A place to point people to see what we're all about, the defining moments, the self-mythololoy, the best bits, the banned posters who have made us what we are today

Rules:

  1. Content submitted must be at least two weeks old.

  2. Include links and/or screenshots of content as appropriate. Include any narrative necessary for context as appropriate.

  3. Ping a mod if you put a lot of work into an effort post so it can be pinned and featured.

  4. Posting old struggle sessions is fine, but absolutely no relitigating them in the comments.

I like to imagine that a car-sharing club is still somehow the solution to posting on reddit.

Lol! But imagine it said "Join Hexbear Today!"

Text on car's more annoying because there's actual details, not just a gradient. But I'm happy enough with it

Oh yeah, that's the stuff!

oh fuck and it being in image form might get around the stupid autofilter at least temporarily. Especially if you hide the image in a link to an external image hosting site with just the text: "when you post on reddit" or something.

When you post on hexbear, you're posting with Stalin stalin-heart

Then where do you post with Churchill or Mussolini?

feddit.uk isn't quite as open about their desire to gas indians en masse, but they're largely carrying the shitty white supremacist torch of Churchill

I feel like my experiences with reddit don't mirror the horrible experiences people seem to have here, but I also only post in like a few small shitposting subs. I couldn't imagine trying to talk politics on that site.

It's been okay for niche stuff and has helped with trans resources

Don't go on /r/worldnews lol

Also don't look at the profiles of random commenters

This. I do not interact with reddit-logo anymore. Holy shit though if I don't type "[obscure problem I'm having] reddit" into a search engine, and immediately find a solution. It is an enormous resource. I just wish the general population weren't such a bunch of shitbags.

Case in point: I was on the transhumanism subreddit a couple days ago, lurking, and I saw someone posted the actual transhumanist manifesto. Invariably a bunch of chuds oozed out of the woodwork to shit on LGBT people.

Apparently, according to reddit-logo "transhumanism" is licking elon's boots. Who knew?
