On this week this niche leftist forum was first launched (its was the 24th or 25th i think) Formed from the Chapotraphouse subreddit remnants that survived the reddit ban over the calls of violence against confederate slave owners, the first admins decided to use Lemmy as its base. Originally called Chapo.chat (ChaCha) Hexbear has grown into one of the biggest instances in the lemmyverse.

In this last 5 years hexbear has survived many diffent events from numerous struggle sessions, mod clique-users conflicts, wrecker incursions from other instances and sites, this image dprk-soldier, a decent amount of fedidrama with other instances and the domain crisis, we still thrive with over 5 million comments and 375k posts.

I still continue my dictatorial rule over the general megathread for now over 4 years now, this time locked in the chapo comm so it can be more easily moderated, c/indigenous has now grown to 750 subs which im very happy plus now i take care of the empoc mega which has been pretty chill so far.

I still really enjoy the fedidrama, it fun to see all the fedilibs always thinking about hexbear despide the fact that they are on defederated instances and they can ust ignore us, we live rent free on their minds

adding every album with an :awooga: anime girl on it to my library as a bit

come across an artist with like fifty albums that fit the bill

they all came out this year

it's fucking AI shit

now I gotta scrub through my library checking every artist to make sure they're real

"atmospheric" music, ie stuff that by definition you're not paying super close attention to is absolutely infested with ai garbage. YouTube Music needs to have a way to block this shit because I don't want to support it.

It's nice that as beers have been getting progressively better, non-alcoholic beers have also been getting better. Like the microbreweries near me have beenputting them out. They're not the same, but they're not bad if I'm not paying attention.

I find at least half the time I want to have a beer I'm more interested in the ritual than the specific flavour, and that ratio changes in the favour of non-alcoholic as I have had more actual alcohol.

Man, I am at a rich kid musician festival in rich people world.

I just want to say all of these kids lives are built upon a lie and have truly never done anything by themselves.

I have come from nothing, I have suffered so much and I still continue to make art. Everything I do is truly my own. Their art doesnt exist, it's all built on a lie, privilege and theft in most cases. Whereas my shit has integrity, its the real deal, you cannot approach me.

I'm not as polished as some of these freaks but I'm infinitely more interested in the art I'm creating and building towards opposed to the foundationally empty, hollow, shallow skindeep bullshit they got.

Eat the rich fuck this place

Lmao I somehow forgot about the "OOPS we lost the domain" drama. Did someone have to fork over the $1k+ that the auction went up to? Did the laid off fed who owned the credentials to the login give them up?

I think there's almost definitely a leak or some shit in the pipes to my house because my partner just paid the water bill and it was like $170 and it says it's basically $30 plus $7.69 for every 1000 gallons and idk but im pretty sure there's no way we're using 20,000 gallons of water a month

Amazing how you can be watching one of those content-stealing "spooky stuff" youtube channels and one of the featured stories will literally just be "[droning ambient sounds] a tragic accident happened in china and according to some guys on reddit their evil authoritarian government tried to cover up some details isn't that spooky aren't you spooked??"

you have opinions, they are your own. few things on earth are objectively good or bad. you and your opinions do not dictate the opinions of others.
