Has Hexbear also lasted longer than the Confederacy? The Confederacy lasted for 1,559 days. We have to be close at least.

We started in 2020 right? If so then yes

I've had rashes that lasted longer than the confederacy.

What's with the bear theming, anyway? Soviet Bear joke because we're all a bunch of tankies, or more esoteric than that? Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love it, but I do wonder why?

It was one of the many memes from r/cth at the time, like the volcel police or PPB.

When chapo.chat was created eventually a vote was made on a rename and Hexbear was chosen.

I don’t even remember it being as prolific as volcel police or PPB, it just happened to be peaking exactly when the sub was banned and so it stuck like a snapshot in time

Oh, that's good.

I do like that we can make Soviet Bear jokes about it, but the true origin is funny too.

Hexbear was chosen

...by the admins. Fucking cringe ass-name.

[–] ClimateStalin@hexbear.net 1 points 2 days ago

I feel like I remember it being voted on (and I voted for Hexbear)
