I mean Chicago is pretty darn gay and loud about it if you ask me. Hell there's at least 3 predominantly lgbt neighborhoods and Chicagoans aren't afraid to speak up either, so I'd say it's feasible this could have happened.

Damn this blew up! (I removed the comments with the really annoying/over-the-top emotes. )

I will say, emote sizes don't seem to scale properly on different lemmy instances; for example, lemmygrad emotes here are super huge whereas I've seen lemmygrad folks say hexbear emotes are huge.

I wonder if that's a genuine lemmy federation issue

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Great context. Yeah it would almost be a non-issue if they scaled (personal taste aside)

Some of them were taking up like 60% of the screen, and that's just not fun.

Hexbear devs are planning to fix this

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Yeah, boo; if there's not already a git issue might be worth opening up. On our side the emotes are very reasonably sized.

Nah this is uber believable, gay bitches are like this in real life esp if someone's being homophobic
