Two years ago, we received information about the planned federation by Hexbear. The announcement thread can be found here: https://www.chapo.chat/PPB. After reviewing the thread and the comments, it became evident that allowing Hexbear to federate would violate our rules.

Our code of conduct and server rules can be found here.

The announcement included several revisionist statements, as highlighted below:

“pee pee poo poo"

The rhetoric and goal of Hexbar are clear based on their announcement: to “piss” and "shidd” shows that Hexbar has no intention of "farding.” It’s mainly to push their pigs with clean balls.

In addition, several comments from a Hexbear admin, demonstrate that Chapo.chat rules will not be respected.

Here are some examples:

“I can assure you there will be no pissing and shidding.”

“All loyal, honest, active and upright Liberals must collect all 11 liberal tendencies shown by certain people among us, and summon the forbidden 12th form of liberalism.”

To clarify, for those who have inquired about why Hexbear versus Reddit, it should be noted that we are currently exploring the possibility of defederating from Reddit as well based on similar comments Hexbear has made.

Defederation should only be considered as a last resort. However, based on their comments and behavior, only liberalism can be expected.

I made the decision to preemptively defederate from Hexbear for these reasons. While I understand that not everyone may agree with my decision, as site admin of Chapo.Chat I believe it is important to unilaterally make decisions for everyone.--

My leftist reading group at uni is reading Imperialism in the 21st Century by John Smith. Is my diagram that i quickly drew up a good supplement for it? Also I know in other spaces shit flinging occurs about value created through labor in the west being "more productive," so more value is created than "unproductive third world labor" vs the inverse of that position; the length of the values in the diagram is arbitrary and constrained for space reasons, not because i think one way or another; but feel free to argue ig. I mean, has anyone read the polemics of Harvey and Smith? They are sassy as fuck and hilarious. Disappointing though to see Harvey to take such a vague and stance on modern imperialism, as well as the dissavowment of China by Smith because of alleged "Stalinism" (lol). I'll link the first video and four polemics they directed at eachother: "Imperialism: Is it still a relevant concept?"-Harvey "A critique of David Harveys analysis of imperialism"-Smith "David Harvey denies imperialism"-Smith "Realities on the Ground: David Harvey replies to John Smith"-Harvey "Imperialist Realities vs. the Myths of David Harvey"- Smith

Also in the leftist reading club we're using these as additional sources:

https://monthlyreview.org/2019/03/01/global-commodity-chains-and-the-new-imperialism/ https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-49687-y https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S095937802200005X?via=ihub

Secondly, and more broadly, is the view of stock market bubbles forming due to speculation and the discontinuity between stock price and actual value an accurate assessment? Because of massive price gauging and speculation for textiles, garments, tech, housing, coffee, etc it seems to me like a large portion of many western economies or at least the US economy is sitting on a large bubble across almost all industries, and i've heard talks of an oncoming economic disaster from people of all flavors. Could mass tariffs and import restrictions on the global commodity chain bring about the popping of these bubbles?

My last tabulation was 2 years ago (it will be 3 in April).

Our #1 poster (or commentator at least) is still @SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net! He went from 36,515 Comments to 45,600! That's almost 5,000 a year so about 14 a day on average. congratulations

@emizeko@hexbear.net has held onto their #2 position despite the years. They went from 31,664 comments to 39,400. SorosFootSoldier's lead is rapidly diminishing and emizeko may overtake him by the next count!! second-plane

@Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net has put in a lot of work the past two years and has risen from #4 overall with 24,311 comments to a piss-soaked #3 with 37,900! Badposting and its consequences?! beanis Their rise may also be attributed to the loss of the previous #3 holder, UlyssesT who had 30,587 comments at last tabulation and likely had more before they deleted their account.

Honorary mention goes out to @Bunhead@hexbear.net with -6 comments, I dunno how you even get that to happen!!

Posting actual posts were not counted towards this tabulation (because the Search is shit and doesn't include that in User searches) but I have a feeling our actual #1 poster in that regard is @Yuritopiaposadism@hexbear.net with almost 12k posts - truly the only user on this site that actually keeps the front page alive I salute you rat-salute-2
