Hexday 2024, Happy 4th year anniversary nerds!!! - New General Megathread for the 24th-26th of July 2024
On this day, 4 years ago the site was first launched (then a day later the first post made), Formed from chapotraphouse remnants, the old admins decided to make a site using Lemmy as its base. Originally called chapo.chat, Hexbear has grown into one of the biggest instances in the lemmyverse.
Despite various sitewide struggle sessions, wrecker incursions from other forums and federation drama, Hexbear has keep growing strong in its 4th year, now with 4 megathreads, over 4 million comments, 300k posts and much more.
Its being great running the general megathread for a bit over 3 years, since i took over i have tried to get it mostly in time and just one unlike during the old times, i like to think i have done a decent job, plus i have also added a bit of reading material to them so you nerds can learn from them and i like to think you have been reading them , its also nice to see the new megathreads how they have slowing grown up to the size to the old general mega in the time of the old admins.
dont have much else to say so have a good day nerd. also
Whats has been your favorite post/event from last year (july 2023-july 2024)?

just got a 25% raise at work unexpectedly! Apparently it's what I should have been earning this whole time, as our union forced the employer to do an equal pay analysis and I was being paid 25% less than I should have for my experience and education. First time in my life I can remember feeling the financial burden ease instead of tighten
Canada, we do whatever America does 6 years later. My mom was a bookkeeper for like 45 years and does my taxes for me cause she knows em well and had the business version of turbo tax from her former work computer, if I could be getting a better deal I would be, she's really good at paperwork.
