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.

I am but a new lil' guy. I've bounced around on beehaw (jumped that libship posthaste), lemmy.ml and lemm.ee for a couple of months now to see what feels right and wanted to check out the hexbear.
