On this week this niche leftist forum was first launched (its was the 24th or 25th i think) Formed from the Chapotraphouse subreddit remnants that survived the reddit ban over the calls of violence against confederate slave owners, the first admins decided to use Lemmy as its base. Originally called Chapo.chat (ChaCha) Hexbear has grown into one of the biggest instances in the lemmyverse.

In this last 5 years hexbear has survived many diffent events from numerous struggle sessions, mod clique-users conflicts, wrecker incursions from other instances and sites, this image dprk-soldier, a decent amount of fedidrama with other instances and the domain crisis, we still thrive with over 5 million comments and 375k posts.

I still continue my dictatorial rule over the general megathread for now over 4 years now, this time locked in the chapo comm so it can be more easily moderated, c/indigenous has now grown to 750 subs which im very happy plus now i take care of the empoc mega which has been pretty chill so far.

I still really enjoy the fedidrama, it fun to see all the fedilibs always thinking about hexbear despide the fact that they are on defederated instances and they can ust ignore us, we live rent free on their minds

Really cool and good my entire teenage and 20s are going to be spent first during the rich getting away with fucking up the economy after occupy and now I can’t afford to ever start my life, but now I have to see the new golden age of conservatism where anything I enjoy will either be banned or will be subject to constant ridicule and all the stupid douchebags get to keep living in a perpetual high school where being a douche is seen as cool.

Fuck, I hate it here.

okay no for real, I'm starting to believe the haaarp weather control theories, i'm being attacked personally by the clouds. It's been cloudy for the last hour straight and i look at the clouds and they swirl around in just such a way that they linger blocking the sun. Im being attacked by a cloud wizard chat, there's no other explanation. Some old jealous arcane cracker doesn't want me to tan to a golden brown

So im the scene in The Wire where Snoop buys the nail gun the salesman says its $699 plus tax. Snoop hands him $800 and tells him to keep the change. I don't know what the tax rate is in Maryland but he'd only be getting ten bucks where I am

Someone give Richard Wolff a crash course on VTubers so he can parachute into the VShojo fallout, radicalize the talents, and get them to form a VTuber cooperative.

I'm half-jokingβ€”doubt any of the talents would want to join an organization after all that messβ€”but I would really like to see co-ops in the VTuber sphere. I'm also genuinely curious about how such an org would be structured, since there are two natural axes of inequality: differences in income/clout between streamers, and an imbalance of power/wealth between streamers and staff, both of which can be substantial. Would it be more suited to a dual-org system, where the staff forms a workers co-op and the streamers form a consumer co-op? I profess my ignorance about the nitty-gritty of cooperative operations, so if anyone has any insight I'd love to hear it.

edit: finally noticed a silly autocorrect mistake, oops

I saw Eddington. Weird that they made a movie about a side character from Star Trek Deep Space Nine.

Ha ha. But it was a wild movie fr. Watch it if you want to relive 2020.

Gamers who are mad at viral racists not because they hate racism, but because they didnt get 100k donations for having numerous "heated gaming moments".

You know I re4 whe. Youre at a safe spot on top of a ladder so you let the zomies get most of the way up, knock the ladder down and then shoot them while theyre re-setting the ladder? I felt like one of the zombies in that situation today

you have opinions, they are your own. few things on earth are objectively good or bad. you and your opinions do not dictate the opinions of others.

@HarryLime@hexbear.net the brown one was waiting in her bed with her head up when I approached. I gave her both hands deep skin scritches. She likes it when her jowls are all scrunched up. She gave a genuine purr.

The white one was sleeping when I approached, but when I crouched next to him he woke up, I guess by my scent. I gave him some gentle ear scritches and he whistled through his nose. He also tried to do thing where he hugged my hand in his neck like in the @lelkins@lemmygrad.ml pat

Whats up with the le censorship in vidro games thing going on. Heard an austrialian christian group is censoring a game or something.

Worst part is that gamers are now talking about detroit become human as if its second coming of jesus just because for some weird reason that group wants to ban that first? Smells like EA dante inferno marketing gimmick where they paid people to protest the game tbh.
