Community request posts with enough upbears and a volunteer for moderation willing to submit an application will be created during mod drives.

Now that it seems like we are de-fedding (pun intended) with db0, we need a piracy comm. (hexbear.net)

As the title says. I am willing to moderate it if need be, but I suppose there is better comrades out there for that job.

edit: also if 'eugene' style memes can get banned there for being """tankie adjacent""" we need a piracy comm on Hexbear.

Isn’t this “celebration” premature?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 months ago (3 children)

Yah, this makes me sad. I don’t understand some of the stuff that goes on in this instance (and I’ve never listened to Chapo) buuuuut there’s some based-ass sub…lemmies here.

Are y’all federated with furry shit? I don’t want to switch to my other account but whatevz, I could manage.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 months ago

I think the big furry instances preemptively defederated us for being tankies or whatever

We do have this though: https://hexbear.net/c/furry

I was never a Chapo listener, and 1) the Hexbear consensus is that Chapo isn’t what it used to be anyway, and 2) Hexbear isn’t really very dirtbag in their leftism these days, and if it ever was that was before my time.

I can’t speak to furry whatevers, you’ll have to see for yourself. I think there are way more instances defederated from Hexbear than the other way around.

I’m not entirely sure how federation even works. If y’all defed, I’ll stop seeing yer posts, right?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago

That’s the long and short of it, yes. You’d stop seeing our communities, posts, votes, and comment threads, meaning our comments and everyone’s replies to those comments.

how is it not dirtbag? I've seen people get very aggro when talking to libs and rightwingers from other instances

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I’m not getting into some nerd-ass struggle session about the Merriam-Webster definition of dirtbag, LIB .

guilty as charged, i joined from the blahaj zone instance after the defederation drama and have never really been into the local culture :|

There are a lot of inside jokes and it can take a while to calibrate one’s Poe’s Law-dar.

I always thought the "dirtbag" in "dirtbag leftist" referred more to the use of slurs and bigoted/ablesist/etc language and less about the aggressiveness in their comments. shrug-outta-hecks

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago

not a celebration, but yeah a little premature. i still think a piracy comm is a good idea regardless of federation or defederation though.
