Ya’ll I’m high
fuck it. everyone is defederating from everything. every user gets their own unique instance and nobody can comment or vote on a different instance.
Fuck yeah don’t get in ma brain! Reading other people’s thought words is authoritarian AF!
Reading is literally someone transmitting their thoughts into your brain. It’s a form of communist brainwashing and the only defense is illiteracy.
unholy Saganic occult magic
Literally the neoliberal attitude toward literacy programs
Quite literally this tweet right here
Communism is when you teach illiterate people their ABCs

excuse me sir you’re in hexbear territory may i see your papers
oh no, multiple people want to address something in your comment. the horror.
America is when marketplace of ideas (good!)
Russia is when breadline of ideas (BAD)
Wow, the Russians that made the sign by that breadline had really good English!
I want to just post bad takes with no repercussions! It’s not fair that I have to defend my positions! The market place is ideas isn’t supposed to allow your kind!
No no no, you see, we have to politely queue up in turn when replying, like mooks in a Bruce Lee movie!
It’s when you post something they don’t like you get a dozen hostile, insulting replies.
Maybe you should stop posting state department propaganda.
if i didn’t want to be made fun of, i would simply post good ideas.
If you manage to con yourself into taking anything said by anyone here at all seriously ever, that’s your own lookout. Take it as an opportunity to dunk right back.

Wait, are people on hexbear actually communists? Shit…
deleted by creator
we joke to cope with living in hellworld. we’re extremely clear about who we are and what we believe. it’s almost like communists disdain to conceal their views and aims, or something. I wonder if anyone has written that down before…
That’s not what they meant. They meant that these are randos on the internet, most of whom are maladjusted, so why do you care what they say? The beliefs are typically sincere. Kim Il-Sung was better than any US President and even making the comparison is kind of insulting, like saying your whole-grain bread is healthier than any type of insecticide.
Ok cool, you admitted to being one of those “it was just a joke bro” fascists. Go fuck yourself.
We get it, you’re popular.

“All I did was make frivolous accusations of genocide by an enemy of my country and now people are worked up! Must be that Authoritarian Personality.”
😔
multiple people disagree with you? The horror. Go back to reddit if you want your echo chamber back.
Look if you don’t ban posting, you’re only treating symptoms of the problem.

This is unironically my take on the mastodon defederation drama. I host my own single user instance I only follow other single user instances. It’s 2023, people should know how to rent a VPS and run like 3 commands.
thanks for letting me know hexbear exists and now i’m a member. lol
thanks for pulling up
welcome!
One of us one of us
good to have you here!
I took 5 tabs of lsd and defederated from reality
5 was the most I’ve ever done and having done 4 before that, I spent the entire time thinking “I am on exactly one too many tabs to enjoy this”
Having capped out on what was probably 3 (hard to tell since it was dropped onto torn off sections of my friend’s business card by a hippie), I can’t imagine taking 5.
I got it in my head to start doing heroic doses for a minute in the early 2010s. Peaked when I took a solid milligram once in a fit of hubris.
Was tripping for ~16 hours with a 3 day afterglow. Lost my power of speech and channeled glossolalia for most of the trip. Good trip overall but fuuuccckkkk the comedown was way too long.
Also smoked DMT on acid once. Didnt potentiate either, but coming down from DMT is disorienting enough when you have a steady baseline to return to. Would not recommend.
I did a heroic dose of shrooms one time and that was enough for me.
Haha my favorite thing about DMT is how short it is. I can’t imagine coming back “down” and still being tripping for hours after.
I smoked a bowl and defederated a pepperoni pizza.
Cowabunga!
Defederate yourself and defederate everyone around you

Completely agree, hexbear is a cancer on the wider lemmyverse
im calling up my buddies to take out the dreaded hexbears
hexbear is a cancer on hexbear. and by cancer I mean snuggles. it’s a hexbear on hexbear snugglefest.
I’m liking the influx of Midwest social accounts here. For every lib we bully to tears will get 10 comrades who laughed at their suffering
The ratio is probably inverted, but I still call that a win
Still of the belief that the majority of users are lurkers and our shows are something that they enjoy.
People on platforms like these are somewhat more likely to be participants because it’s not as mainstream a place, but either way I doubt that the audience is that much different from the participants since I don’t actually think there are any paid shills. The biggest difference (which is in your favor, mind) is that the people we yell at are mostly these weird people that are busybody enough that they never, ever stop posting about tankies while also being too lazy to even skim a single source we give them, even from a friendly journal or the UN itself.
I agree for the most part, but my experience with people is pretty weird coming from a very conservative place. I’m one of those people that still goes out and talks to conservatives IRL and doesn’t hold back because I know I’m right.
I known that most of the people I talk to are probably gonna forget what I say, but discussing these things in the open and getting agreement with people on their terms (I’m talking about proletarian stuff, not culture war stuff) is good.
I’ve been able to draw in some crowds with discussion sometimes and even if the person I’m speaking with is a lost cause, the people around all start to question things and actually engage in productive discussion.
We are essentially that, but on a larger scale I think.
Only tangential, but please don’t get shot in those irl talks with conservatives about being a communist.
I’ll be alright, I’m always in a public place and people know who I am. Never felt threatened and most of the time I’m focusing on things they agree with and not picking fights
If the window isn’t hexagonal then we won’t be able to be pushed through.
Literally only found out hexbear had finally federated through all this drama
Welcome, we are the specter
We were the spectre first.

Careful comrade that spooky symbol got someone banned by an angery Estonian at lem.ee
If they defederate, guess I’ll start using my account based here more (but I like maximum access to the federation with the minimum amount of accounts).
Self-hosting your own instance is a pretty good way to bypass the defederation dramas.
I’ve given it some thought. My ideal would be to run both mastodon and lemmy instances as subdomains of a much broader personal website/project, but I really would also want to have it be the place that all my friends who aren’t in anything federated can go sign up to.
Yup, that’s what I do. Fyi, I think hexbear is federating on an Allowlist, so you’ll have to request that your instance is added once you have your domain/subdomain setup.
I’m sad they locked that thread. I really wanted to post a hammer and sickle too
Pearl clutchers 🙄
😠
oh yeah, the guy who thinks five-year plans are as bad as Generalplan Ost
Wouldn’t be Hexbear without everyone being freaked out by it

shouts out to everyone who stayed with us through bunker mode. that was certainly something.
What is tankie. I’ve only seen hexbears saying that
Originally a British communist who supported Khrushchev sending the Soviet military, which included tanks, to aid the Hungarian People’s Republic against the uprising in 1956, as named by those who disagreed with it. It took off online a while ago and now means something different to everyone who says it, anywhere from strictly Marxism-Leninism to anyone with politics further left that appointing Trump emperor of Earth. We’re usually being at least one kind of sarcastic when we use it.
OMG THIS! I can’t stand those awfultarian stankies.
I keep trying, but they keep the server too high up for me to reach.
Every time I try to hit the defederate button, Xi Jinping pulls it away from me at the last second and I fall on my face.
Is there anyone in the government named Lu Xi? They could be delegated that task.
And the clap of my dummy thicc posts keep attracting the chapos, hrrnnng!

George Lucas and I dropped acid together during an MKULTRA southern baptist summer camp and he went on to write the movie Willow about our time together.
Apparently instances can actually defed themselves and it immediately fucks everything up and the entire site dies instantly basically
oh damn really? do you remember where you saw that I’d love to know what the fuck happened lol
I saw a mastodon instance admin mention it in passing but idk if it carries over to Lemmy or if its ever happened to any notable instances
Do we still have that test instance lying around? I want to see some fireworks.
https://test.hexbear.net/ is still around, hasn’t been updated with a new test version or anything.

We need to defederate from hexbear and federate with chapo.chat
Defederate from this I dare you
Do as a bit , cowards.
