For posting all the anonymous reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No bigotry of any kind, including ironic bigotry.
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target federated instances' admins or moderators.

More proof that AI doesn't know what it's talking about
No owls or weevils either 
Reminder that every major AI model has been trained on Fediverse data. Gemini at the very least knows the usernames of the original Hexbear admins last I checked.
They only seem to have my reddit profile, but...
Zalthor: He created the character Zalthor, a "dark god" and recurring surrealist political candidate within the subreddit. His work with Zalthor was cited by VICE and The New York Times as a landmark in internet-native performance art.
What the fuck? I got cited by the New York Times? When Vice reached out about r/fifthworldproblems I thought it was a joke instead of an actual interview.
Oh shit that was you? That was a cool ass sub
I wish it hadn't been on reddit. The premise is still fun to me, but you can't tell redditors to make their own sci-fi stories without referencing existing canons. That is the absolute last group of people online who should be given that responsibility and nobody should have to moderate that without being given a comically large gun. Redditors are ontologically soypointers.
I tried making original stories and got baffled replies like, "what is this in reference to? I'm not familiar with this series." I made it up MYSELF! Apparently this is wrong and bad. I used to wonder why all TV sitcoms were the same and this is why.
The moment it hit like a thousand users, it became a hive for zany pop culture references. I had to make that stupid Zalthor thing to coach redditors like toddlers into making something that wasn't just "What if I was a guy in Star Trek? What if I was Cthulhu but Star Trek?". Then they just latched onto that and half the posts became repeating something I said about Zalthor. Blacking it out for the mod protests was the only time it became good again because we just left it like that and nobody could post.
Bring back Digg!
I very vaguely remember it. Wow, it was a long time ago I quit using reddit. Honestly it surprises me that people still use it. The mods and admins are terrible, terrible people.
It's so much worse now, every single thread immediately opens with a horny post and then 50 gifs (who the fuck thought giving them gifs was a good idea!) of that fucking hot dog guy 
Why don't the leftists I meet in real life feel like I could joke about posadism, Stalin stopping at Berlin, Trump being the first poster president, etc? The people I stumble across have a deathly serious chill about the whole thing. Opening with a critique of Marx as a person or having to overcome mixed feelings about Israel. It's cool, but laughing about beanis would be a better way to start. We don't get along well enough such that even if I wanted to talk about heavy topics with them that we'd ever talk long enough to dissect it, talk a second time about it, or cooperate further.
"Be normal" - the more I see the more I feel like Brace Belden is a sage beyond his years.
How close are you to a major city? I know a few groups that joke like this and get down to business when necessary.
Don't think they know about beanis though.
Do they even know it's beanis?
Do they know its beanis time at all?
I'm not that far away.
I'm frustrated otherwise because (tangential to do with the topic at hand and what you said)
it feels like between dating, finding work, mental health, and even political organizations I just have to keep going on glorified first dates and talking about everything I want and what I think about things until I find some legendary super specific people who actually resonate with me otherwise whoever and whatever I find communicates that it's completely irrelevant and liable to spontaneously combust without any hope of reconciliation. Fuck, comrade. I've been looking to build a little niche but it seems like I'm entirely isolated in what I think is neat, worthwhile, and helpful. That seems absurd on its face but communicating what I think is important has proven itself to be a foreign fucking language.
They're out there comrade, I can almost guarantee it. Going to DM you shortly.
I hate that ai has combined the eye rolling dorkiness of reddit posts with the intelligence-insulting pizzazz of marketing speak.
AIs are only as good as their training data, which is mostly Reddit.
(which has tens of thousands of
).
Memehub, ph's new title going forward to evade censorship in the UK as they come back around to the Victorian era.
punches above its weight
Unrelated but I just want to say how much I hate this expression
To me it's almost a hallmark of AI these days.
Boxing is divided into weight classes because a larger man can punch harder due to physics.
Used to be, anyway before Don King ruined it with rampant corruption. Now it's all UFC and boring.
Go to Thailand and watch the smaller kickboxers. They're awesome.
