Sorry (🍁) we did this without making a post, but after receiving several complaints we defederated from hexbear.net yesterday.

Here’s a few quick examples of poor conduct by hexbear users:

They warned their users to behave themselves, but that didn’t work: https://hexbear.net/post/280770?scrollToComments=false

            Yes. I’ll be there in the middle of September.

            A few hundred homeless people do not a revolution make (or a few thousand, or a few tens of thousands.) You can fantasize about it by the reality is that you end up dead or in prison if you try.

            We need change, that is an absolute truth, but we are a long, long way from revolution.

              Ok well just wait till you see how aggressive and violent homeless people have become haha. It’s not friendly begging anymore and I don’t blame them

              Agree that it’s fantasy though. Canada is spineless

                  Yeah you sound wealthy so you will likely just avoid those areas entirely

                I don’t blame them either. However this problem exists in a country where homeownership sits over 60%. Many, many of them not in any proximity to homelessness. It’ll require a lot more people on the bandwagon to get a significant change happen.

                You know what’s funny? I mentioned going down to Save On Meats to get a sandwich and you didn’t even know that it had closed permanently during the pandemic. You were telling stories like you were from there and you were lying. You’ve probably never even been there. I have. I’ve walked those streets. My cousin works those streets. You’re afraid of outrageous stories you’ve read online, probably in the extreme right wing echo chamber. How utterly fucking pathetic

                  You said Save On which I thought you meant save on foods

                  Holy hell why are you so angry

                  Your reply is so weird. Even if I understood you meant the diner I wouldn’t have known it closed anyway because I can’t afford to eat at restaurants in the first place

        Are we betting or what? I offered you the bet. Are you actually going to take me up on the offer or were you simply talking out your ass? I’ve got $10 that says it was the latter.

        Ok…what’s the timeframe? 1 year? Complete revolution, right? Violent overthrow of the government, not just a lone wolf or another street shitting inflatable hot tub tantrum doesn’t count? $100. I’ll provide the details for an online escrow service.
