If your on .world there are a ton of hexbear comments in this thread you aren’t seeing. You are only seeing half the conversation going on in here right now.

Starship troopers has a line in it that the crusades were created by population pressure (primarily young men being denied a good chance at a future).

Blahj had the same issue a few days ago and had to literally make a second thread that hexbear admins barred their users from so that they could have an internal discussion. Despite how upset that instance was hexbears just can not help but invade this discussion too.

Thanks, I’ll definitely look into it!

Thanks, I appreciate the tip. Lemmy’s tech barrier is a bit of a stretch for me but most people here have been really helpful!

Since lemm.ee seems insistent on staying federated with Hexbear, can anyone recommend a working instance (.world keeps crashing on me) that’s defederated them?

I’m not tech savvy enough to know how to check whose defederated them and personally I find that their low-effort high-spam trolling in every thread they see to be off putting enough that I’ve been going back to Reddit because it feels less toxic. I liked the culture at Lemmy before Hexbear showed up and if possible I’d like to get that back. Thanks in advance!

There are also a lot of kits that include most of what you’ll need (especially for cross stitch). It can be a really convenient way to start and most kits come with really good instructions on how to cross stitch too.

Is that on purpose or is the thing so badly made that it’s blinking like that?

I can’t figure out where all the lemmy people posting about reddits “power tripping power mods” were posting. I think I ran across one mod in the wild (niche sub) that I thought was crazy and they got run off the platform eventually. What were people posting that they were getting banned all over the place? Maybe the mods weren’t the problem if multiple were banning you?

If Fast and Furious has a 29% score then RT isn’t a good indicator of movies. They don’t keep making those movies because they arent popular. That whole franchise is basically printing money.

PA can be fairly cold expect snow and ice every year. It does snow in Virginia as well but I can tell you it’s on average atleast 10 degrees warmer in VA vs PA year round. (Lived in both areas). Virginia is wetter (and far more humid than CA) and has more hills since Appalachia cuts right through a lot of the western part of the state. If you don’t like the outdoors I’d suggest eastern Virginia. If you like the outdoors western Virginia is great for outdoor activity (hit or miss on things like high speed internet, research any specific towns your interested in out there.) One thing I will say is that Virginia is NOT blue. But then Scranton is probably considered the beginnings of Pennsyltucky too.

It think they’re mad because some of them already paid for a year and the awards and gold were part of why they got premium. Now awards and fold are disappearing mid-september and they feel they aren’t getting what they paid for anymore.

So some Asian cultures do eat jellyfish. Maybe this is a gotcha question or maybe it’s just someone coming from a less eurocentric background.
