On this day, 4 years ago the site was first launched (then a day later the first post made), Formed from chapotraphouse remnants, the old admins decided to make a site using Lemmy as its base. Originally called chapo.chat, Hexbear has grown into one of the biggest instances in the lemmyverse.
Despite various sitewide struggle sessions, wrecker incursions from other forums and federation drama, Hexbear has keep growing strong in its 4th year, now with 4 megathreads, over 4 million comments, 300k posts and much more.
Its being great running the general megathread for a bit over 3 years, since i took over i have tried to get it mostly in time and just one unlike during the old times, i like to think i have done a decent job, plus i have also added a bit of reading material to them so you nerds can learn from them and i like to think you have been reading them 
, its also nice to see the new megathreads how they have slowing grown up to the size to the old general mega in the time of the old admins.

What's the hetero-grindr these days? I've tried tinder after many years absence and it's just full of "not looking for a hookup" long-term-relationship seekers. I'm just looking for friendly NSA fun during an expected overnight layover at a nice Toronto hotel thursday into friday.
Also, assuming I can't find a partner, what's some reasonably-safe-solo actually-legal debauchery I can find? Any reputable strip clubs somewhere uber-able from the Chelsea Hotel maybe? I could always do the grindr thing or the Spa Excess thing but I feel the urge to indulge the straight side of my bi-ness sometimes. I'll be sober that night regardless.
tinder is kinda the niche-less dumping ground dating app where you can find a bit of everything these days. maybe feeld? it's not strictly a hookup app (and certainly not strictly hetero there's a lotta queer peeps) but more poly and kink oriented which seems to naturally attract more people who are down with "just" sex. i always hated it b/c i found it kinda sleezy but ive never been much of a hookup w/o a connection guy.
Thanks, feeld seems pretty much exactly what I'm looking for! As a nice bonus the prevailing politics of Toronto-based users is "hexbear but horny". Err, hornier.
happy 2 help. critical support 2 horny.
If the volcel police try to arrest me, I won't come quietly!
