They’ve been editing him a lot too, comparing your bottle with the OP photo they removed half his cape and slimmed up his legs… for whatever reason they’re trying to reduce complexity and bulk overall. Maybe make him less “larger than life” and associated “toxic masculinity / XTREME” 90s-00s imagery going back to what, ya know, actual wrestlers and pirates and stuff would’ve looked like (minus the business collar)

Where does blahaj say they have no quarter for hexbear users (I see lemmygrad users, but not hexbear) and how is being okay with trans people but personally preferring boobs over penises “chaser” behavior? Why is screenshotting relevant DMs between admins defed-worthy? Is removing heated political conversations ableist? (I see the “X-tard” part of the screenshot, but 80% of the screenshot looks like a communist getting mad and borderline ad hominem, beyond any point about using appropriate language.)

I’m a leftist and all for the Fediverse being able to choose who to federate with, but often the receipts posted by Fedi admins seem incredibly weak. Absolutely protect marginalized people with your full strength and might, but it seems like the people most directly hurt here are the hexbear admin themself. But I don’t know, I’m just a random nobody, all I can see are the receipts the admin shows me 🤷

Yeah I’d really hope that the upgrades pave the way for even higher potential speeds, like if the limiting factor is now old Amtrak trainsets instead of the rail itself. Or if a new line means less delays. 20 minutes out of 5 hours is really not much.
