    Tagging on this comment so people can see. HC is not exploding heads remastered lol idk why you ppl are obsessed with wanting it to be. I guess y’all are hard pressed on wanting an enemy or something? And that’s what I don’t understand.

    I’m jumping in here to pretty much explain what HC is and why it was created. (Alice site admin here)

    Let’s clear a few things up about HilariousChaosHC.

    I know some of you are under the impression that Hilarious Chaos is somehow tied to Exploding Heads. It’s not. It never was. And it never will be. I’m sorry to disappoint you if that’s what you were hoping for, but it’s just not true.

    Hilarious Chaos actually started as a WordPress site—a space for me to share the silly, ridiculous videos I make. The move to Lemmy happened for one simple reason: Lemmy has mobile apps, and I prefer using Android apps over websites. WordPress doesn’t have an Android app that works the way I want it to, so we migrated.

    If any of you took five seconds to browse our communities, you’d see what Hilarious Chaos is really about:

    Sloth Me

    Christie’s Perspective

    Governor Chris Christie’s Solo Videos

    Farts and Poop

    Shitty Ass Hilarious Chaos

    Random Shit - Stock Talk Videos

    One on One

    The Delicate Daisy Den

    What do all of those have in common? Pure silliness. This instance wasn’t created for political tribalism. It was created as a playground for my bizarre humor.

    As we federated, people started projecting onto us—spreading this weird narrative that we’re somehow the reincarnation of Exploding Heads. We’re not. Exploding Heads is gone. Its not coming back. Move on.

    Now, if we’re being really honest here, a lot of this drama comes down to one thing: Hilarious Chaos allows conservative content. We don’t allow Nazis. We don’t allow hate speech. But yes—we allow conservatives to post and speak like everyone else. And that rubs some of you the wrong way. So instead of being upfront and saying, “I don’t like that this instance allows conservatives,” you spin these false narratives.

    If you’re gonna criticize, at least be honest about what you’re mad about.

      If you’re gonna criticize, at least be honest about what you’re mad about.

      I think about 80-90% of the criticisms here are, very openly and honestly, because of the “conservative” content on HC. Personally, I noted the relationship between the two, but I honestly don’t give too much of a shit what the instance used to be or what it is called now.

      I tried at quite a bit of length to explain to splinter what the issue was. Conservative viewpoints are allowed. I guess. Although they’re obviously unpopular, no one will stop you from making a community full of “Stephen Miller’s immigration policies are a really good idea” and “Trump negotiated cease-fires in Gaza and Ukraine, what a wonderful job he is doing.” What you guys are asking for is:

      • To be able to provide a safe space for those things, and correspondingly for people who have been ejected from other forums because their interpersonal behavior on Lemmy is about as gross as you’d expect from a person who believes those things. Which means inevitably your instance is going to be pretty much only that aside from your own content.
      • To also be popular

      That’s not going to happen. Innocent people are getting snatched up and getting shipped to turbo-prison to stay for life for no reason at all. Pretty soon if things continue they’re going to be dying and US citizens are going to be included in the ones getting snatched (more so than they are already). If you’re okay providing a platform for the people doing that, including for deliberate professionally-crafted lies that are trying to smokescreen the whole operation so that it can continue without reasonable people rising up to put a stop to it, people are going to get disgusted by you. If you’re okay with that, cool. If not, but you’re still doing those things, I’m not sure what to tell you.

      Hilarious Chaos allows conservative content.

      Assuming you mean american conservativism then seems like the criticism is justified.

      I’ve literally messaged you about Nazi content on your instance and you ignored me. Nice fucking try.

      You’re right on most of that, but the few conservatives flood the news and politcs communities there.

      Avoiding a few other ones, the instance is fine.

          Don’t forget that they’re also one of the few remaining instances that let ban-evading trolls create alt characters and pretend to be someone else without question.

            I wouldn’t know. I’m not obsessed with trying to figure out if people have alts, but as far as I know, I’ve never come across that there.

              Even though there’s evidence to prove you’re ban evading?

              Or wait…. Was Universal Monk banned from this instance? Someone should look into that.

                There is no evidence to prove that I’m ban evading. Because I’m not.

                Or wait…. Was Universal Monk banned from this instance? Someone should look into that.

                A quick search of his name shows that he’s actually on this instance, so he’s not banned from this instance anyway. So not only am I not ban evading because I’m not him; it wouldn’t be ban evading even if I were him.

                Also, I’m not the subject of OP’s post, and I’m not the mod who banned OP.

                  Perhaps the admins/mods here would want to talk to the mod team at /Politics, and perhaps they don’t care. Either way, everyone knows who you are.

                  Let’s take a look:

                  Your BarryGoldwater alt was created on the exact same day as the one you’re using now, you both post in the exact same communities- saying the exact shame shit, about the exact same shit. The communities you post in? Amazingly and totally coincidentally run by either your Universal Monk account, or your DJM account!

                  Imagine that!

                  The banner art used on several of your alt’s all come from the same place, the shit-tier writing style in the description is the same shit-tier pseudo-intellectual rhetoric Universal Munk used to spew, and speaking of what Universal Monk used to spew…

                  You were flat-out busted quoting something word-for-word that was said by Universal Monk several months ago on /Politics.

                  All one has to do is just ask the mods there.

                  And if you’ve forgotten, I’m the one you PM’d with threats and personal attacks that finally got you banned from LW.

                    I’ve never threatened you with a PM or in any other way, and I’m not banned from LW (that I know of because it’s a toxic instance and I rarely post there).

                    And I’m not the subject of OP’s post and I’m not the mod who banned him.

                    I am reporting you now, because you’ve went to far by saying I have threatened you, and it appears you’re just trying to get into a slapfighting contest.

                    Please stop accusing me of stuff, and please leave me alone.
