It’s been a while, how are y’all? 👹
Welcome back, certified pogchamp.
Welcome back, we’re gonna have a lot of work to do in the coming years and having you with makes me confident we’ll do some good shit
I’m sure I’m not the only one who would be honored if you joined us for movie night on hextube sometime, usually something playing every night
Not gonna dox myself beyond just saying I served with you back in the day and I’m no longer cis. Also no longer an anarchist, not that that matters. Hope you’re doing good. I’m doing better than ever, thankfully.
so nice to see you two back. i still delete my account every few months so to you im just tuesday but i still owe you for missing the feinberg book club during the second round of the pronoun wars but I did end up finishing trans liberation so ty for that
I don’t think I’ll have to shame anyone into reading this time around. I certainly can scream at y’all to read for old times sake if that’s what y’all really want, but I’d rather not, lmao. Once I’m back in the pool and adjusted to the temp, you can pay off that IOU by participating in the next reading sesh. :)
Belligerent and numerous
Pretty good. I used to think you were a bit grating and overbearing with your whole “banning transphobes and yelling at people they have to educate themselves about transness” thing, and then I recently went back and looked at old strugglesessions and suddenly
Apart from that I’m personally doing better than ever. I’ve got the best apartment I’ve ever had, I’m exercising regularly and I live right next to a deluxe fancy bakery that doesn’t lock its’ dumpster, so I’ve got sourdough bread and cinnamon buns out the wazoo.
I definitely was very overbearing but not without good reason. Constant manic episodes and the crushing weight of the momentum at which things were moving absolutely did not help that either. But now I’m medicated and the community is very pro-trans from what I’ve been seeing, so unless everyone suddenly becomes a massive shitlib overnight, I’d like to go back to the community organizing I did at the start of Hexbear - without the massive resentment for and anger towards the community.
Dumpster bread is one helluva vibe tho 🥵
Your decisions at the beginning really helped shape this site’s culture into what it is now in the best possible way. Like Stalin, after your departure a pile of rubbish was heaped on your grave, but the wind of History sooner or later swept it away without mercy.
Banning transphobes is based as hell actually, instantly makes this one of the only good places on the internet.
That day was honestly so glorious. Still one of my favourite memories of this site. Waking up, seeing that anybody who upvoted transphobic shit got the boot, my goodness what a purge. So beautiful.
I really do mean that I get it now though. Having re-read some of those thread (and for anyone curious I made a compilation post) made me realise what I didn’t see back then, because I used to stay out of all those discussions. People were frustratingly obtuse, and that’s being generous. I definitely would have done the same, had I been in your spot. I can relate to being medicated and then looking back at previous behaviour too though, it’s… it’s an experience for sure.
Looking forward to experiencing your community organising.Oh it’s not just dumpster bread. They make this weird caramelized double croissant-thing. It’s like crack cocaine. I’m giving out so many baked goods, partially because of course I do, but mainly to avoid clogging my arteries.
I definitely was very overbearing but not without good reason.
Thank you very much, sincerely, your efforts are part of the reason why hexbear is one of the only usable deep internet sites due to how much of a plague transphobia is, even on supposedly “leftist” sites.
The old threads, Christ…
Welcome back. Feel free to unleash on the lemmitors on the other instances that post nonsense, they are in desperate need of basic education.
i became trans in the time since you left, thank you for fostering the community that helped me realise it and to then get on hrt
Do you condemn hummus?
I condom hummus.
The prodigal daughter has returned. Last time you were here, you made me read theory, self-crit, and shot me with the gender gun and turned me nonbinary
It was the cries of wayward Hexbearians that I transed that helped me find my way back, lmao.
Thanks for having me back! Congratulations on transing your gender, comrade! It’s really nice to see so many oldheads still here 😭
You got me too.
I very easily hold a record for most eggs cracked. Holy fuck, lmao.
Welcome back!
We never stopped upholding TC69 thought.
Good.
What the fuck, UlyssesT got back from slumber, and now you? A legendary poster I only have heard of?
This better not be a bit.
33·14 hours agoUlyssesT just deleted his account.
😞 but there were so few other olds here already
Oh shit he actually did
Guess he figured out he really needed to go back to touching grassOh fuck he did
What happened?
He made a thread yesterday basically saying he wants to concentrate on his family and making friends in his community and giving shelter to those in need if possible.
I hope it isn’t opsec compromising to post about this.
I’m going to guess the election results hit him pretty hard, and he wants to focus on his local community, based on what I remember of his last post. He spent the last month basically posting about how despicable Elon Musk is (understandable tbh), so seeing him with some actual state power must be nauseating.
Probably the same that happened to me - Realised he can’t just be online a little bit and decided to log off. Easier when you delete your account. I came back after a few months.
I would like to know too
probably opsec
WHAT THE FUCK.
May he finally find peace.
It ain’t. I watched her make the account lol
does not preclude a bit
Ah, but bits are banned
Oh fuck you’re back too??? Welcome! Another legend returns.
Yeah, we’ve been away on a training arc. But we’ve learned as much as we can and are ready to break the power-scaling of this universe
Wish you were here for federation. That was where posters were made.
Also fantastic choice of profile picture for talking about training arcs lol
You must not have been here when I banned bits.
No I was not, I’m from lemmygrad and have been here since GenZedong got quarantined :3
Welcome back LEGEND
- it’s fucking great go be back
It’s good to see you again. I can tell you that I would CERTAINLY not be here right now if you hadnt made the impact you did on the site’s culture and its overall acceptance of trans people. I’m so happy for that. 🖤❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Chat, is this real?
Chat! This is crazy chat!
