Is it an hexadecimal bear? A hexagonal bear? I am curious but I will also choose the funniest answer as the real one

It is a HEXahedral BEARing. Yes, a cuboid shaped rolling component.

The Fediverse logo is a profile of a dodecahedron, but because Hexbear was a fork from Lemmy before federation was achieved, the picture still had 6 sides instead of 12.

Every attempt to add faces to the titular component has been dismissed as revisionism.

Ahh, leftists. We'll call anything revisionism.

Copyediting? You better believe that's revisionism; the misspellings of bouejoiesi will remain exactly as they are.
