Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

whispers of the machine is a pretty good game if you're into that sort of thing

i dodged out of explaining to my girlfriend what hexbear is for now, but seems like I'll have to reckon with this sooner than I'd hope for

Time for the hard hitting question everyone else is too afraid to ask:

Which one of you is gonna be a better Beanis poster beanis

[–] PointAndClique@hexbear.net 16 points 3 hours ago

Torn between badposting for that user who told their therapist about hb and good posting for when your spouse joins

Oh god lol. I haven't told anyone I know in real life about this website.

[–] the_itsb@hexbear.net 24 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

had to tell my household to explain why there was so much giggling at my phone and ranting about new topics

yes, even my son has heard of Hexbear

I just tell people who see me on my phone with the Lemmy UI open that "I'm chatting with people on the internet", and leave it at that lol. I think most people I know have already figured out that I'm some sort of godless socialist, or something along those lines, from my opinions on domestic and international affairs. I don't talk about it often, but when I do I lay it out pretty plainly.

yes, even my son has heard of Hexbear

Bwaaa

Your son knows about this place? Is he old enough to fully understand that we're some sort of esoteric political forum, or something like that?

[–] the_itsb@hexbear.net 15 points 2 hours ago

he's a senior in high school, which makes me officially Old

he knows this is the commie hangout where I find memes and great trans resources and news to be mad at

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 25 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

I should get my dog posting on here.

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 3 points 1 hour ago

Hello yes am corgi

[–] Cammy@hexbear.net 8 points 3 hours ago

That's exciting. We joke about this place being cringe, but honestly it's one of the healthier communities online.

Does your spouse know your account or will you delete this post to hide the evidence?

jb-shining

it was tales of the misogyny struggle session plus having a long and through answer to someone's diy question that finally got him to make an account

[–] context@hexbear.net 12 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

i've been pretty busy lately, was that a struggle session or just fly paper?

regardless it'll be a delight to have him around, i'm sure

[–] the_itsb@hexbear.net 16 points 3 hours ago

lenin-laugh "flypaper" is definitely more apt

[–] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 17 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

oh shit, y'all better act cooler than usual

[–] the_itsb@hexbear.net 15 points 4 hours ago (1 children)
