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

    ay mates lelkins here. happy day of bear exist or happy cake time day or happy fuck shit balls ass fuck piss beanhole or FUCK THIS HAPPY FUCKING BIRTHDAY HEXBEAR YOU GUYS ACTUALLY LIKE ME A LOT AND I AM SURPRISED

    the thread closed maybe because i showed up so i will go i do not want this to close either. i think i am an anomaly or a scoop breach container or whatever

    i wanna play project zomboid but i am too busy getting character customization mods to add more hair and shit, the masculine need to look pretty or cool in a video game

    also about the job hunting thing, tomorrow i’ll have an interview. it’s just that the idea of jobhunting drained me so much i feel like kris deltarune with their lack of control over life itself. i keep getting called over while i do stuff i enjoy, i feel watched, i feel uneasy, all the time, every the time

    my family members constantly go “SEARCH FOR JOB” “SEARCH FOR JOB” “ALL THE TIME DO IT” and i am TIRED I DON’T WANNA DO IT ANYMORE

      Applying for jobs is the most degrading thing. Like you have to jump through hoops just to have the privilege to be exploited so you can eat food.
