Oh yay! Federation happened!
Yes! Big appreciation to our admins for making it happen!
And to ours at Lemmygrad, who have tried to make the transition smoother (introducing custom emotes, etc.)
goooooooooooooooood morning lemmygrad
perhaps today we will explain our deepest lore: the tale of the DPRK soldier jpeg
I’m told it was very large

We come in peace. We have owls.
Ironically, the owls are not peaceful.
Damn straight. That nonviolent stuff’ll get you killed.
And, importantly, emojis
Oh dear. They’re huge on mobile at least
on the list of things to do is to resize all our hexbear emojis so they look normal when federating.
It depends on the client you are using. Agreed, doesn’t look great through the browser looking at Lemmygrad’s view on the post. Memmy for iOS doesn’t handle the HB emojis very well either. On Hexbear they look fine: https://hexbear.net/post/283821

On Memmy they’re acceptable but a bit wonky by shoving their URL in
. Kopmala animates at leastI noticed in Memmy, the animations are sped up about 2x though.
The owls are not what they seem
Beware of
Greeks bearing giftsbears gifting owls
Mind explaining the owls? I don’t know shit about Hexbear lore post r/CTH
Anyway welcome, comrades!!!
there’s a couple of prolific posters with “owl” in the name, there’s in jokes about them
Liberals on the internet just felt an overwhelming sense of dread settle upon them and don’t yet know why.
Also hi!
A spectre, perchance?
So can I use my hexbear emotes here?
Looks like I can. Blessed comrades of lemmygrad, I’m excited to post with you all.
The secret is that they’re actually just small regular images they added to a convenient menu.
i choose to believe it’s magic because that’s unsettling
Knowledge is liberating! You can make your own ‘emotes’!
We only post cringe
YAY MORE FRIENDS
Tell us about your interactions with libs.You can go to our dunk tank at !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml.
A lot of it you’ll find on random posts, even of ours, like this one
this is a bit I’ve seen posted here almost verbatim lmao.
yeah that was me lol I’ve got accounts on both idk why I didn’t mention it was on here, linking to comments is pretty broken so I was just describing the argument lol
I think our posting styles will take a bit to get used to lol
haha yeah, this place is a much less shitposty environment for sure lol
Story time! CW right extremist violence
Libs don't know that punching Nazis works
Back after the
reunification the former 
states had a trouble with Nazis, I ignore those within the police force but focus on unorganized ones.The organized right did quickly try to leverage their position and targeted young people especially i.e. by financing summer holidays, “national” (read right extremist) youth centers and alike. Some
’s that did social work at that time were proponents of “accepting youth work” which means to say “It is fine that you are a Nazi who expresses wishes to kill people, I hear you, I am here for you” (which didn’t work out well). In any case for various reasons the Nazis did use plenty violence and kill / torture people, if you were marginalized you were a higher likelyhood target. The police didn’t do a lot, the years are called “Baseballschläger Jahre” literally baseball bat years, cause that was among the most prominent weapons of them.1990 till … somewhat in the early 2000s https://nitter.net/search?q=%23Baseballschlägerjahre
Now what did slowly but surely create security for the
, for 
, 
, :bipoc:, 
comrades and friends?Antifascist self defense. This is what worked and secured physical safety and in parts still does. The actual story is this:
Local Nazis punched punks and leftists kids for years, antifa self defense is organized, a Nazi aggressor is beaten down, the libs decry the violence and yet after that attack in that small city the Nazi attacks mostly stopped. The violence of the years before was not enough for the libs to really care, the police didn’t care and more likely targeted you, but the self defense was suddenly wrong.Those things happened around that time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rostock-Lichtenhagen_riots
The
did as result of those racist pogroms decide to remove Asylum as fundamental individual right from its basic law (labeled “compromise”, a compromise with racists is pretty much always a compromise against the oppressed), which was written in there due to the experiences of Nazi Germany that marginalized always need places to escape to. However after the reunification and the fall of the Soviet Union Germany’s parties (CDU+FDP+Social Democrats of New Labour type) quickly decided that this was no longer true. Mostly to gather racist votes and for nationalist reasons.
It’s me, Jonathan12345@lemmygrad.ml. Greetings to all of you Hexbear comrades!
Hey, there, commiespammer@hexbear.net. It’s nice to meet you! It’s almost as if we’re the same person or something, lol. Praise the Padishah Kaiserin!
hol up…

Weird, but almost nostalgic experience to be a Chapo head since The Poop Touchening episode or thereabouts, follow it from Reddit to Chapo.chat, then hexbear, then sort of fall out of touch with it for years, then see it pop back up here on the fediverse.
Tell me the story of the poop touchening please! 🥺🙏
So the poop touching story was from I believe the 2018 midterms. Matt Christman had made a bet that the Dems would do poorly (I believe) with Virgil (Who’s Virgil?) and Virgil won because he generally speaking had a better grasp mathematically of the horse-race of electoral politics (which is why he was a wonk about them mattering). When Matt lost, he had to ‘touch the poop’, which was I believe Virgil’s cat’s poop.
Details may vary. It’s amazing to me that I remember that much.
Edit: it was also done live on-pod. I’d say it’s about the closest the pod ever got to ‘Adam shitting himself on air’.
Thank you!! Weird punishment but I guess weirder things have been done for losing bets.
Oh, I also remember that but I was actually referring to an episode that may have had another name. Basically, they were watching Amber’s cat, I believe, who proceeded to shit in the litter box.
They all tried to ignore it until someone was just like “ok holy shit that’s vile, I’m choking over here, what do we do?” And they proceeded to try to brainstorm how to do the very obvious task of scooping it and/ or removing it / the litter from the premises somehow.
Sorry to late response, lemmy.Sdf went down right after I posted the above (coincidence?) so I didn’t actually ever get notified of any replies
Oh Christ I had totally forgotten about that one, that is some DEEP lore.
I think originally the phrase was popularised by r/shitRedditSays, which was a sort of feminist subreddit that took the piss out of reddit’s reactionary/chauvinistic culture. They would say “Don’t touch the poop”, meaning don’t comment on the linked thread that’s getting discussed.
What OP is reffering to re Chapo I don’t know.
Oh I was imagining it more literally haha. I wonder what kinda poop had to be touched for it to become a whole event
Jesus, it was literal!
I originally saw that phrase on the Something Awful forums.
