how is Lemmy going for you?

Now that a lot of the commotion has subsided I'm just curious to know how y'all are finding the Lemmy experience in general and whether you use it regularly like you did reddit?

This might be why. I hate that I’ve seen this stuff before.

That's gross (thank you for sharing the link, I haven't heard of that one) but it is 100% not what hexbears mean as they refer to their own forum posts as "slop". They just mean low effort "content" in the more generic English slang sense.

Yes you’re right (though I am not familiar with hexbear). The chan slang was just derived from the standard slang and once you learn about them it can taint your interpretation of it because dogwhistles can sometimes be subtle.
