Fuck ada tbh, has done fuck all to protect trans people and has done a fuckton to protect the kind of people that say this shit. There’s even more shit in the thread here: https://lemmy.ml/post/22194896
its a fucking shitshow dear god i dont know how marcie survives the sea of morons
its very strange to see trans servers and sites that are so pathetic at actually defending trans people and educating the cis people around them. Trans spaces are for trans people, and while cis people are allowed, any weird shit from them should get them an immediate ban. Several of the shit talkers are just cis randos giving their hateful opinion.
thank god for people like Kristina and TC_69 to have a competent defense of trans people.
A few of my bot accounts have been doing some excellent work over there.
All these people shitting on hexbear made me discover it a few months ago. I was kinda accepting shitty things on other Lemmy instances such as libbed up shit and anti veganism as Im used to it IRL.
Finding hexbear was a godsent. The coomunity always feels very nice. I learn a lot of historical shit and can re experience the feeling of message boards on the late 90s early 2000s.
I still have no clue how to use the emoji pictures everyone’s been using though. I copied one once in a post and gave up in all my subsequent ones lmao
Once you learn the emojis you unlock your true posting potential
I still have no clue how to use the emoji pictures
There’s a menu button here (at least on desktop) that shows the whole list, grouped by category:
Otherwise, just type a colon and start typing a word after it (with no spaces) to bring up the inline emoji picker, which will try to search on emoji name and/or keyword, e.g.,
is :blahaj:but typing:transwill also show it in the list, because it has been tagged with “trans” as a keyword.The emote previews take so long to load for me. I only ever use the kelly one for puns mostly, but it’s not the first result for kelly
These need some sort of caching mechanism. The UI is ass too because you can’t see what is loaded/not-loaded, and everything shifts as it loads.
A CDN would be ideal, but that’s kind of rough on our operating budget.
True, but this should probably be tackled upstream.
Like adding (some subset of) emoji using the cache storage API in the lemmy-ui project.
Idk if thumbnails are ever generated for the images either or just served raw from pict-rs, but IMO lemmy should be downscaling emojis to common resolutions for use in the UI, so users aren’t loading 400 thicc ass image files just to open the picker. Would also decrease bandwidth usage on threads that have a bunch of emotes.
It’s intentional. By forcing people to memorize a bunch of obscure emoji tags we’re rewiring their brains into an understanding of the immortal science of Marxism-Leninism
This is called materialism
boy have i had it all wrong 😅
Thanks for the explanation!
If you know the name of it you can do :emoji-name: and if you want to see the name of an emoji someone else used you can press the “View Source” button on their comment (looks like a piece of paper) to see it’s text code or hover your mouse over it.
For example
is : logo : (without the spaces)Alternatively, as you are typing up a comment there is a little smiley face button above the text field you can press for a little emoji selecter ui.
Same for me just last september

First you type a : then a menu pops up. That’s only if your on the web (best experience). I usually use Voyager and it has no Emoji menu or support in the comment/post editor (bad experience).
Agreed. Hexbear especially is using trans people primarily as a shield against criticism. You will not find a community there.
Speaking as an admin that had to deal with them.
So, how did we scratch [email protected] ? I’ve yet to see a salty admin that didn’t act like a chauvinist piece of shit before malding over us.
You will not find a community there.
:agony-shivering: I hate this shit so much. Hexbear is the best community I have ever been a part of.
So they can’t take a joke and are so rabidly anticommunist they get scared by cute ushanka emojis, got it.
Damn, the period right after federation went active was so good for posting.
While that time was really entertaining, I think I appreciate the federation of HB and LG more.
federation was over a year ago
lmao one of those screenshots is nothing but two users discussing how to use emojis on hexbear.

How dare they have emojis with hats
Ayyyy that’s me explaining how emojis work! Good to know that being generically helpful is evil and spooky.
I had no idea they cited my post for this
I posted shitjustworks into defederation pretty much single-handedly, but I had no idea this instance even existed
I lament that almost all the furry federated social media platforms I know of are run by extremely tech-brained
turbo-libs 
if it makes you feel any better pawb social seems to average around the same amount of users as just the /c/furry hexbear comm alone does, with a front page post getting like 40 upvotes after an entire day lmao
I rremember that! fun times, miss all the libs we could dunk on. Miss all the obvious lies and accusations of brigading too
LMAO
I know that I helped get us de-fedded from pawb by making a version of the Grover (of Groverhaus game) Iraq war copypasta in reference to Blahaj Zone. I’m sure there were other incidents, but I remember that my post was cited specifically.
lmao what a bunch of losers
Thank you for your service.
20·7 days agoI just read it from a screenshot in the pawb thread. Great bit! Wish I had been there at the time to witness it
They’re calling us human shields 😭hamasbear :(
✌️🙂✌️
zionism baked into every fiber of their being
also the survey clearly shows we are using the cis people here as human cannon fodder in the posting wars
Crackers like those is deadass why I stopped dallying with white queers, all the way around. I won’t organize with them, I won’t date them, I won’t cede them emotional intimacy, I won’t even concede them physical intimacy. I don’t fuck genocidal sellouts; honestly, I don’t even want to know genocidal sellouts. To get in my bed, in my social circle, or in my organization, you need more melanin in you than the whole mass of these chalky bleach-demons; if you one of these sharkfuckers, I’m really finna look the other way when you get hassled in these streets.
I won’t claim 'em. Poof, vamoose, spawn of a snitch. You need an Actual intersectional lifestyle, not Blahaj’s consumer-crackery that hasn’t a qualm in the world about knobslobbing cops, corporates, and fucking Mossad to be around me.
more and more people are saying this
extremely based extremely based
I hear that in Soviet Hexbear, they use cis human wave attacks, and only one in every two cis people are even given a weapon!
whenever a poster falls another takes up their keyboard to keep posting, because they dont have enough keyboards
Hexbear has no cis users. If you’re “cis” and start posting on Hexbear, you either get banned or become trans.
i’m armed and ready to go
Human shields? We’re literally the majority of the site lol
Indistinguishable from IDF genocider rhetoric.
People like this would murder us all given the opportunity, cis or trans, doesn’t matter.
Pawb.social literally doesn’t lmao they defederated before we even were federated lmao
Honestly with the way pawb preemptively went? I suspect either nazifurs or burnedfurs in their admin staff. (Today on ‘venn diagrams that are nearly a circle…’) You don’t just preemptively defederate from a hard-progressive (read: from anarchist to ML) instance without having some fascist scum in you.
i realised mixed it up with the anarchist solarpunk instance, pawb actually defedded us around the same time as we defederated blahaj
Oh. …Doesn’t change my view of them rly; but at least it wasn’t the aesthetes’ swiftness lmao
Wait hexbear has its own matrix room?
we have a bunch of separate channels, empoc i think made one, and traa here has one
interesting, I did not know that
tracha is pretty active too!
you’re telling me now for the first time

I expect nothing of the consoomer-queers or the instance they infest; these are the same people that ROUTINELY sell Pride out to cops and corporates, forgetting the faces of their mothers every time they do so. Forever the weakest links. I expect nothing but three-nos, gold-stars and Blaire White-expies.
😔
you are our strongest poster fr
Going out amongst the libs like the Narodniks Going to the People
After allowing 196 and chasers into their space, did you expect anything less?
except the slander here seems to be leading people towards worse outcomesdeleted by creator
most people are on the lemmyverse are liberals and the same is true for trans people.
it’s depressing to see them coalesce around the same people that put them in this situation that they’re in to begin with and we can’t stop them from making that choice.
whose Kristina and TC_69? are they in the post somewhere? (i can’t find them)
Oh they’re not in the post, Kristina is a top mod here, and TC69 was a previous admin
both had a very large role in making hexbear a fortress for trans users
and TC69 was a previous admin
a current admin!
did they comment on that post?
Kristina used to be more active, TC_69 left a while ago, before i joined i think. So i don’t think so, no.
smh yall talking about me like im a ghost
i have been fairly busy lately tho
Its almost like we can still see her messages appear sometimes.
thanks, i was confused because i thought i missed them somehow in the post.
how long had it been for those two?
Kristina’s last post was a minute ago, I think she just used to post more.
TC69 hasn’t posted on her main account in 3 years and stepped down from being an admin before that. There’s always a chance that she’s still posting under an alt.
TC69 is actually half the userbase, having llms generate the majority of comments and posts here
TC_69 left that long ago? Now I feel old.
She’s actually back now lol
okay why do I keep seeing emojis of what looks like Angela Ziegler, but prefaced with ‘top’
Mercy is not a top; Pharah’s DEFINITELY the damagedom in that relationship
haven’t really looked at the ikea fanclub instance since i deleted my account a few months ago and it’s always nice to get a reminder of why i try to avoid posting there or even just look at it in general.
it’s always nice to get a reminder of why i try to avoid posting there or even just look at it in general.
When I accidentally wonder into a trans thread on someplace like
or beehaw, I’m always like “wtf is with these comments?” and then check the instance…Why I’m glad I’m on an instance that doesn’t fed with them or Beehaw-- I’d be crashing out on those polly-assed mfers so much more frequently.
How can you be trans and be like this?
Minor technical point: There are many distinct trans experiences
Very true :catgirl-happy:
