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.
UPHOLD TC69 THOUGHT
They’re calling us human shields 😭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.
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
i’m armed and ready to go
Hexbear has no cis users. If you’re “cis” and start posting on Hexbear, you either get banned or become trans.
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
Pawb.social literally doesn’t lmao they defederated before we even were federated 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
you’re telling me now for the first time
tracha is pretty active too!

After allowing 196 and chasers into their space, did you expect anything less?
How can you be trans, live the trans experience, and be like this?
Minor technical point: There are many distinct trans experiences
😔
Going out amongst the libs like the Narodniks Going to the People
you are our strongest poster fr
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
Same for me just last september
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.Thanks for the explanation!
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.
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 😅
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.
but dont you realize were actually tankies and very toxic and mean???
hyuck hyuck
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).
marcie is built different fr
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 natebluehooves@pawb.social ? 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.
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.
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.
federation was over a year ago
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
LMAO
I rremember that! fun times, miss all the libs we could dunk on. Miss all the obvious lies and accusations of brigading too
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 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.
Thank you for your service.lmao what a bunch of losers
16·11 hours agoI just read it from a screenshot in the pawb thread. Great bit! Wish I had been there at the time to witness it
brb going to sprinkle some poison on my mutual aid fund
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.
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.

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…
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
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.
She’s actually back now lol
TC_69 left that long ago? Now I feel old.
TC69 is actually half the userbase, having llms generate the majority of comments and posts here
Serious question: is it not callous as hell for myself, as a cishet dude, to be telling trans people in the US that the negative outcome here was coming either way? What’s a better line to take?
myself, as a cishet dude, to be telling trans people in the US that the negative outcome here was coming either way?
Are you being asked? Because I generally would not assume that trans people would either ask you, as a cishet, or hold unsolicited advice from you on this topic in high regard. I’d suggest just focusing on other issues.
I’m not being asked, but I have some friends and I don’t really know what’s a good way to navigate this situation since I really don’t want to come across like I’m gloating.
All off the most aggressive anti-trans shit happened under Biden’s administration.
But yeah, there’s pretty much no way you can say that without being called an asshole.
Even if you are trans… people stuck believing they should back the blue no matter who don’t like having that narrative contradicted, much less by the people they use as an excuse to back said party. To be fair, its a comforting lie to believe that one of the big formal powers in the country has your interests at heart…
