“Man rests from one labor by doing another.”
Cute! And I actually started remembering that tune from way back when I was a kid…
'Course, would have been pretty funny if they’d somehow mashed up Tweaky with Bender. Maybe having Dr. Theopolis hanging from his chest in the 2nd shot could have worked.
I’d heard about them before, but prefer to reserve judgement until I see things with my own eyes, or at least directly see how they’re treating others.
Eventually, at my community, I posted a comic examining some of the various self-strife between Israeli folk, and from out of nowhere 3-4 Hexbear users who’d never taken part before materialised and began ranting about Israel and calling me and the community some pretty awful things. After that, I started paying a little more attention to their user comments across the Fediverse. Just… yikes.
Hexbear is run and populated by toxic extremists largely unable to deal with middle ground and a spectrum of opinion, last I checked. I’d consider this a fortuitous omen to block the whole instance and dust your hands off as a job well done.
Out of curiosity, how much time and effort did you spend in building and fine-tuning your feed?
Also, did you make any special effort to get connected to other parts of the FV?
Last I checked Non-Lego Lego is generally pretty garbage
There are dozens of different brands, so I’m sure the quality’s naturally going to vary…

In this case, yeah… there’s still plenty of good design and features to lift from Reddit, and why not? Also, in terms of the FV as whole (i.e., not just Lemmy), I’d love to persuade more of Reddit’s better users to migrate, especially the more they realise that they’re not much more than a “$” sign to spez and the investors, anyway.
Pretty crazy how we saw such naked greed and contempt from them back in Summer '23, and yet the bias of recency (or whatever it has) has largely normalised it out of existence for both the Reddit and the FV side. Like… bloody hell, mate…
