Political Compass Memes
You've read it right, flairs are finally here. No longer will you have to endure cringe and based opinions alike, in a vast and boring sea of flairlessness. No longer will you have to actually read someone's take, to be able to judge them. I bring you... THE FUNNI COLOURS.
@Atalocke@lemmy.basedcount.com and I have been hard at work on this feature for the last couple months and we're so glad to finally see it live. There is, however, an asterisk.
For the time being, only users from our instance (lemmy.basedcount.com) can see and set user flairs, as this feature doesn't propagate through federation. As such, users from other instances (less than half of the !pcm@lemmy.basedcount.com userbase) won't notice any changes. My next project will be bringing support for user flairs to other instances through a browser extension, but that'll probably take me some time.
Of course, if you want the full PCM experience™️ you can always open an account here (wink wink).
In the meantime, enjoy your funni colours, pcm. Stay based and flair the fuck up.

Context
As you probably now, Hexbear is a fairly large leftist instance, whose users are notorious for being very loud in the communities of every instance they federate with. For a long time they blocked all instances, preferring to remain isolated. Recently, however, they have started allowing some large instances into their allow list.
Yesterday they expanded said list by including the popular sh.itjust.works (SJW) instance.
Some Hexbear users immediately jumped on the train by creating posts in !main@sh.itjust.works making sure everyone was aware of their presence and calling out what they thought was bigotry on SJW's side:
- Example 1
- Example 2, the post included in the meme, now removed
Currently, there's people on both sides calling for mutual defederation, as one Hexbear sees the other party as "bigoted" and "politically illiterate infants" while many people on SJW are just tired of the political spam.
Where do we stand in this mess? Comfortably on the sidelines, enjoying the popcorn while it lasts.
Unlike a certain platform with an orange logo, we aren't keen on sheltering pedophiles. During your stay on Based Count, feel free to make as many wood chipper jokes as you deem necessary.
First fresh post made for this Lemmy! Credits to @favrion for the initial idea. Adapted it from chocolate bars to popular candy since Skittles felt like the perfect inclusion for LibLeft. The rest followed.
Apologies for the lower quality compared to the other posts- made this using MS Paint on my work laptop instead of Photoshop on my home desktop like I usually do.

Both trump and pence swore up and down that there would be very serious consequences to saudi arabia for the murder of jamal Khashogi.
Pence, where were the consequences? did you pull military support from them? why is saudi arabia still our single largest U.S. Foreign Military Sales customer?
