New account but I've been using burner accounts and lurking since the sub got banned. I've been seeing all the standard liberal brainworms again for the first time since 
and everytime it's an account from another federation. I was tepidly against federation at first but this has been entertaining, like the old days of 
people who wandered into the sub.
I gotta imagine this will only last another week before everyone defederates us, but let's enjoy it for now.
Hello. I was pretty regular user of the original sub before it closed down. I avoided moving to Hexbear because I didn't like the interface.
I've seen several people mention a similar thing about being on the old sub, and are now glad to reconnect with a big chunk of that community. If for no other reason, I think it's awesome that federation has brought about a small kind of reunion of comrades.
Re-integration of the Chapo diaspora.
