I think there was a misunderstanding earlier when you said you were new. You meant newly an admin, but others thought you were saying you were literally new to this site as a whole

Also TC69 called this a conspiracy theory while locking the thread that screenshot showed up in. If the image isn’t fake then that really needs elaboration

What the fuck? Ok now I understand the difference between allowing dunking on a federated lemmygrad comm and just allowing it here. The admins just wanted to appease other fucking instances once again by letting them dictate our culture from the top down. We need to be the nice, respectable leftists so the liberals on lemmy.world will like us, so keep your uppity complaining on lemmygrad

It sucks to realize in hindsight, but if Bernie had won the 2016 primary he would have been thoroughly ratfucked as a matter of bipartisan consensus. The Democrats would have sabotaged his national campaign at every step, probably even going as far as to have a few high profile Democrats endorse a third party candidate to make sure Bernie loses.

But if we’re still allowed to post dunk content on the lemmygrad comm, and that comm is still allowed to federate with Hexbear, then what has actually even changed given all dunk content ends up there eventually? Like it’s still on the site, our users still see it, its still under Hexbear mod jurisdiction.

The only thing that’s changed in that scenario is that anarchists aren’t welcome to post dunk content anymore

Thanks, comrade. The harder I’m forced to mask during interviews, the closer and closer I get to saying fuck it and telling the interviewer to their face that in a just world they’d be in a fucking gulag

were probably some of the more active comms on this site besides chat, mutual aid, and chapomainhouse.

This is a very important point and I don’t see it brought up much. We should not be blanket deciding that low effort posts are not welcome on Hexbear because Hexbear unironically needs low effort post as an indispensable part of the site culture.

Low effort posts by their nature are a dime a dozen, they help keep the place active and lively. High user activity for the size of our userbase has always been a defining feature of both Hexbear and the subreddit before it. High effort posts come naturally as a consequence of discussion often originating in lower effort threads.

On board with most people here saying it shouldn’t be called gossip, and getting rid of the racist pun is cool and good.

But if we’re still allowing shitreactionariessay to be federated with Hexbear, then I don’t see why we can’t have that content on a local comm now that people can block individual communities.

People who don’t like that content don’t need to see it, I don’t understand this ongoing trend of insistence that no one else should see it on a local Hexbear comm either. Especially when so many comrades have shared how these communities serve as sanity checks, the one place we can reaffirm to ourselves and to our comrades that the reactionary slog of our everyday lives is neither necessary nor normal.

And as others have brought up, lemmygrad is a sectarian space, meaning all that’s essentially changed is that we no longer have a left unity space for this type of content on our federation network.

So is Intel fucked or something? I heard like the majority of their newer desktop CPUs were found to be defective until the current gen, and now I’m hearing their new gen where they ditched their i3/i5/i7 branding is also getting trounced at all price points by AMD.
