Sheesh, there sure are a lot of hexbear users here piling onto anybody with a different opinion

Edit: I went ahead and queried the lemmy database from a federated instance I have access to.

These are the top 3 instances commenting in this specific post at the time of writing (2023-08-25 08:02 UTC):

You're reading that right, hexbear has a whopping FIVE comments in this community that are not part of this post.

For the curious, those 5 comments at the time of writing are:

One of which is especially hilarious as we see a hexbear user that's been railing on people in this post using the very term they're condemning here. Strong convictions? Perhaps bandwagoning the hexbear teet? Who knows. Definitely not suspicious 🙄

I accept your surrender. Better luck with the virtue signaling next time. Try to stop being racist đź‘Ť

I recently found out Nova was purchased by an analytics company. I don't have any proof or solid reason to think they're up to no good necessarily. But I have zero desire to use something as integral as a launcher that's owned by a company like that.

I moved to Neo Launcher and it's been 95% as good as Nova. The knock is just some fine tunings that Nova had, but I'm not having any issues with Neo.

You're delusional. My only exposure to hexbear prior to this post was communities on large instances wanting to defederate you. This whole post makes it abundantly clear why that's the case. You're all very clearly a group of losers that banded together for some type of us vs the world bullshit, you even tried to pass off hexbears vs the world as my idea when it's actually yours. It's pathetic.

You can’t engage with us on the and now you’re resorting to meaningless personal jabs

On the what now? Do you just rage type and submit without making sure your words form coherent thoughts? Try again junior. It's not a personal jab to point out you outed yourself as a racist by your own definition. Almost every comment you lot have made to me has been dodging my original point that there are a lot of you piling on and then attacking me. I guess hypocrisy is lost in your small world eh?

As an aside, do hexbears have an infantilzation fetish? The amount of your users randomly bringing in baby shit is really odd. Oh, what's that? You all lean on tactic that was pivotal to maintaining slavery? But go ahead and tell me again how you're not racist anymore. In case a hexbear mod removes the link, I linked to the wikipedia page on infantilization.

To get this straightened up, you've outed yourself as a racist both by using a term you now claim is racist that you had no idea how it would be used outside of a racist context and your whole lot use the same tactics with people you disagree with that were used to prolong slavery. Got it.

Lmao, it's cute one of your comrades remove the image on your instance.

I didn't say people can't change. But 8 days ago you used the term "outside of its history in the car industry/communities" and now you claim you have no idea what it's supposed to be? Give me a break lol. Are you outing yourself as a racist from 8 days ago? Wow quick reform.

This post doesn't change anything. It's just a bunch of hexbear snowflakes whining that a community has enough brain cells to know context matters.

How exactly is your use of a term you deemed racist not relevant in a post where you and your comrades are going around calling people racist for using a term they don't deem racist? Are you actually serious right now? You can't see the relevance? Take your blinders off.

At any rate, I didn't dig up the comment on purpose. I was seeing how much hexbear engages with lemmy.ml/c/unixporn and wouldn't you know it out of the 210 comments your instance had only 5 of them were not in this post. Not surprising since you only had 22 users subscribed here. Your comment was one of the 5 and I went to see if there was any consistency, expecting to see hexbear users call it out as racist if it came up as you all clearly think it is now. To my lack of surprise I saw the opposite, 80% not having anything to do with the term and your humdinger exposing yourself.

You've underminded your entire argument and exposed your bad faith tactics in one fell swoop. You should probably stay in your safe space instead of trying to find things you think are you dunking on people.

Mint chip 100%

Cool. Your instance had like 22 users subscribed to lemmy.ml/c/unixporn. Stop pretending you all lurk this community and finally decided to comment all at the same time.

Another vote for downgrading. I also started trying out "Connect for Lemmy" and it's been pretty slick.

Instance has comparatively high and active userbase with a very high percentage of Linux users

That may be true, but your instance doesn't have a very high percentage of engagement in this community outside of this post. Copying from an older comment of mine:

You're reading that right, hexbear has a whopping FIVE comments in this community that are not part of this post.

One of those 5 is a user participating in the hexbear brigade in this thread that commented previously said rices were inspiring. But go ahead and tell me all those users are pillars of the linux community. Which bad faith argument will you use next?

Inb4 bRIgaDIng HAs To be ORGaniZed And we're NoT; even though an acceptable use of the term is also when a particular group floods another community's space that they don't normally participate in. I know you lot have trouble grasping a term can have multiple definitions, so don't hurt yourself champ.

I have no idea what “rice” is supposed to evoke outside of its history in the car industry/communities.

Whoops, your virtue signal is showing.

whoops

Don't go deleting it now.

Yep, I would have happily paid for the ability to keep using Sync, just like I happily paid for Sync Ultra. I'm probably not in the majority though

I really enjoyed my short time with Infinity. I was just seeing what else is out there and that one checked almost all of my boxes. I couldn't get over the bright ass green they used when a comment was fully collapsed though. Still a fantastic app and I hope that dev continues to succeed.

It feels kind of silly but I'm also looking forward to buying it again.

Yeah I'll accept your surrender as well. Back to your little safe space now, skip to it.

I've been trying to find this out as well. I haven't found anything that even claims they've shown Reddit any legitimate data. Seems like a "trust me bro, we have what we say we have" situation

You're thinking of lemmygrad, but the rest is right

Also possible, yeah.

fsociety00.dat

I have a base Debian template with a few tweaks I like for all my machines. Debating setting up something like terraform but I just don't spin up VMs frequently enough to wan tto do that. I do have a few Ansible playbooks I run on a fresh server to really get it to where I want though.

What? Pointing out that you fools are piling onto people in this post isn't crying? Pointing out that you fools aren't active participants in this community isn't crying?

You're butthurt that I said you're not part of this community and when confronted with evidence that backs it up you .. checks notes .. reacted like a petulant child.

Again, probably best to stick to your safe space echo chamber.

Take the L and go home. Or maybe form an actual response if you're capable. I'm not sure you are

What? You know hexbear isn't lemmy.ml... right?? Your instance has 22 users subscribed to lemmy.ml/c/unixporn. You'll notice I didn't say you're not part of whatever .ml community you're talking about (although hilarious if you're actually Mali gov.) I'm saying your instance is not an active participant in this unixporn community outside of this post. Also probably pretty safe to bet you're not actually part of whatever ml community you're imagining.

Another not so clever shift by you fools to unsuccessfully change what I've said.

We were here before you and we will be here after you’re purged with the rest of the libs.

Are you the reason your comrades keep questioning knowledge on federation? Your instance didn't federate until earlier this month. It's literally impossible for your collective "we" to have been here before anyone with an account older than that, of which there are plenty.

To spell it out for you. You don't know what you're talking about. Your instance as a whole does not engage with lemmy.ml/c/unixporn outside of this post. Be more mad though, it's fun dismantling you all one by one. Maybe just stick to your safe space echo chamber đź‘Ť

Here, let me help you. My first comment in this post, please show me where I said there's brigading going on. I didn't. And the fact that you read my edit and equated that to me saying there's brigading going on is extremely telling. Again, your comrades brought up brigading, not me.

You want to talk about brazen dishonesty? Look at the rest of you and yours and how you constantly rephrase what's been said to benefit your own narrative. Disgusting is right. I got piled onto from that very first comment before the edit lol, how revisionist of you to pretend things that came up later in the thread were what caused the thread to happen. And to be clear, no part of what I've said is "hexbears are being mean" or crying about it. That's the straw man each of you have been constructing to try and skirt your own racist tendencies.

It's interesting that you're equating a word that doesn't refer to a group of people outside of a racist context (rice) with one that explicitly refers to an ethnoreligious group. Do you see how hard you people are working to make the term racist? The argument centers around semantic change and how hexbears are leading the charge to try to proliferate the usage of the term as racist. The concept isn't altered? Please tell me which group is belittled when utilizing it in the unixporn context.

term for improving the look of a car without improving its performance

You'll also notice even your own definition independently lacks any racial charge or pejorative meaning whatsoever without you adding it yourself. It's almost as if context matters.

Same thing here. It's also bled over to Mastodon for me and it's been quite an enjoyable experience.

Thanks for the .atom tip. I've been messing with Diun to try and keep up on updates but I run so many different things it ends up being useless by the time I get around to wanting to actually do the updates. I'll add the ones I super care about to Miniflux though and see if that's more doable for me

What is your resource utilization like? I know larger instances obv have their own quirks but one of my unknowns is what specs for the server.

I'm also curious about disk space. I've seen people self hosting say their usage grows about 500M per day (but no mention on the amount of communities they actively federate) which would fill up my Hetzner box in about a few months. Having never adminned Lemmy, is there some sort of content deletion job that removes stuff after X amount of days?

Lastly, from what I understand the federated tab only shows stuff from instances (or is it down to the community level?) where at least 1 user in your home instance is subscribed. Did you just have to go out and browse communities you're interested in and follow them yourself? Or maybe with an alt account?

I saw something that a fix was in the works, but also that it seems to only affect chrome based browsers. I set it as a PWA from Firefox and have never had the orientation change on me unexpectedly

+1 for Liftoff. I've got 4 apps and wefwef pwa going and I keep finding myself going to Liftoff more and more frequently.

Yeah nothing is quite perfect yet, and I'm figuring out my priority features as I keep going. The future is bright though.

You lot really are top tier shitters aren't you. Just grasping at concepts and twisting words to fit your little victim complex. Please show me where I equated communism to maga. That was all you babycakes.

11 more...

Dealing with you is tiring just like every maga idiot ever parroting the same bullshit and never actually addressing a point. You sure you didn't go so far left you ended up in rightville? You may have dropped your red hat.

I'm going to take your refusal to address anything other than your weird sticking point of calling me a baby as you have no legs to stand on with regard to the actual substance of this thread.

Keep holding that L homie.

Missing: any reference to communism.

Usernames are irrelevant. Do you think I'm the middle of the night? Is your name Brett and you like macadamia nuts? McDonalds? Or are you taking maga and wanting to make america communist again? Are you a fan of the macabre and tt is your initials? You're inserting your own prejudices to do a lot of heavy lifting here.

If you want to equate maga and communism go for it. But I didn't and no amount of your mental gymnastics will change that.

I don't have an opinion on their compatibility, I don't belong to either group and don't have any interest in either. What I do know is both of you use the same tactics when trying to argue a point. The way you try to reframe things to insert your conclusion as fact and then act like that's the end of it is the same shit Ben Shapiro does to OwN thE LiBs. I can also say without a doubt that both groups are equally insufferable

oh shit I forgot liberals babies communists don’t have reading comprehension skills, even for things they wrote

You wouldn't see the reframing because your reading comprehension is ass. People hurling insults instead of addressing a point is classic maga, but go on, show me how you don't argue a point the same while using the same tired tactics.

If that were true you would have stopped after you did it. But you didn't, because that wasn't your only purpose, but go on keep deluding yourself.

I don't know if you know this, but nobody cares if you call them a baby. But by all means keep doing it so you can show your friends how you totally owned someone online by calling them a baby 🤣

The shift change comment was to a hexbear user, as the screenshot shows. For what it's worth I had to go to the hexbear instance to see the full thread, your reply was coming up with no way for me to view context so I wasn't sure if I actually fucked up or what happened. We can blame Lemmy growing pains I suppose.

I'm also just a Linux guy getting by. But I reject the notion that a term considered racist in one context continues to be so outside of that context, terms that only exist in a racist context (n word) not withstanding. All of the times I've seen rice used to describe a person's DE changes has always been a point of pride and not pejorative. This one's ripe to defang and the people interested in perpetuating it as racist are largely hexbear users and some stragglers that align with them on this point.

That said I don't care if the term changes or not, but the apparent brigading and piling on centered around hexbear users masquerading as "omg we're just so popular" is laughable.

Right, I forgot you fools lack reading comprehension skills and the ability to recognize nuance.

I didn't say there was brigading going on, your comrade brought that up. I simply said just because some users were arriving organically doesn't mean brigading is out of the question. The original point, which continues to be evident, is that there are a ton of hexbear users piling on to anyone that doesn't fall in line with OP. You all seem to conveniently ignore that and straw man into bringing up brigading and hurling insults. You prove my point every time a new one engages. Every. Time.

The only remotely racist users I've seen here are, unsurprisingly, hexbear users. You're the main ones attempting to nurture a term in a different context to try to get a completely different community to use your preferred racist definition. If you truly were anti-racist I would have expected celebration of the death of a racist term in the car community by way of the unixporn community using it with pride to show off their DEs.

Instead you cling for dear life onto your racist definition like conservatives do to the fucking electoral college and FPTP. It's really telling.

I'm not sure if anyone is exposing an API for this. I'm pulling it directly from the database on an instance I have access to. At first I was worried it wasn't accurate for hexbear because it's a much older instance, but they didn't start federating until very recently so it's close enough.

Nah try again. Based on how few of you sub here I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't know how to use a terminal and thought all command line stuff makes people hackerman.
