Hexbear has been getting a lot more attention and activity as of late, and while it is very fun to dunk on the new people posting on the site in bad faith, a post to appreciate the new good faith users contributing to the site seems like a great idea.

So, what new users do you appreciate, and what should other potential new users do to get the same reception?

I don’t get defederating unless you _want_an echo chamber. I like hearing from liberals, and conservatives, it makes me question my beliefs. I don’t want us all to think the same. That’s boring.

They call leftist spaces the "echo chambers," yet they are the ones rushing to shut up opinions they don't agree with by defederating. Kind of funny.

So when you guys say leftist, you mean communist right?

[-] GreatWhiteNope@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

Hexbear tries to be anti-sectarian, so I think the general definition of leftist here would be anti-capitalist.

The user base probably leans more ML/communist than anarchist, though.
