We can be radicalized

Granted I only used sh.itjust.sucks because it was the first instance recommended to me. However, it was during the brief time when hexbear was a boogeyman to all that I was exposed to true leftist thought. It took about a month or two of reading yogthuos memes before I read theory

Anyway I thought I'd give a hopepost, I genuinely was a turbolib

Also, I wanted to ask, is it not possible to change your display name on hexbear? I tried to do it a few times and throguh jerboa and it would change back, I also tried to do it through browser and just couldn't click on the displayname box

i'm pretty sure we use black magic fuckery (read: frontend code) to repurpose the display name field to enforce mandatory pronoun tags

We all just make new accounts each time we think of a funnier name smh

we use the display name for pronouns so not until lemmy supports tags on usernames

i used to be a turbolib too, i always talk to them in good faith if they seem to want to talk in good faith. it can be a very slow process, never lose hope!
