badposting is a comm where you post badly


This is not a !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net alternative. This is not a !memes@hexbear.net alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.

Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?


Rules:

  1. Do not post good posts.
    • Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
    • Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
  2. This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
  3. This rule intentionally left blank.
  4. If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.

Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo

I can’t remember who said this, but I recall someone saying it likely got banned because hexbear is also the name of some garbage cryptocurrency and this site likely got caught up in China’s efforts to keep out crypto scams. Someone should email the Chinese embassy and see if we can get the site whitelisted.

I wonder if chapo.chat is a cryptocurrency?

[–] NPa@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Finally, the CPC has weighed in on the name-change struggle session on the side of chapo.chat

xi-vote

I think the crypto currency is called Hexcoin, not Hexbear. I worked a catering event for them. Weirdest shift I've ever done. I'm sure many hexbears will have read my writeup on it before.

Edit: Ah, damn. Nevermind. There is now a currency called Hexbear. Hex coin crashed.

The negatives of sharing name with a cryptocoin catgirl-cry

[–] cabb@lemmy.dbzer0.com 43 points 2 months ago

Crypto bros continue to be even more cringe than libs. Honestly kinda impressive

[–] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 41 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I think it was us, because i remember nerds in the mega posted about us having the same name as it, and it was young back then

[–] ProletarianDictator@hexbear.net 17 points 2 months ago

[–] bbnh69420@hexbear.net 15 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

also Eric from Internet Comment Etiquette

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm still convinced he got on because I emailed him about this site. It's too much of a coincidence otherwise

[–] bbnh69420@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You emailed him??? I just took him at his word that he ran into us while looking for crypto sites

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I emailed all his public handles and two days later he was here. In my defense I thought it would be funny (and it was). I don't think he even mentioned crypto on here.

[–] bbnh69420@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

He mentioned it once, in the original post. Good times

The meme hexbear-shining were both riffing off of it

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 49 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Xi caught one look at how small and wimpy my dick and balls where when he snooped on my phone and was like "lol nope" and hit the xi-button to ban us.

[–] Mindfury@hexbear.net 37 points 2 months ago (1 children)

"I regret to inform you your nads are cringe xi-button"

[–] ProletarianDictator@hexbear.net 16 points 2 months ago

Xi pushing the male enhancement button

[–] Zuzak@hexbear.net 44 points 2 months ago

I kept messaging Xi asking him to liberate us by firing off a bunch of Dongfeng missiles at the US and he replied "Those things don't come cheap" and then blocked me. Not sure if related.

[–] CthulhusIntern@hexbear.net 33 points 2 months ago

Well yeah, they know this site is a bunch of libs.

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 32 points 2 months ago

I'm sorry, I haven't been glazing Xi enough lately. It's been a stressful few months.

[–] Mindfury@hexbear.net 14 points 2 months ago

"Yo President Xi, check out these libs: hexbear.net"

Xi: "Nah fuck that xi-button"

[–] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 19 points 2 months ago
[–] gramxi@hexbear.net 19 points 2 months ago

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)
