Can someone explain what the hell this instance is and why everyone cares? The whole conversation on both sides is so up its own ass that i have no context.
Thaaaank you. Sounds good to me!
this is revisionism, we started as a Citations Needed podcast subreddit
This is the internet's largest and best repository of emojis/the vanguard of the vocel revolution

I miss the bot
I'm doing my best but it's just not the same.
@VolcelPolice@hexbear.net tried to fill the void. now that we're federating, it might be time to bring it back.
we are a left unity instance. mostly Marxists and a good amount of anarchists. we call socdems what they are— the moderate wing of fascism. ppl hate us bc they are reactionaries
This is a liberal anarcho-bidenist Subreddit created to correct the record on Trump and support the National DNC, if you're not voting Biden then you ain't black Jack
No, no, you understandt he situation perfectly. Carry on!
This is where the r/chapotraphouse posters came when it was banned. Prior to Reddit's API changes a couple months ago, it was the most active instance by far, which is why we have 3.6 million comments.
It's a website for chubby, hairy, gay witches. Hex bears if you will.
/ Serious head for a second.
Hexbear sprang from the banned r/chapotraphouse Reddit page, which had a reputation for responding to reactionaries trying to debate their views with mockery.
This made it a boogeyman on Reddit, where the overwhelming majority of users are the kinds of people who take umbrage at being told they're incorrect and/or uninformed on any subject.
Reddit exodus brought those users to Lemmy. Meanwhile, a subset of Hexbear users are nostalgic of what they see as the glory days of r/chapotraphouse and see federation as a chance to do that sort of stuff again.
It's a socialist instance that was popular on reddit before we got banned there for repeatedly saying slave owners should be killed and
John Brown did nothing wrong (he didn't).
It's also by far the funniest instance.
People mostly come here to check out the dope bears.

until recently, we weren't federated, so we're used to primarily talking to each other. this has been an active community for 3 years.
