This is one of the exactly 7 uses of a fax machine, I know, I have to fax shit all the time.

Ah I was just joking. The only known uses of a fax at this point are to send crap to DHS, social security, or to send medical records. That’s it. The beaureaucrats won’t let it die!!

I appreciate that a lot and am blown away by the effort people have put into this thread. I find it to be pretty classist to just tell people to “read a book”. Certainly it makes sense if you feel like someone is interested totally trying to play devils advocate/suck emotional labor out of you but I have definitely seen it in response to more well meaning questions.

That’s so much cooler! All correspondence should be transferred via pneumatic tube. They would obviously make super satisfying shoomp noises you just can’t get with a boring ol fax machine

I am but a new lil’ guy. I’ve bounced around on beehaw (jumped that libship posthaste), lemmy.ml and lemm.ee for a couple of months now to see what feels right and wanted to check out the hexbear. Good so far, lemmy.ml was a bit too techy for my liking and soooo inundated with users. Lemmy.ml and lemm.ee were also too lib for me. I just gotta subscribe to some other non political communities to even my experience out and I think I’d like to call this instance home 🥺

Really want to thank a lot of the users who have put so much time, energy and thoughtfulness into answering some pretty basic questions about communism. It’s been rad to lurk and learn and just observe how chill and friendly the vibe has been. Also stoked for emojis

PS I also typo like a madman so I apologize in advance

If you know about how they work lay that knowledge on me, I’m actually super curious now. I got to see one in action at the drive thru lane for my bank once and witnessing thay was the most excited I’d been in a long time.

Yeah, for the most part it’s been super refreshing instead of things devolving to slapfights like on reddit. Which I’ve seen more of with the second wave of redditors to lemmy but even then it’s such a more productive space, I feel
