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?

My only regret is that I wasn’t here sooner! I missed the CTH discord but now I’m glad to be back in the same boat

Is there any generic "intro to Hexbear" post somewhere that I can point other people to when explaining what Hexbear is?

I think there are a lot of people on Lemmy who would fundamentally agree with most of the values held by Hexbear users, but they never give it a chance because of some bad first impression (either they are told by others that Hexbear users are all just trolls, or maybe they even get called a fascist or something like that by somebody with @hexbear in their name).

Would be great if there was some better intro. Does such a thing exist already? I tried searching but did not find anything.

seconding you go to c/askchapo. the gist of it though is that if we smell a hint of reaction in anything you say, the knives, guns, and attack owls come out. otherwise hexbear is kinda very cuddly and a great place for lgbt users, it has some of the most heavy-handed anti-queerphobe moderation ive ever seen on an online space, it mimics the more radical elements of an irl pride event very well. well over 50% of the mod and admin team are queer of some kind at this point and a good number are trans (me included, i mod c/traa). the mod team also takes nsfw tags and content tags for handling violence against women more serious than any space ive seen on the internet outside of maybe news sites that have the default shocking content label.

I’ve been a lurker since before Reddit banned the old sub; the federation inspired me to finally make an account. This website is such a relief to have honestly, so much of just existing in this world is being inundated with liberalism/fascism. I especially love how trans and queer positive it is.

I love my trans comrades!! hexbear-trans cat-trans

We love our trans comrades, folks!
