Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

Signing on to Hexbear this morning and seeing dozens of "I'm curious" posts across every comm, realizing that we must have really gotten a live one while I was gone, and tracking down the Patient Zero post. It's like a scavenger hunt for a dumb take. Good times, comrades, keep up the excellent work. rat-salute-2

That dork also left tracks on his home instance to out himself. Like, if you're going on an adventure-time you don't leave a breadcrumb trail, even if it's a boring-assed brigading adventure.

Really, anything concrete beyond speculation, deriving from a sh.itjust.works user commenting that they'll infiltrate le Hexbear.net for the lols? I don't see a trail.

[–] propter_hog@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago

A bit of speculation sprinkled in with the user having no alibi to the accusation beyond "nuh uh 😤"

This comment by Sabre363@sh.itjust.works was posted to the chaser lemmy 25 minutes before the WhiskeyOaks account on Hexbear was made, followed a few hours later by the Sabre363 clarifying that the controversial image they were thinking of posting here was "taken in 1989," followed a few days later by WhiskeyOaks doing exactly what Sabre363 was proposing.

It's not conclusive by any means, but the timing of it all suggests it's probably the same dork.

edit: Also here's another thread where Sabre363@sh.itjust.works defends AI, doesn't appear to understand what Occam's Razor is (just like WhiskeyOaks), and is just a huge debate pervert.

Oh... I see... that MFer...

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 29 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Do you want to know what happened or is it more fun not knowing?

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 23 points 2 months ago

I think he's curious

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 2 months ago

My thought half the time this happens lol

A dweeb thought they'd owned us by posting a picture of the tiny-man square tank man and saying "I'm curious, what is this a picture of?" Only to for everyone to shrug, tell them exactly what it was and send him several videos of the tank man leaving peacefully.

I was there, but if you want the biggest breadcrumb go find REgon, they were really up in that lib's grill

[–] propter_hog@hexbear.net 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You can always count on REgon to come through on a lib's ass

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 18 points 2 months ago

volcel-judge well well well, what's all this then? Who's talking of coming through asses?

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They really got to me, I think it was the whole trying to save face thing they did.

[–] Future_Honkey@hexbear.net 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah the typical pivot towards civility you get from the most frustrating type of internet warrior. You can almost see them sulking thru the screen, like a bully with his ear in a teacher's hand or a teen caught in the middle of being yelled at by their parent.

I personally enjoy your style of not mad but disappointed, satisfying to read. I just hope you don't take to much damage layin into them types.

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago

It's an outlet, but I do have a tendency to hyperfocus. Which isn't that I take damage, but I'd rather direct that energy elsewhere at times.

And thank you so much for saying you enjoy it! That means a lot <3

[–] HelluvaBottomCarter@hexbear.net 23 points 2 months ago

You were curious and you asked what happened here.

[–] TheBroodian@hexbear.net 20 points 2 months ago

In general I have to say that I love this site's shenanigans
