forget struggle sessions, tell me about your favorite snuggle sessions
you know, the times everyone comes together to support or celebrate
that post yesterday about TC69 & BrookeBaybee was pretty great π₯° I wasn't here back in the day to interact with them, but they're legendary, and seeing everyone's delight about their romance was heartwarming
speaking of users, so many names all over that thread that are still here, including people like Phish that idk if I've ever seen before but are definitely still around. it's funny how much active hours/areas of interest affect which Hexbears you meet.
Drinking game challenge: take a shot every time the phrase "anarcho-socialist extremism" is used and try not to die.
Also that is one of the corrections of all time. They had to issue a retraction after comparing us to fucking ISIS, but just changed the table to say Jihadist groups.
You were one of the people I was actually thinking about when I made that comment lol. I've tried a few times but gave up after a tourist wasn't using the sludge in their brain pan to try to understand that the modern concept of the nuclear marriage was intended for women to be used as chattel or that having a large amount of children was done partially for free labor exploitation in the homesteader era.
I'm a better learner than a teacher anyway.
I will say, the amount of people that legit understand theory here towers over the users in the lefty reddit spaces. Right now on /r/communismmemes, there is a user claiming that all anarchist are liberals. I tried telling them they are wrong and they immediately downvoted me like a dweeb.
It's really fun to see users on here who declare they came from elsewhere in the Lemmyverse, ignored the boogyman narrative, had a cool conversation with our valiant posters, and eventually decided we were so friendly and welcoming that they wanted to stay. I see someone declaring that basically every week now, it's great to see the proof that you can actually have more comrades by means of nice conversations Those posters warm my heart.
that was me too! I found Hexbear because someone made a post on midwest.social right after federation, asking if midwest.social was going to preemptively defederate like lemmy.world, which brought in a bunch of drama and bitching about Hexbear that prompted me to come check it out and then make an account, and it became my lemmyverse main within a week or two.
Same here. Although for me it was kind of cheating, since I was on the subreddit before and had no idea it moved here. Once I found that out, the bears had a leg up on dragging me here from my other Lemmy Alt lol. But I found that out only after hexbear were depicted as a boogie man to my other Lemmy account, and after I had a conversation with a couple about stuff.
Idk if kissinger carking it counts, but that was a wonderful moment
Edit: I'm changingy answer to when everyone came to commemorate the loss of comrade biggs . I hadn't been around on hb for that long, maybe a year or so, and biggsposting in the general mega was a whole celebration of the fuzzy friends in our lives. Theres lots of lovely animals in the general mega who we all love
Half the convos in the trans mega come to mind. From supporting and listening to each other, to talking about fun queer games, to heavy flirting, and of course accelerating each others gender ^^
Every time I get depressed and write out a long live journal blog post, I get a ton of support and love and it always helps me deal with shit. It happens like every other month so I appreciate it.
