Feel like that hasn't happened in a while.
I miss them 
I'll take the contrary position, I find reading a dozen dunks of ppb and other derivative roasts cringe. Feels like the "two minute hate". Yeah yeah I know. I just don't like being mean.

The gap in understanding was really something to behold, like being Dracula and every once in a while some villager shows up with a wooden crucifix and some prayed-over creek water, thinking they're gonna be the one to banish the monster.
Actually you tankies are more like voldemort and I'm the legendary guy with the scar who's here to maintain the status quo
We know that JK Rowling didn’t originally intend Harry to be a cop because if she had she would have named him Thumble Wifebeater
Honestly I almost feel like we should loosen the mod policy to let some back in. It was a good bonding exercise for us, I felt like we all got along better when we had Libs to dunk on.
You can just go outside of hexbear to lemmy dot ml and get the same thing.
yeah but i cant go there with my @hexbear.net username so that they all tremble in indignation
you can! lemmy.ml is run by commies who are just less strict moderators than we are, so they're still federated. Just turn your front page on here to "All" instead of "Local" or subscribed

I'm very non-confrontational IRL

There's actual consequences for this behavior IRL, like losing friends, jobs, getting the cops called on you
I've said this since forever. People talk about hexbear pre-federation as if it was a good place. It was stale, full of people arguing over rocks and when they weren't doing that they were posting about how much better a site this is than Reddit.
I liked the bit I had going during election season where I just linked them the last person I argued with, since they all said the same. Ended having a link-chain of 8 or so.
I still routinely conduct ideological tests on Hexbear though.
Any comment of yours that doesn't include a graph sometimes feel like an ideology test. If I can see a picture has been attached, then I usually know to take you seriously.
If everybody gets paid the same, what's the incentive to be a doctor?
Idk, Cuba seems to pull it off.
Yeah by forcing people to become doctors at gunpoint. Slave doctors are still slaves
I would have thought this was too hamfisted if I hadn’t heard Rand Paul say it almost verbatim
Anime tells me a slave doctor would be metal asf tho

Me too, dunking is fun. We ban them too quickly now and also everyone knows to stay away from us by now
now they just make up shit about us to get mad in their defederated instances
They did it when we were federated too. It was fun 
I kinda miss it too. It always amused me to see them come in here with a smug attitude to own the tankies, and then get dunked on relentlessly. But maybe it's just me and my frustration at the state of things in the West which causes me get some sort of gratification from it.
I could take a shift as the lib
Thanks, I really needed a break
Maybe we should have one bit account that just posts lib takes in every thread, that'd be fun.
Neera Tanden was already banned
Did they get banned? I knew it had been a while since I'd last seen them. I just figured they were busy trying to coup Iran.
We already do it's
Like the beauocracy but intentionally bad? Maybe that's the part that bit was missing
Same. Kind of feel defederation was the wrong move.
Most defederated us though, not that we wouldn't have if they hadn't, but they did do it.
I do miss being federated though. It was a lot of fun explaining people how works
I feel like I'm going to have to edit a /s into all these posts for the next time someone goes through my post history
