A friend sent me a spicy enough meme and I thought “heh, they are ready for HexBear”. So I almost sent them a link and then I thought “hold on, maybe they are put off by something, let’s check”; so made the little mental exercise of trying to discover hexbear for the first time.
Good lord, there’s too much terminally online shit, anybody sane would be repelled.
I lied there was no effort post
:gold-communist:
I think my brain got broken a long time ago because I don’t see this site or the leftist stuff as alienating at all. Can someone literally give me a run down or some examples?
I don’t know I checked the dunk tank and suddenly everything seemed too terminally online.
But what’s the point of this place if not a niche forum for extremely online leftists? I’m not very online myself, but one of the reasons I come here is to learn about all the ridiculously online bullshit I’d never ever see otherwise! It’s like being able to be extremely online without any of the downsides
You are totally right, is just the community is so cool I would love to share it with cool people stranded in shit communities where there are always a bunch of reactionary dipshits posting or commenting shit.
Exactly like what I found in r/chapotraphouse: a place that suddenly was mostly free of shitheads and made fun of idiots, made me laugh a lot and also taught me weird shit. A cool oasis.
Really r/cth showed me how fucking easy is to root out reactionary bullshit when you really want to get rid of it
What if more energy were directed towards the hobbies comms and stuff? Trying to make things more accessible to more people and whatnot (yes I realize c/libre needs to do that lol)
Given the level of irony poisoning I had trouble telling r/neoliberal and r/chapotraphouse at first. Not to mention all the esoteric leftist jokes with no way to understand them without lurking for months.
Might just be how it is, yo
