It's honestly incredibly satisfying to know that we still have it after years of not being on r/chapotraphouse. Chapo-posting remains the only real, viable, way to engage with these insufferable morons.
There's so much
in that comment section.
If they would stop having dunk worthy takes we'd stop dunking. Simple as
frfr
They only think that because they deserve to get dunked on. We didn't have any federation for years and years, and so couldn't really do any dunking. Currently we have very minimal federation, and so can't do all that much dunking. So really, dunking is a very small amount of our culture, and most of our criticism of people is against things not on lemmmy, about people that will likely never see that criticism, which isn't really dunking, and definitely isn't trolling.
They are viewing it through the myopic lens of their own self-actualization. They get dunked on, they get trolled, so they think Hexbear is all about trolling and dunking. They don't actually engage with us, so they don't see that we have a massive chunk of people focused almost exclusively on news. We are probably 1/3 news posting and analysis site, with no trolling at all. For the rest of our posting, the vast majority of it is still internal, and we generally don't troll each other. So badposting, the trans mega, the daily mega, it all counters their narrative. We also have a book club (two sorta, lol), and a big movie club.
We dunk in Slop, and troll in other instances (generally counter-trolling, often we don't troll first). Slop is tiny compared to News and the rest of our site. Hexbear could stop dunking and trolling completely, and the vast majority of Hexbears would barely notice the difference.
If anyone actually wants to understand Hexbear, they should lurk Hexbear for a good long while. They would see we aren't trolls, we barely care about the rest of Lemmy, we care about communism.
I do have to admit that's fun to watch clueless libs wandering in here having shyte takes and then getting dunked on, though.
But ofc they fire the first shot.
Pretty sure multiple said the same when complaining about join lemmy showing hexbear.net. Like are they trying to get people go sign up or think it's bad?
