- Comment on HC wishes to expand its borders 1 month ago:
It is a bit weird, and mostly for imaginary reasons. There’s a growing mythology surrounding our little instance.

- Comment on Did this instance disable downvotes? 1 month ago:
To clarify: Not recently, they have been disabled for about a year.
- Comment on HC wishes to expand its borders 1 month ago:
It’s already in effect, though it probably won’t make a huge difference unfortunately, as most of the instances we weren’t linked with are very small. Ultimately we are a small instance ourselves which is why things are quiet sometimes - in time I hope that can change.
I will at some point try to see if I can talk with some of the larger instances that have defederated us, perhaps they can change their minds. That would make a larger impact, though my hopes aren’t high.
- Comment on HC wishes to expand its borders 1 month ago:
It’s not very sophisticated, we just sign up, start a community called “HC Embassy” or “Embassy of Hilarious Chaos” or something equally stupid, and start something akin to an AMA thread.
- Comment on HC wishes to expand its borders 1 month ago:
Haha yeah I’ll definitely need to be in a good mood for that one, but I’m curious too.
I was thinking I could sign up on their instances and open an “embassy” thread (or community?) to see if we can talk things out / dispel some myths.

🙌
I think it was the right way to go about it too.
Subscribing their communities is the main thing you can do. Similarly, they would need to subscribe to ours to receive our content.
I might try to reach out to some of the instances that have defederated from us, to see if we can reason with them. It all feels very irrational, maybe we can get them to see that the kitty isn’t scary after all. That’s one for when I have the time and patience though.

No, it isn’t.
- Comment on hexbear.net comically loses its domain name 2 months ago:
Apparently some old admin went afk and nobody else had access. So much for being a collective I guess.
- Comment on hexbear.net comically loses its domain name 2 months ago:
Truly salt of the earth
- Comment on hexbear.net comically loses its domain name 2 months ago:
They’re still poached though, all federation points to hexbear.net, domains are pretty central to Lemmy.
It will be interesting to see how they get out of this one.
- Comment on hexbear.net comically loses its domain name 2 months ago:
This is true, definitely not a very happy thought.
As an aside, it looks like they have a back-up domain, the drama here is hilarious: chapo.chat
- Comment on hexbear.net comically loses its domain name 2 months ago:
Looks like they forgot to renewe it, someone else snapped it up and now it’s up for auction. You could own hexbear I guess!

That’s pretty wild. Alice tells me the mod team has changed recently, it sounds like the new mods are a different cut.
- Comment on Apparently this instance respects freedom? 2 months ago:
Hey, we do tolerate open and free discussion, certainly more than places like db0 do. You are allowed to have an opinion here and others are allowed to contradict you. As @Alice@hilariouschaos.com said, if it’s not breaking our TOS then it’s fine.
You and your community are welcome here, assuming it’s not particularly spammy.

I tend to agree, if there was a way to actually federate with Threads, I’d be curious to give it a go.

That’s exactly what comes to my mind whenever I hear people talk about how things are a conspiracy.

- Comment on What kind of things would you get up to finally doing if death was after you? 5 months ago:
This is an interesting question, long story short I thought I was dying for a few days a while back (I’m fine).
Knowing my time could be really limited completely changed my perspective on life, I almost instantly stopped caring about most things that were important or I was preoccupied with just a day earlier.
My thoughts were a bit all over the place, but overall I just wanted to spend the time I have left in the most meaningful way I could, with the people I love.
- Comment on What's the best present you've ever received or given? 5 months ago:
I bought a Michael Jackson vinyl bobblehead figurine for someone who really loves Michael Jackson, for Christmas.
I thought it was a pretty shit present but I didn’t know much else about this person. She literally cried of joy when she saw it and thanked me a million times. I think this is the happiest I’ve ever made someone with a present, and it was pretty inexpensive.
