I don’t just mean outrage or regular rage, I mean shock that someone was to the left of “legal weed and free college but only for those that operate a successful business for 3 years in a disadvantaged community” 
takes.
I think federating took them by surprise, looking back. For about a week, those smug liberals were at a loss to even fathom what Hexbears were saying, and could only chant bullshit about how we’re Russian/Chinese bots.
Sure they still do that but they’ve slightly adapted to Hexbear presence.
Sure, Hexbear was its own kind of echo chamber, but I think it got a weird sense of solidarity overall and the internal struggle sessions were mitigated somewhat by just how sheer fucking liberal the federated communities were revealed to be next door.
Especially programming.dev. What the fuck is up with those cryptofascists?
You get plenty of good folks in programming, but you also get high volumes of:
Lots of underlying drivers of reactionary thought.

It’s hilarious to see people call this place an echo chamber.
I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a more divided group on literally any given topic.
I can say the word cats and start an argument where I’m taking shit from three different sides, pretty sure thats not an echo chamber.
What kind of cats?

Outside ones
No! Stop!
I love when we go for a walk in the neighborhood and random kitties come up to us and vibe. That’s why I adopt cats and set them free in our back yard.
What, are there people against outdoor cats here?
😠
not sure if your serious, but in case; they decimate indigenous fauna such as birds etc
Good thing there aren’t any fauns where I live, deer rarely come around my neighborhood.
What’s wrong with outdoor cats, I wuv kitties
😠
Unironically have outdoor cats bcs I missed the struggle session and honestly I’d feel mean trapping them indoors all the time
😠
😠
Gulag!
you should submit this to !emoji@hexbear.net
I think it might very well already be submitted. Someone at hexbear used it as an emoji so I saved it (because it’s awesome) and I used it now by simply uploading it because I don’t know how people get the emojis to appear in the line.
Do I have to be registered on hexbear to get emojis like walter-breakdown to pop up? Or is there a command I’m not entering right? I know I’m doing something wrong.
not seeing it but there’s well more than 1200 so it’s entirely possible I missed it.
and yeah, emotes are instance specific. feature got upstreamed from hexbear but not a lot of instances are using it atm.
Tragic.
Thanks though!
Its full of dudes who make a fuckton of money, lack self awareness, and chase early retirement, they fully think there is a meritocracy. That makes them treat poorer people accordingly.
Unfortunately they don’t realize that they are closer to being homeless than they are to being at their daddy Elon or Zuck’s level of wealth. One cancer diagnosis and it’s over
