redditors make a demsoc podcast called chapotraphouse but groundbreakingly they say the words "shid" and "fuck". other redditors like this podcast, so they make a subreddit where they socialism around while saying "shid" and "fuck"

liberals and chuds enter said subreddit, and get told to "post hog (their penis)" someone actually posts a picture of their dick in response to this, so it becomes a legendary bit

another bit is the "pig poop balls" where people would trick liberals and chuds into clicking on a link but it was actually just a picture of a pig pooping on its balls

just tons of legendary posters and posts, stuff about judy hopps being acab and shit, truly some greek creation mythology shit

eventually the subreddit gets quarantined, and then banned around same time the_donald (big trump subreddit) so reddit can appear to be both-sides the stated reasoning for this ban is that chapo posters kept saying "kill all slave owners" and apparently this is a bad thing to liberals

then in the small time before quarantine->ban someone made a lifeboat discord, and then a few people coded the site using a open source fork of the lemmy.ml stuff, most people migrated to the new site chapo.chat (which was soon renamed hexbear.net to remove the connection to the podcast which a lot of people barely listened to anymore(not that a lot of people listened to it when the chapotraphouse subreddit was up lmao))

we get some fun site culture in the moments where we thankfully crack down fuckin hard on transphobia (thanks tc_69) and push the site to read trans liberation: beyond pink and blue

a few years later the site wizards bring the site up to modern lemmy standards and federate with a bunch of people causing lib sites to preemptively defederate.

then the admins/mods do a bunch of hilarious circus fumbles every now and then but they get back up and keep rolling bc at the end of the day not all heroes wear capes some heroes temporarily wear clown wigs and learn from their mistakes and now we're in the modern era

OST for the post: https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=L31pory1RpI

"We’re headed for hexbear… That’s where our new home is now. Hey. That was some subreddit we had, huh? Four years ago… pinging the chuds… Posting pig poop balls… And they took it away. We're gonna rebuild it… Make a new place, together. That we can call home. Yeah, we were bears, alright. Slinking around out of spez’s sight, picking up whatever kind of dirty upvotes we could find. You name it, we did it… You see this? Hexbear… Our new home. A phantom of our former selves… Shitposts, dunks… We weren’t allowed either. Yeah, I remember it all."

[A flashback plays from 1 day ago, the attack on the_dredge_tank]

”Comrade… Why are we still here… Just to suffer? Every night, I can read UlyssesT's elon posts, and the random twitter feed lib posts… and even the lemmy.world posts… The comms we’ve lost… It won’t stop hurting, like they’re all still there… You feel it too, don’t you? I’m the one who got caught up with lemmy, a group above hexbear, even the chapos, and I was the parasite below, feeding off their votes… They came after you in the_dunk_tank, then the_dredge_tank. Lemmy just… keeps growing, federating with everything in its path, getting bigger and bigger. Who knows how big now… comrade… We're gonna make ‘em give back our past… Take back everything that we’ve lost. And we won’t rest… until we do. Our new dunk comm. I don’t know how long it’ll take, but we'll make it bigger… better than before… comrade...”

[The helicopter lands at c/commrequest]

”Things have changed, comrade. We pull in upvotes, users, just to combat comm closure. Rubbing our noses in thirty rainbow reply lines, all for a new comm. The site calls for dunks, and we answer. No greater good, no just cause. They sent us to c/counterpropaganda… But we’re going even deeper”

”I know… I’m already a joker. Reddit’s not my kind of place anyway.”

”Chapo dot chat, for four whole years. That ends today. Now you’re not logged off, and we’re not reddit shitposters... We’re hexbears.”

”We can dunk, comrade. And you can recruit the badposters that can do it.”

”Just one thing, comrade… This isn’t about the_dunk_tank… We’re fighting for the new comm.”
