ESR went like this after 9/11

bayesian epistemology for sure

they actually came up with something more fucked up than stack ranking

i see no evidence they don’t realise just fine

“There was a post, [pause], I forget who wrote it” <- the kind of thing I have said several times attempting to avoid leaking rationalist-evidence-bits.

gotta keep that power level under wraps

Keep in mind that, for theologically conservative (“the Bible is historically and spiritually accurate”) Christians like myself,

rationalists whoo

“brutal mog, sir”

i think she was clearly the winner there too

Nostr also has the excellent cost-control mechanism of first requiring users to set up a cryptographic key pair - you can smell the freedom from here! - and second of being full of coiner spam. This keeps server usage to a minimum in practice,

you only didn’t score a shitty poster ban because of past decent commenting, please improve

fwiw I quite like the present UI, I set it to light, works well for me on desktop (I never use this site on my phone)

yeah this is how @self posts when he likes things

oh yeah, we’re not saying it’s normal for hexbear, and I see they recently set new registrations to moderated. Tho it is a concern the hexbear admins don’t seem to have cared about them. But also the hexbears’ behaviour on that sh.itjust.works thread, goodness me.

I’d suggest another account here.

it was a hexbear poster posting to groups here. They didn’t post that sort of thing to hexbear groups. We banned the poster from here and deleted the local copies of the posts, so you’d have to go digging. You can feel free not to believe it, I’m certainly not spending time going digging.

that’s nice, we certainly got them here including recently

like, how is this supposed to be a useful post

• What is Hexbear? It’s where r/chapotraphouse went when Reddit banned them
• Why did we care? Lately they’ve been sending us race scientists and totally-not-crypto-bros. Surprising for an avowedly lefty instance, but the rest are no less annoying.
• Hexbear has more than a few tankies. But mostly they’re just exhausting.
• Expand a few threads on this post for more historical drama, and to see what hexbears act like on other servers.

if anyone tries to make you maintain a patch set, be sure to call it Awful
