Uncritical support to lemmygrad's struggle against the liberal hegemony of the broader fediverse
We're honored to join the fight comrades!
- Thanks, comrade. We’re glad to have you!
- Thanks comrade!!

the gang is finally federated

Hello Lemmygrad!

Almost forgot.
Found in the $2 bargain bin section yesterday:

Upbear is on the left.

@MF_COOM@hexbear.net
- Only sad thing is us federated users have standard upvotes/downvotes instead of upbear :(
- Only logical next step is to change your name to Carol

- We really have to steal this one.
  
  don't you dare, we hardly have any unique ones. At least leave us this one
  it's my favorite
  
  You can always steal an emote from another instance without it being on yours by copying the source of the other instance user’s post.
  For example:
  undefined
  
  ![zoidberge salute 2](https://lemmygrad.ml/pictrs/image/495d5a80-a36d-4663-b10d-4f1983917b38.png "zoidberg-salute2")
- lemmygrad has emotes too?
  
  Yeah, we introduced them last month.
  We even created an !emoji@lemmygrad.ml so we can start suggesting more like on Hexbear

HAVE YOU ALL SEEN THE DENGUIN?
- Check out this dope ass denguin
  
  I can vouch for its dopeness
- Now we have :)

Thanks, I hope you all enjoy pictures of owls and pointless but vitriolic struggle sessions.
- I’m sure @Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net was inevitable anyways.
  Just don’t be revisionist or you’ll summon the ghost of Wisconcom
  
  HELLO NEW BEST FRIEND LET ME SHOW YOU MY OWLS
  
  I'm sorry, as a Midwesterner I need to know the story of Wisconcom.

The Fifth International is finally here!!

Now that we're all together I have a question to ask:
Are any of you getting cash from the CPC or Russia?
See, during the whole preemptive defederation thing they kept saying that Hexbear is a Chinese/Russian bot farm and that it's probably the same in Lemmygrad. I don't align ideologically with either of those countries but I won't turn down free cash.
Is there, like, a form to fill out?
- We are soros backed not sure where your money is maybe they are doing tax rebates this year
- No form other than your Lemmygrad application. You just become one.
  
  Xi is intelligent, he got that I'm an honorary grader.
  BTW payments come the 10th if you're on lemmy.ml
- If you check your account page you should have a section to fill out your info + your shill-o-metre.
  You need to level up the shill-o-metre in order to get a pay rise.
  you get your pay roughly on 10th-12th every month.
- Are any of you getting cash from the CPC or Russia?
  We wish
- sis, if I could get paid for publicly urinating on the very concept of Amerika, I'd have been getting it for the last five years now
- So, payments used to come in Russian ruble, but after the mother-of-all sanctions worked, payment finally switched to the renminbi. I was finally able to afford that second mansion I had always wanted to own, but never live in. Thank you, Bank of China!

Welcome to the lemmyverse comrades

This federation shit kinda intimidating, but hello lemmygrad friends and comrades
- We’re happy to have you too!

This must be what going outside feels like

I'm sorry that Lemmy world already blocked you ☹️
- Getting preemptively defederated by the instance that even tried federating with an instance for pedophiles and nazis because we don't support NATO is nearly as funny as Reddit quarantining/banning us for calling for violence against confederate slave owners.
- You kidding? We got tons of bits from that. And at least 2 chapos from
  found their way home because of it.
  Standard hexbear dub.

I've been mindlessly clicking on threads and responding to people as though it's hexbear. Whoops
- Seems like your replies were all fine. Just watch out so you don’t wind up posting PPB on the wrong instance ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
  We’d understand but some instances would be quite confused

hex bearers? bearers of the curse? chapos?
- All of the above. I’m being told that the curse may or may not be PPB.
  
  no no, that's the cure. you must eat the dung off a pig's balls to be cured of the curse.

Fuck, put us back.
- At least the Lemmy.world defederation will stop a lot of the libs from seeing your stuff
  Welcome, comrade!
  
  Would dot world users browsing lemmygrad with their accounts be able to see our comments in this thread?
- No. :)

- what the fuck is even the purpose of this eldritch horror
  
  The emoji is called :body-without-sex-organs:. It is a troll doll with the Kabbalah Sefirot superimposed over top of it.
  The phrase “body without organs” is a phrase used by Deleuze and Guattari to describe how the organization of systems imposes restrictions on them. Our freedom is at its highest when our organs are working properly, but their continued operation requires them to signal our attention in ways that limits our actions and sometimes induces automatic responses. So the focus on sex organs implies a focus on the restrictions which sex organs impose on us.
  The Sefirot is an outline of how the divine infinite reveals itself and creates the many realms, both physical and spiritual. Imposing it over a body draws the connection between our material existence and our spiritual essence.
  And troll dolls are children’s’ toys.
  So the connection between the body and spirit of this kids’ toy is restricted by its sex organs? I think I may have accidentally made this emoji trans.
  In reality, someone probably put a spiritual looking symbol over a kids’ toy and deep fried it a little bit as a gag. Then someone with a passing familiarity with Deleuze free associated the name to make it more surreal. I dunno, it’s just my favorite. For what it’s worth, statistically, the person who names that emoji was trans, so

Lemmygrad was the first Lemmy instance I followed, though I was a lurker for about a year before discovering
. Lemmygrad will always hold a special place in my heart
- Welcome, comrade, we’re together again!

Wait ...did we just federated?
- indeed
- Yep, you’re on Lemmygrad. Welcome!

Thanks comrades! This is so nice to be together. I want to socialist fraternal kiss everyone (who would be comfortable getting a socialist fraternal kiss).

Is there an easy way to sub every lemmygrad comm from my hexbear account?
- I'd like to know as well for Hexbear. I subbed to chapo so far but donno what else to sub too rofl.
  
  I'm a fan of politics, labour, urbanism and Indigenous, not sure how to link them yet
  
  I'd look through the list and see which ones line up with your interests / are active. I think most people here just sort by all comms, though.
  
  !politics@hexbear.net
  !labour@hexbear.net
  !urbanism@hexbear.net
  !indigenous@hexbear.net
- We have too many communities to make that practical, but you can look at Lemmygrad’s community list to help you out: https://lemmygrad.ml/communities.
- I think you can just set the post listings to All, as an easier way to accomplish this

Thanks for the welcome, hello Lemmygrad <3
Lemmygrad
- You're welcome comrades

Hello Lemmygradians, be sure to check out our dope news thread
- Federated community link is !news@hexbear.net
  
  Such knowledge

happy to be here

Welcome!
- We hope you feel at home here. Anything we can do to make it less jarring?

Atomization--

hiiiiiiiiii

With our posting powers combined, we will... idk post harder I guess

Oh man, now nobody has to know that I forgot my lemmy password
- Hurry, delete your comment before they find out! /s
- You forgot your password? No problem, here it is: Mb2.r5oHf-0t

me seeing my new delicious slop
- It's sugar!

Velkommen til Lemmygrad!
- Takk, kamerat!
  
  Det var så lidt

- (didn't mean for this to be a reply but w/e)

They bear the hex of being right all the time

This is exciting love all of the new users posting here, I will have to try browsing hexbear now too !

Now I need to find where to donate the Lemmygrad account I created before we were federated
- Sell it as an NFT to some cryptobro than promptly report him to get him banned

Hewwo

We're really nice, I promise. Despite the reputation we have for being the dirtbag left. Which we also are. But we're the nice dirtbag left.
Just uh...don't click any links from us.
- My take is Lemmy.world defederated from y’all because you would absolutely destroy all the libs making death threats there (see our dunk tank, !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml, for context).
  At least we’ll see it :)
  
  Libs can't handle us at our best, they don't deserve us at our worst
