Complaints about Hexbear in Hexbear defederation posts often talk about emoji size. Even complaints about PPB are usually talking about how big it is. And I mean it's true, that emoji, among others, is massive on non-Hexbear instances.
Obviously PPB and the rest of our culture is cool and good, but it is silly to be defederated because of an emoji scaling bug. Surely we can find cooler reasons to be defederated
The gigantic ppb is hilarious. Wait how does
scale?
server shits itselfKinda disappointing, really.
What even is it?
DPKR Supersoldier.
When it was first uploaded it was so big not only did the image get messed up it took down the whole site for like a day.
We didn't have images or embedding for like a good week after while the issue was fixed. IIRC the person responsible immediately confessed and wasn't punished for it, but I don't remember who it was.
It was hilarious. The entire community would have revolted if they got punished.
Confession post
Their last post.
It's funny when you don't need to deal with it, sure, but even as a Hexbear native it's honestly really annoying cause you can't read shit
an easy way to tell is to right click an image and open it in a new tab, that will show the original image size that hexbear downscales to each comment
