Yes. They moved here. Have done the same things. Pissed many people off. Thankfully this time they can be easily contained due to how Lemmy works. They could just grow up and not be an embarrassment to the left. But that’s apparently too big an ask.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 2 months ago:
Maybe because you didn’t observe it happening. Reddit admins were busy as hell cleaning the place up. All kinds of rightwing subs like some of the incel gathering spots. Some for straight up Nazis like frenworld or whatever it was where they were using honk honk as code for heil Hitler. When the admins made site changes due to complaints about right wing subs, Chapo made the list because they engaged in similar activities with the main complaint being brigading other subs. Their mods refused to change to meet the new rules. The admins eventually removed some of the mods. They still refused to change afterward. Which eventually got them shut down.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 2 months ago:
Hardly, the mods kept refusing to do anything about the brigading of other subs. To the point the admins stepped in and removed a couple of them. Then afterward the sub decided they’d rather go private than comply. At this point most of back and forth is wiped out because the sub is locked. But there was far more going on for a while than their claim that one post shut them down immediately. They had already been in trouble for a couple months.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 2 months ago:
While true there was a lot more behind the decision than that final post. They had been fighting with the admins for a long time.

There were other things that went down to get them on probation. I can tell you’re gladly defending them though. Which is ridiculous so have a nice day.

TIL Reddit admins were confederate slavers
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 2 months ago:
What you’re not accounting for is how they curate who is allowed to post in the first place.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 2 months ago:
That’s the whole point of an echo chamber yes. You can say whatever you want without being challenged by other viewpoints and make anything seem plausible.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 2 months ago:
Coming up with theory in an echo chamber isn’t hard.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 2 months ago:
Largely because they moved to different subs.
The Chapo crew didn’t want to calm down with all the threats of violence and other ridiculous antics. So they left completely.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 2 months ago:
Yeah they immediately took over Conspiracy and consolidated the hold on Conservative. Made me really sad as conspiracy used to have some incredible rabbit hole posts. Then one day it was just TD all over again.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 2 months ago:
They were banned around the same time as The Donald because everyone was tired of the shit both groups were doing.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 2 months ago:
If you’ve heard of Chapo Trap House that’s them. If not, most of those kids/idiots/trolls are the type of terminally online fake leftists that give other leftist a bad image in general. They were so ridiculous Reddit got tired of their shit and banned them a couple years back.
- Comment on Why did Hamas choose Oct 7 to strike? Instead of say another day? 2 months ago:
Putin’s birthday. Attacking like they did when they did was likely part of Iran’s agreed upon support for Russia in Ukraine. The point being split US weapons shipments and focus away from Ukraine before Russia’s next major offensive.

lol I’ve only visited on business trips. Seemed nice. Have heard like everywhere people are now getting priced out.

Sad thing is the Bentonville area is rather nice. Because the Walton kids have dumped a bunch of money into it. Whole state could be just as nice if Arkansas would tax those assholes effectively.

Pumped for lacrosse being in finally. It’s a sport I think could go much more international than it is now.
- Comment on Olympic Sneaking: Qualifying Round 3 months ago:
It was the local event Paris got to pick out. It won’t be back thankfully.
For 2028 we’re getting flag football (kinda meh on) and Lacrosse (will be awesome) as the local choice sports. Much better options thankfully.

Kinda yeah but kinda no. In that it’s meant to be a funny action movie that wasn’t taking itself seriously.

I live in Chicago. So does Alec. Stop the video at 5:44. All the trees are doing far more cooling and shading to the entire area than shitty old window awnings blocking single windows.
- Comment on Awnings: a simple cooling tech we apparently forgot about 4 months ago:
Trees will shade far more surface area than just a window. I’ve got 9 around my house. They block direct sun through the windows all summer. While not blocking any light in the winter. They also keep the siding and sections of the roof cool.

Trees create a cooling effect past shading the area. It’s a combination of shade and evaporative cooling.
- Comment on Awnings: a simple cooling tech we apparently forgot about 4 months ago:
Better idea. They’re called trees.

MAGA world would collapse from infighting to be the new figure head. So I know which outcome I’d have preferred.
- Comment on Stay Mad 4 months ago:
They’re especially loud here because Lemmy’s developers are tankies. Some are even supposedly former Chapo Trap House peeps that got kicked off reddit. It’s the most annoying part of this place trying to be a reddit replacement. But it’s getting better with users calling them out.
