Yes. They moved here. Have done the same things. Pissed many people off. Thankfully this time they can be easily contained due to how Lemmy works. They could just grow up and not be an embarrassment to the left. But that’s apparently too big an ask.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 2 months ago:
Maybe because you didn’t observe it happening. Reddit admins were busy as hell cleaning the place up. All kinds of rightwing subs like some of the incel gathering spots. Some for straight up Nazis like frenworld or whatever it was where they were using honk honk as code for heil Hitler. When the admins made site changes due to complaints about right wing subs, Chapo made the list because they engaged in similar activities with the main complaint being brigading other subs. Their mods refused to change to meet the new rules. The admins eventually removed some of the mods. They still refused to change afterward. Which eventually got them shut down.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 2 months ago:
Hardly, the mods kept refusing to do anything about the brigading of other subs. To the point the admins stepped in and removed a couple of them. Then afterward the sub decided they’d rather go private than comply. At this point most of back and forth is wiped out because the sub is locked. But there was far more going on for a while than their claim that one post shut them down immediately. They had already been in trouble for a couple months.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 2 months ago:
While true there was a lot more behind the decision than that final post. They had been fighting with the admins for a long time.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 2 months ago:
There were other things that went down to get them on probation. I can tell you’re gladly defending them though. Which is ridiculous so have a nice day.

TIL Reddit admins were confederate slavers
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 2 months ago:
What you’re not accounting for is how they curate who is allowed to post in the first place.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 2 months ago:
That’s the whole point of an echo chamber yes. You can say whatever you want without being challenged by other viewpoints and make anything seem plausible.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 2 months ago:
Coming up with theory in an echo chamber isn’t hard.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 2 months ago:
Largely because they moved to different subs.
The Chapo crew didn’t want to calm down with all the threats of violence and other ridiculous antics. So they left completely.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 2 months ago:
Yeah they immediately took over Conspiracy and consolidated the hold on Conservative. Made me really sad as conspiracy used to have some incredible rabbit hole posts. Then one day it was just TD all over again.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 2 months ago:
They were banned around the same time as The Donald because everyone was tired of the shit both groups were doing.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 2 months ago:
If you’ve heard of Chapo Trap House that’s them. If not, most of those kids/idiots/trolls are the type of terminally online fake leftists that give other leftist a bad image in general. They were so ridiculous Reddit got tired of their shit and banned them a couple years back.

I’d learn towards it being that they learned about Dyson sphere. And didn’t really understand as tech bros do.

Yeah my smart TVs are all big HTPC monitors
- Comment on Why did Hamas choose Oct 7 to strike? Instead of say another day? 2 months ago:
Putin’s birthday. Attacking like they did when they did was likely part of Iran’s agreed upon support for Russia in Ukraine. The point being split US weapons shipments and focus away from Ukraine before Russia’s next major offensive.
- Comment on Lemmy votes ARE public, should they be anonymous? 2 months ago:
That’s funny because I saw some initial comments made which then started this discussion. And what you’re suggesting was the intent. The issue as they (one of Lemmy’s developers) said was essentially frustration that their echo chamber had been pierced.

That’s what I keep telling them too. Plus reminding them flying is pretty bad for the environment.
- Comment on Survey: Almost 50% of Americans Consider Themselves ‘Broke’ 3 months ago:
Certainly heading that way by their actions. But flip side they think I’m saving for a retirement that won’t be worth having because the environment will be collapsing.
- Comment on Survey: Almost 50% of Americans Consider Themselves ‘Broke’ 3 months ago:
That’s what I’ve been seeing more of my millennial friend group doing. Basically said fuck saving for retirement. The world is going to shit before then.

At the same time we’re breaking travel records: usnews.com/…/us-agency-screens-record-3-million-a…
The truth is somewhere in the middle. Some people are hurting. Others are splurging for whatever reason.

One of the department Directors I work with keeps complaining like this. Has a $4k mortgage, new cars, went on family vacation to Greece a couple weeks ago.
Dude you’re not broke. You’re an idiot with your money. Don’t cry to me about inflation.

Pumped for lacrosse being in finally. It’s a sport I think could go much more international than it is now.
- Comment on Olympic Sneaking: Qualifying Round 3 months ago:
It was the local event Paris got to pick out. It won’t be back thankfully.
For 2028 we’re getting flag football (kinda meh on) and Lacrosse (will be awesome) as the local choice sports. Much better options thankfully.
- Comment on ISS astronauts on eight-day mission may be stuck until 2025, Nasa says 3 months ago:
That option is the longest possible of around 5 NASA covered yesterday. So of course it’s the one the media is focusing on today.
The update yesterday was over an hour long and had much better news.
- Comment on ISS astronauts on eight-day mission may be stuck until 2025, Nasa says 3 months ago:
They should be good. Cygnus capsule arrived on Tuesday. Was a regularly scheduled resupply. They are using supplies faster. But there is always safety stock.
- Comment on ISS astronauts on eight-day mission may be stuck until 2025, Nasa says 3 months ago:
News from yesterday media isn’t talking about is NASA confirmed Starliner is likely fine to fly home. They did 3 hot fire simulations of a return mission. All thrusters passed. Even worked better than during approach. Meaning NASA’s theory about what Boeing fucked up seems to have been corrected.
But the media wants clicks. Jumped straight to talking about worst case scenario of our around 5 possible options covered yesterday.

Then he fired his PR team not long after that. He pushed out all the people getting paid to help him not look like an idiot.

It’s just the Jack Welsh playbook over and over. Even though people finally started to realize Jack was a fucking idiot and ruined GE.
He got rich. But fucked one of the most well known and respected companies in the world doing it.
