Forcing me to remember my login credentials every time we take the site down as a joke is not okay either.
I take my one-account Ironman run seriously
-
I lost mine a few resets ago
it was only three months younger than the site.On the bright side I think I'd gotten a few grudges due to my prolific posting. Definitely felt like I've been received much more positively ever since I got this account.

What's the go to place to meetup if the site ever gets taken down? Realized I had no where to turn

Lemmygrad.ml is where I usually go, not sure if there's another source of news
-
Yeah I made an account there this morning was funny seeing a bunch of hexbear alts in the juche thread and a pinned post about hexbear downtime.

We’re meeting in the 6th floor breakroom (at Langley, of course)
-
-
My whole morning routine was altered. I demand satisfaction, in the form of trials for the site wreckers!

reject 9 9's, embrace unreliability

I don't know how I feel about this joke. If the person who originally posted it in the /r/cth days was posting in earnest, then picking on them isn't great. I'm sure there are more than a few people who feel that this is their only outlet or source of left wing voices. It just seems weird to kick one of our own for something that isn't chuddy
Not trying to start anything, but I've never seen this brought up.

I think even at the time the consensus was that the poster was right, and closing the sub was a shitty joke that took away an outlet a lot of people relied on. But now the sub is long gone, the people who ran the sub are long gone, and we're on like ten degrees of ship of theseus shit by now and calling out "closing the site as a joke wasn't ok" every time there's scheduled or unscheduled downtime for whatever reason is divorced from its original intent and is now just a meme form of complaining about downtime. I feel like people say it because it's the rote thing you say after downtime, like cursing someone's ancestors when they sneeze.
-
Fair. I'm not really trying to advocate for this joke to be banned or whatever.
I just hope that we won't do it to someone else again.
And yes, I think that joke was unfunny. Not just because it hurt someone's feelings. It was just some reddit brained "hehe the sex and weed number" and "let's flex our mod muscles for no good reason".
-
How do you feel about
and ?like cursing someone's ancestors when they sneeze.
Wait what?
-

Yea, I agree with you. I haven't seen the reddit post, but this is legitimately my only left/trans support and is incredibly important to me. So I understand why someone would think removing that support, that they or others might rely on isn't funny. But
I don't expect joking about it is going to change, and I'm not trying to be the fun police.-
That's what I was trying to convey. I'm not trying to police people, but there are real users behind these screens, and we don't know their lives. They could be in an abusive situation, homeless without a safety net, or just plain lonely.

Posting about shutting the site down for a joke for a joke is not okay
-
Commenting about posting about shutting down the site is not not ok. I was not happy with my grass touching experience. Mostly because it was mowing my overgrown back yard.
-
-
I agree, especially since it's certainly not like it's a bit that's really funny enough to be doing over and over again for the last like half a decade oe whatever
-
With how short of an attention span "the internet" has, it's weird what things have staying power. It's rarely ever the good stuff in my opinion

I just posted a lament on grad, the lathe works!
-
We're so back
-
the arms on @Lumalo@hexbear.net's l's broke off when he joined and they were rattling around in the servers for a few days until they got stuck in the deliberalator and the whole site crashed, the admins had to crawl in and get them out
-
But it was funny

Will never get tired of this post
What was the origin of the joke? I swear I was there for it, I just can't remember why they did it
On the old Chapo subreddit, the sub was made private for like a day or something as a bit. A very angry person made a lengthy text post that was titled something like "Closing the Sub as a Bit Was NOT Ok"
Closing the subreddit at 69,420 subscribers as a joke was not ok
the original subreddit went private at 69420 or 42069 members iirc
