I just went looking for something similar after getting into battletech. I know thats too niche for fedi but I was hoping to find a comm for minis/painting/wargaming or similar catchall.

The second “hexbear is anti trans” comment I’ve seen in this thread

I spent a lot of time on hexbear over the last year because I had never run into tankies before. They are definitely problematic, way too ok with killing humans to achieve goals, and willing to lie to win a debate in an ends justify the means sort of way, but they arent anti trans in any way that I saw. If they are lying about their pro trans stance they are putting a ton of effort into it and theyve succesfully tricked me I guess

Hexbear blocked you for being pro trans? I find that hard to believe.

I disagree with them on a lot but they are a very pro trans group of people

I think a snickers is a great example and you’re foolish for questioning it

I mean if everyone did that it would work. Obviously not realistic but if we thought a bit more collectively as a species we could do wonderful things.

What a boot licking article

Cheers to the bolt cutters

No? I didn’t forget anything. There were things I liked about cable - but the ads and the not being able to watch what you wanted sucked.

Something like tv channels, but with no ads and you can go pick and watch what you want like you always have sounds great. There’s a reason there are so many tutorials to set up that experience on services like plex or jellyfin.

And you can say we are going to slippery slope ourselves up to $300 but people are getting better at saying no to higher prices, look at game pass or doritos for two recent big examples

This just feels like netflix giving users something they have been asking for forever and everyone is making the same OMG THEY REINVENTED CABLE LMAOZ comment and I wanted to point out the other side.

Ok but I’ve wanted this forever

Everyone knows the joke about spending an hour looking for something to watch, this could be great for discovery

Now if these services would just let us shuffle episodes…

(I know I know jellyfin/ whatever would be better but I’m broke and $10 a month for a shared account is easier than buying the server equipment right now)

Yes

Probably some form of drop shipping.

Maybe lawn care? You’d definitely need a loan to buy your equipment but if you can find customers you could pay it back pretty quick and grow from there.

knockoff seems like a stretch
