It's going to be great. The picture of Trump look at Elon with contempt when King Bazinga was jumping up and down for X was the funniest thing from the whole election.

I see he did not survive the purge. sans-shrug

[–] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 25 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Nah, he deleted his own account for opsec reasons or maybe he just wanted to spend less time online.

[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 8 points 3 days ago

Ah, seems like alot of that going around.

I see he did not survive the purge.

I don't think that's correct. I heard Ulysses logged off again but more permanently to help build communism. He did it himself.

[–] MohammedTheCommunistPalestinian@hexbear.net 12 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Why ?

They were cool 😢

[–] CantaloupeAss@hexbear.net 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Some people were banned for shitty behavior, but UlyssesT left at least a day before all that happened, simply because he wanted to spend his time doing other things

[–] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, his reversion back to extremely-online made me scratch my head.

[–] CantaloupeAss@hexbear.net 4 points 3 days ago

The internet is an addictive substance

[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Eh, I'm impartial. He pissed off a few people I know though. I won't say more.

[–] MohammedTheCommunistPalestinian@hexbear.net 5 points 3 days ago

did something happen when I was studying for my finals ?

[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 7 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Struggle session got a lil crazy, bunch of people got banned/deleted accounts/decided to take a break because it was a shitshow.

Edit: shitty wifi causing message duplications because I think it doesn't process but it does

[–] MohammedTheCommunistPalestinian@hexbear.net 8 points 3 days ago (2 children)

bunch of people got banned

why though ? did they break the rules ? ,what caused this ? was it the US Elections ? ,were they being libs about the results ?

sorry if I am asking too many questions but I am pretty confused ,I hope I am not breaking the rules

Also I have been here for 6 months or more and I still don't understand what does Struggle session mean ,English is not my first language and this particular phrase I have only ever seen it used by HexeBear (love you all)

[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Most of the answers can be found on main, but the main catalyst was the dredge/dunk tank being pulled without any input from the community beforehand.

[–] MohammedTheCommunistPalestinian@hexbear.net 10 points 3 days ago (2 children)

thanks for answering ma'am , I was kinda sad they were removed but it's not worth getting banned over especially if it's true that the name for one of them has a racist origin ,have a good day comrade ,I am off to study for my finals (hope the mossad doesn't get me)

[–] bunnygirl@hexbear.net 8 points 3 days ago

I've only been partially paying attention, but I don't think anybody was really mad about the name changes themselves, mostly the implied rule changes and the way it was handled without community input.

From what I've seen, most of the bans were pretty dumb and shallow, and those have basically all been reversed

Also struggle session is a term that comes from the Chinese revolution, but it really just means 'an argument' (as in, people are arguing) here

Good luck with your exams comrade o7

[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 3 points 3 days ago

Good luck in your studies, also it seems Ulysses decided to purge himself. Idk what his reasoning was though.

[–] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It's used slightly differently from the origin of the term, for the past decade it's been used especially by the online left (semi-ironically?) to refer to a very drawn-out and public fight within a party, especially over doctrine.

[–] MohammedTheCommunistPalestinian@hexbear.net 5 points 3 days ago

thanks comrade

[–] GVAGUY3@hexbear.net 26 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Probably, but I don't think it will last long

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 26 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I feel like as soon as their personalities clash trump drops him.

[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 27 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Elon cant take the hit to his ego, and becomes a democrat

lathe-of-heaven

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 24 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Democrats move to the right next election to try to court Elon and also as a result of his meddling. Democrats lose all but three seats to the next Republican nominee, a man who claims to literally be the reincarnation of Hitler. Liberals blame leftists.

If he actually does, shouldn't the government step in to separate a government official from Twitter?

Who am I kidding, they won't do shit.

[–] CarmineCatboy2@hexbear.net 7 points 3 days ago

all elon has to do is appoint employees as proxies/trustees. same thing with trump

[–] Redcuban1959@hexbear.net 11 points 3 days ago

Elon (and his family) used to be a Obama/Biden libs, then in 2022 he decided to go full redditor chud pretending to be nostalgic for the 1990's (Elon is 50 years old btw). I think Trump 100% fucking hates Elon and will call him a slur and kick him out for Republican Ghoul #69 (le epic funni number elon likes)

[–] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 6 points 3 days ago

Trump will make him literally get on his knees and beg, then 2 years in they'll have a rift and he'll be out. SpaceX and Tesla will still have abominable levels of government funding though.
