  2. If the question asked is serious, answer seriously.

  3. Questions where you want to learn more about socialism are allowed, but questions in bad faith are not.

Yeah, each one is an image link. For example, possum-party is

https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/16a72a38-0fbc-45f3-bf59-dd9e6509f73e.png

So you can go to the image, copy and paste it into your comment, and use it from your own instance. You won't have the emoji picker unless you have a hexbear account, but you can bookmark and hold on to your favorites.

Hold up, there's a little more too it.

On each post and reply, there is a view source option in the extras menu. This will show you the markdown used to post the emote.

Three advantages:

  • Includes alt-text (for screen-readers) and title (that name that shows up when you hover over it)
  • Doesn't waste storage space on your server and our browsers for a hundred different copies of the same image
  • You can save them more easily if you want to build a collection.
