The Libs of Lemmy love to complain about how Hexbear is both strong and weak, dying and yet still one of the top instances by post count. You know they look at Hexbear and are angry with our power but are powerless to stop it.

So it would be a funny bit to massively inflate our post count.

Okay don't go spam every thread that's probably not appropriate but instead post at least twice in this one and let's pump those posting numbers up.

If you need some ideas for things to post, try:

  • Your favorite emoji
  • A funny thing you saw this week
  • A word you like
  • A cool animal fact
  • Or something else

This reads like the Bit Idea Megathread.

Anyway that's the bit

It's a strange notion that double posting is considered poor form in the first place. What if I have two unrelated things to say? Doesn't it make more sense to split those ideas into two posts?

Honestly who would care if I replied to a post 11 times with 11 different unrelated ideas?
Parallel, asyncronous communication is a thing to be embraced, and I would go so far as to say that we should just have massive mega posts years old and thousands of comments long about common topics instead of starting new ones whenever we have something new to add.

It's a holdover from a time when it was poor form to bump things to the top in a forum.

Dumbass rules and etiquette is probably a good portion of why forums died actually. I think the most obvious example of this was telling people to "search" instead of just answering the question.

A funny thing you saw this week

my friend sent me a large collection of funny garfield memes because he knows i like garfield

ok im bored now, of answering these, no more posting for me, im gonna go rest in bed or something and be an eepy weepy little thing

saying "rockstackers veganism amber Silver legion BasedBall volcel police PMC DSA KKKaren indoor cats whataboutism Parenti quote smuglord" is basically just the hexbear version of "skibbidi ohio W rizz sigma gyatt gyatt white boy goated with the sauce among us fanum tax"

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

I've already been doing this for years.

[–] ElectronNumberSeven@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

When I want to add sometime I just reply to myself instead of editing the posting.

Pretty based if I'm honest

sir, this is a whataboutism, and amber would be angry

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Letting the bots do the work for you still counts

At the gym yesterday on the treddi boi, rows of local and national News TVs. Every time I see that shit I draw closer to the conclusion that all news should be banned and we should only function on rumors, myths, and oral traditions. Also, everyone in the industry gets composted so they can contribute something positive to society.

no sectarianism, but we can talk about outdoor cats

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wait, the libs say Hexbear is dying? Where?

Same as it's always been isn't it? Why would they think it's dying when it persisted for THREE YEARS before they even appeared?

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

In like every lib instance defed thread they cry about how they have to defed us but it's fine because we're a nothing meaningless dying instance anyway.

Which is kinda good honestly, if they forget about us they'll leave us alone and we can keep quietly poaching all their good members sicko-hexbear
