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’ve been on Lemmy.world for a month. I’ve wanted to see this place and Genzedong.

Can I ask, who is plekhanov?

One of the major founders of the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party, which was the precursor of the Communist Party of Russia, Georgii Plekhanov led a life-long struggle alongside his comrades in growing the class consciousness of the workers and peasants of the Russian Empire. He supported the Bolsheviks over the Mensheviks and was a respected figure of authority by Lenin - even though they had disagreements - and the Communists.

While I'm not acquainted with any of his works nor knowledgeable on his biography, I do know that he had his good moments in history and his not so good moments in history, and that's okay.
