I also don’t see how the first statement is problematic. To me it reads like they are encouraging their users to act with civility on other instances and keep the regular Hexbear stuff “to Hexbear itself”. The statement explicitly tells users to instead debate users in other instances using citations. From where I’m at, this seems like the best way to go about ideological disagreements in the first place; it’s certainly not a reason to defederate.

I agree. Right now the idea of a web app is cool, but it doesn’t really work all that well for me (scrolling up too quickly causes problems when the page thinks you want to refresh, and I like most of my apps to be in the drawer, not my home page, for instance).

That’s about all I’ve seen too. I’m currently using Liftoff as you say. I’ve tried just about everything else, but this comes closest to fulfilling the use-case I had for Boost.

I’m sorry bro cause I gotta hide this cause it’s so bad but I appreciate the glimpse into what that place looks like

Like others I’m wondering why not cloudflare?

This was my first flex-nib also (though I had the V1 from some years ago) and also really disliked it, but not for the same reasons as you. I found the general construction to be fairly cheap and I had fear to break it. I still have that pen, but I never ever use it.

After some years of writing with fountain pens (Lamy mostly), I ended up buying a Namiki Falcon (called Pilot now, I think) with a soft gold F nib that has some really decent flex to it. I find it to be nice and bouncy without being too soft, and the line variation is great enough to appreciate. The quality is far and away the best I have in my own collection to date.
