I was a long time lurker of r/cth and it was the only sane place I could go on Reddit to read shit that wasn’t saturated with racist memes about where I was born (China). Like I don’t even live there and haven’t for decades but fuck me is it wearying to see sOCiAl CrEDIt SCorE jokes on every fucking thread. Anyway I’m done with Reddit and was hanging around general lemmy instances and found y’all through the federation noise. I guess this post was kind of pointless but I’m just happy this community is still around.
Love & peace x

Welcome to where you always belonged. Here, we lower our snouts in unison and dine as the trough doth runneth over.
I have no clue what is in that picture, the emotes here are deranged, but I’ll agree to the general sentiment
Oh wait is that trump and the cheeseburgers lol
The emotes here are deranged.
Deranged in a good way, right?

Ya this was 100% forced. But I really wanted to use the anakin-padme chain.

Federating to increase user base.
Getting defederated to increase user base.

I’m not sorry
I started following this site from the beginning, but somewhere along the way I just sorta lost interest. The content wasn’t that engaging too me after a while. I remember it as being mostly dunking on American politics and culture war stuff.
The war in Ukraine brought me back because I wanted an online space that wasn’t in complete denial about the Western role in the conflict and/or deeply reactionary. This site didn’t let me down.
I much prefer engaging with discussions on (geo)political developments with people I disagree with as a matter of degrees, rather than the rabid liberalism on other sites. Eventhough people on this site still say some pretty silly things sometimes, I take it in good faith. As much as I love me some internet drama, it is a breath of fresh air to be able to talk about current events from a socialist perspective without it devolving into a discussion on which 20th century ideology is the real true socialism.

I had a very similar story. I joined the subreddit as a lurker in the months before it was banned, joined the lifeboat to the website, and I’ve checked this place out over the last couple years from time to time (I somehow managed to time it so that I always arrived a week or so after a struggle session) but it felt like we were just kinda in standby mode after 2020, like we were waiting for something to happen to latch onto and in the meantime we were just talking about how shit was getting steadily worse. I kept thinking about how it would be great to inject some more genuine discussion about the state of the world particularly outside America but getting started on that seemed like a rather big goal and I wasn’t sure if anybody would even be interested in it.
So when the war hit in 2022 and suddenly things were happening again, and everybody was interested in that again and people were coming back to the site because of the tsunami of propaganda and bullshit flooding everywhere else, it was like, oh shit, maybe there is a niche for these kinds of international discussions.
Thank you for creating and moderating the Bulletins and News Discussion Thread. Its highly appreciated

Welcome back comrade. We have world-tier emojis and we can always say it- John Brown Did Nothing Wrong.
John Brown did nothing wrong!! Also do we seriously have a Deng Xiaoping emote hahahahaha
Denguin appearance.
wearying to see sOCiAl CrEDIt SCorE jokes on every fucking thread
general lemmy instances
Uh, well, all I can say it’s good that you’re here instead.
Hi.
Welcome to Hexbear. 
To prepare you for our regularly scheduled shitposts, dunks, and struggle sessions, we must first calibrate your suit. Please follow me to the workshop where we will pick up some tools 
so we can begin the calibration process. 
Welcome back, Comrade. You’re home. <3
Welcome!
Fuck racists and fuck the social credit score joke. It was never funny and the FICO score the US has is objectively worse.
Glad to have you
Many comrades were scattered to the winds that probably weren’t online enough to know where we went. Everything happened so quickly, if you were logged off for just 3 days you could have missed the lifeboat discord and the subreddit’s banning, along with most of the possible discussion of alternatives.
It’s honestly a bit surprising that so many made it across in the first place.
Talk about Hexbear more, there’s literally no reason not to and every time you do more people find it. Wreckers will pop up when you mention it trying to spread shit to stop people coming over but they’re extremely easy to ignore. We built up a culture of silence about the place due to the performance problems the site was having - there is no reason to have that anymore, we should be promoting again.
I only found this place because some weirdo CHUD mentioned chapo.chat in a response to Will Menaker on Twitter, completely unrelated to anything he was talking about
thank you for your service dipshit CHUD redditor
Exactly. Just mention the place, even in weird out of context ways. If each one drags in one person and then we build a culture of those people also doing this we can rather significantly spread Hexbear.
I hated the discord era but it did help keep a good chunk of us in touch.
Sad so many of us got scattered. At least we get to celebrate when one of them make it back.
Yeah, I missed the actual final day or two. Found out about the discord due to some comrade DMing me, went there, hated it because I’m old and not online enough for Discord, but eventually heard about this place there.mlurked and joined about 3 years ago. Shoutout to that comrade who DM’d me. I’d have hated to have had to spend the last few years embroiled in the great scratched-liberalisation of Reddit.
I hated discord so much I cried in the slow channel enough that our nerds added me to the beta site asap to shut me up.
:michael-laugh:Discord: bad for the slow reactioned normals, bad for socialism.
The return of the Diaspora Hexbears
Yeah discord causes immense problems outside of small groups, once you get over like 30-50 active people in one space it quickly dissolves into quite a lot of personal conflicts.
Not that personal conflicts don’t happen here but discord makes them far more public and stressful for people involved, which plays into ongoing issues day after day. You get them in any setting but different formats make them present in less problematic ways.
Is the lifeboat discord still around?
It is, though theresome tension between here and there
The infighting is the leftist love language 🥰
To welc9me you, we will jow be redoing the outdoor cats, kobe bryant, vegan, anf other struggle sessions so you get thr full experiencr
niph, welcome… to the resistance
