a username or some post/comment reminds me of some person from my past that I haven’t thought about in years, and I wonder if maybe there is a crossing of paths without even realizing it
seems really unlikely, but then who can really say, we’re just some comrades shitposting and vibing
Pretty sure at least one person in my local org is on here, but we don’t acknowledge it, like Baptists who see each other in the liquor store
You’d know if it was me from all the owl dander and mouse skeletons
legit found a dead mouse in my backyard yesterday
wazzunt meh
Did you know owl pellets are used as edutainment activity at bird watching events? Humans actually are entertained by picking thru owl scat and looking at bones.
Those don’t belong to you!
Having done that unprompted at a cool old church (lotsa Yew trees), I can say that it is pretty entertaining.
Meeting another user IRL would be so cool but also REALLY fucking awkward, if your account contains a lot of intimate details about yourself.
I stick things up my butt
If you are on this website, that is a very safe assumption.
The post-revolution^ biographies would be incredible.

I once saw someone IRL on hexbear at a lefty meetup that I’m not going to dox myself over. I was wondering if I should have said anything but didn’t
in retrospect it would have been a bit weird because i was still an egg back then. also it would have been weird to say hi to another hexbear user IRL like that

they were repping the pigpoopballs merch
I could see their screen from two seats over and knew what hexbear.net looked like
understandable, I was more feeling the mystery of it
nobody break opsec plz!
I saw a guy that looked like David Cross and was wearing this shirt who I felt had a very high chance of being a power poster.
i used to have this t-shirt a long long time ago
Yeah, I still do somewhere
I have one too.
I have a friend that had this shirt a long long time ago…
that’s a great bit of comradely festiveness
I get a bit paranoid that coworkers will find my comments somewhere and realize I’m actually a straight-up dirty commie and not just a vaguely progressive liberal… my workplace has no real labor protections that would help me and I need to stay employed.
I told my boss I was a Marxist once I figured out he was level headed. We talk about surface level politics and while we disagree on a lot, we agree what Luigi did is cool
Letting people see my Hexbear posts though? Oh hell no.
Yea no shot, lol. I’d rather they see my Lemmy.ml comments and posts, which are generally much higher quality and more thought-out, than my Hexbear posting, lol
Same. I feel like I need to start masking as a lib because the fascist rhetoric from co-workers is gonna get me fired. I try not to talk too politically but I have this one co-worker that is a straight up fash, and I’m gonna end up saying something. I just hope it’s liberal-coded enough.
Yep, always gotta keep plausible deniability. I try to gently provide based takes in a way that is easily acceptable when I can, though.
I try to frame it as coming from an apolitical History Guy angle: “Damn that’s crazy man, well good luck with that but you’re probably gonna get owned, I’ll be here chillin.”
I got drunk at the work Xmas party and told a Trump guy that I was a communist (and that I wanted to fuck the HR lady). He was actually kind of cool about it later.
Huh, can’t admit to having done the same yet, haha. Definitely try to tone down my radicalism.
Funny enough, I find the finance-dudebros end up being the most receptive to positive news about the PRC, if you can point to them focusing heavily on industrialization making surpassing financialized economies like the US more of a matter of when, not if.
Yeah I normally keep it cool, but I overshare when I get drunk.
Did you end up hooking up with the HR person?
No I was talking shit. I’m married and it would have ruined my life lol.
That’s for the best then. Haha
I know most of you guys, i get dossiers every so often and sometimes they even let me connect to y’alls webcams
let me know if my sticky tape is getting loose
dowishperceived.
I just assume that some of my irl friends lurk here and that we’ll never discuss it
ya, that’s a nice vibe
or
but mostly
I’ve done a litmus test a few times with my offline commie/anarchist friends and only ran across one person that knew of hexbear. His response was “that’s still a thing?” lol.
Actually I guess he’s still an online friend but he’s a founding member of a neighboring chapter of the org I’m in. So not fully online friend?
If I meet any of you irl, it’s Highlander rules straight up
We will meet August 17th 2027 15:20. Bring an umbrella.
I have a group that meets at midnight on Fridays under the Brooklyn bridge. The password is Sic Semper Tyrannis.
Ive met plenty of people from here over the years and it’s always been nice! Can be awkward, sure, but that just comes with meeting new people i think. I’m not super great at socializing anyways
- I’m willing to meet up with any DC-area comrades
Northern Virginia folx, let’s meet up!
We met at the agency retreat at Martha’s Vineyard last summer, remember?
