Just finding this sub, also a hexbear user since before it was called hexbear. I see a lot of screenshots of comments from our site where it’s left as an exercise for the reader to fill in some blanks with “and then they were bad” or something, I don’t know. I’m genuinely confused how most of these could be seen as objectionable when they’re either the most obvious of jokes (and not some schrodinger’s asshole kind of jokes, where you decide if it’s a joke based on whether you get called out or not. I’m taking about actual unambiguous jokes) or are just saying a totally different thing than the title says they’re saying. Why, if you think we’re so awful, would every single post leave so much up to the reader to interpret uncharitably? Surely, once in a while we would slip up and say “the quiet part out loud” wouldn’t we? You’ll find that right-wingers, fascists, nazis, etc can’t keep the mask on so long, so why are we so “good” at hiding our malicious intentions? It’s because we aren’t hiding anything.

2·11 months agoI hope that you will leave this comment on account of the fact that I am presently, and will continue, engaging respectfully in good faith and respecting the rules of this sub.
I understand that you hate hexbear but be honest here, what do you mean to accomplish with fabrications like this? You surely knew when you posted this that it was a joke right? That this doesn’t say anything like what you’re suggesting it does? I really don’t see how you could miss that fact.
In this post we see poster #1 scoring far left/lib on the test (the farthest possible position from fascist), then poster two with more than half as many upvotes in 1/5th the time (22 and 18 at present) says that political compasses are bullshit, as well as the countries in the sample on the left placed apparently based on vibes alone? Don’t take my word for it, there’s the entire rest of the 172 replies in that thread saying the same things I am and scoring as bottom left as possible. So I’m asking you @goat@sh.itjust.works what are you seeing here that is objectionable?
Can you show any evidence of hexbear harboring or not doing enough to stop Nazis? Where did you get this information?
We can’t see you from the hexbear side by the way.
Worse than that, if you’re looking for the program in the terminal like when you install the thing it’s still called the old name, like:
Files > nautilus
Disk usage analyzer > baobab
They used to have character. The k- naming scheme is just a hint that isn’t a qt app really.
