Diva (she/her)

it renders them correctly - I just checked- but it doesn’t show the site-specific emoji picker, it just has a default plaintext one:

Pretty much every client I’ve used doesn’t handle hexbear emojis particularly well, so I stick to browser. I’ll give that a try though.

this is why I usually browse Lemmy in new/comments/all, I just wish it had more than one page at a time or the ability to set more posts in one page

I do occasionally get some weird vibes outside of /traaa on there, though so far nothing like what you’ve run into. If you have any names I can look into this, I have mod privileges there and it could help me look out for sus stuff in the future.

Part of why I was interested in helping out there is because their megathreads are actually very active and I saw that whenever stuff like /tttt/ brainwormed shit came up there were lots of posters with actually good views on gender constructs chiming in to combat/explain unhealthy gender expectations.

To be clear I don’t think I said agender pronouns in my last reply, that would bother me too- my point was that in the options available for that (mandatory) slot there are agender options - none/use name is actually the default option for all users (I made an account so I could poach emoji links).

I like that it’s more isolated from the rest of lemmy, the vibe is just different in those comms and I have to imagine it’s related to not constantly having people rolling up to sealion about reactionary/anticommunist shit. I do still like to interact with the rest of lemmy at the same time, which is why I’m pretty happy on .ml.

I do hope the support for community/server specific flairs gets some traction, it seems like it would actually have a pretty broad appeal and could be used for pronouns in addition to other things.

The display names option does limit your actual name length combined with pronouns, hexbear it’s a separate field. I do appreciate the arguments against having it mandatory/integrated into the main lemmy. Here’s the github post about it, the lemmy.ml admins agree with your line.

That said, on hexbear I see plenty of people keep none/use name and they’ve also got specifically agender ones like null/void, undecided, any.

‘people who disagree with me are all the same, banning people for dissent on a hair trigger’

looks at moderation history CW: bigotry

Charming.

in b4 ‘it was only tactical bigotry’: still bigotry

Hard to fault any of the bans/removals I see here, looks like centrist extremists are capable of being toxic AF too

I’m inclined to agree, they don’t want people starting to consider social murder as a crime worth seeking justice for, because the entire government is complicit in a vast network of social murder. An enormous yearly sacrifice all in the name of preserving ‘markets’ for housing, food, transportation, and healthcare.

I had a friend in college who I was briefly interested in, she was nice but I found her to be way too conservative for me to really feel comfortable with so in hindsight I’m glad she ended up dating ( and dumping) one of my other friends instead.

I originally found it surprising how often you run into the same names, feels a lot more small town than reddit in that way.

They’re usually a little more creative, like this:

For some reason the bank won’t let me take out an 8 figure loan to start my international piracy business. I’ll be starting up a gofundme.

the president can in fact pardon someone before they are convicted of a crime! Nixon famously pardoned by Ford

I mean it’s a rhetorical point, I’m not surprised that the Biden regime is going to execute a freedom fighter instead of one of the demiurgic archons tormenting us

The real question is why hasn’t Biden pardoned Luigi but he did pardon the child slavery guy

I wish they would merge in the pronoun support too, one of the better hexbear features imo.

I believe they forked from Lemmy before federation existed close to 4 years ago, added things like custom emojis and then only re-merged after federation was implemented then turned it on.

Lemmy is my only social media interaction these days, the content has improved, and the communities feel more distinct than they did a year ago. That could just be me getting up to speed though.

It was a nice surprise finding out that the left wing instances on here are actually pretty chill, way more so than on Reddit these days.

I don’t own one, but the previous (non wheeled ones) have been around for a while, they’re on Amazon with mixed reviews, people on Reddit seem to have been using them too.

This list price for this bigger more performant one seems pretty high though at $100k
