyone is on the same page with something - which is likely true, since you've been a community for a long time.

Maybe I'll come back and edit this with an example at some point.

You're witnessing us after we've gone through countless internal debates and purges, some of which will always be legendary. We had a problem with transphobes at the start, they're all gone. We had a really bizarre fight for about a week over whether or not cats should be allowed outside.

My favorite of ours was the weirdly intense debate over if it's ok to stack rocks next to or inside of a river.

There was also BMF, one of the strangest people to ever live. My personal favorite was @LiberalSocialist@hexbear.net, who was the most contradictory poster we had. You'd think LiberalSocialist was an elaborate Andy Kaufman level bit of someone pretending to be an annoying liberal, but I think it's always been unclear whether it was a gimmick or not.

Anyone who harbors and abets a KKKat while allowing it outside to engage in what can, by any reasonable standard, only be described as a campaign of stochastic terrorism against the indigenous bird population is a social chauvanist and any org that refuses to purge them is revisionist.

Read Lenin. lenin-cat

cats are the hungry purrrletariat

I take it back, instead of Lenin, read Settlers: the Mythology of the Feline Proletariat

Settlers: the Mythology of the Feline Proletariat

ahaha reveals the author’s bias against working-class unity and plays into the hands of the ruling class

edit: let's also remember that 👏 all 👏 dogs 👏 are 👏 fascists 👏

Posting the man responsible for the massacre of countless innocent sparrows while defending outdoor cats is telling.

Yet even then, as you can see, all of those cats are clearly indoor cats. Outdoor cats were too extreme even for Mao.

It's because we're loud, incredibly active, argumentative, and most importantly we are generally speaking unified. Yes there are differences, but compare the pushback when a hexbear posts something pro-china vs when someone else posts something anti-china. We'll get maybe 2-3 responses, all of which will immediately get dogpiled anyway. They'll get 10 of us. We also all upvote the takes we all agree on, so much so that it looks like vote manipulation. No other group on the fediverse has that type of unity, even if they broadly agree with each other.

Also the giant emojis probably don't help lol.
