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?

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.

Hexbear and Lemmygrad are very welcoming and enjoyable spaces. I tend to not like being on social media, and this is the one exception to that now.

I'm selfishly encouraging folks to create more bit accounts I really enjoy them. Juan_Guiado one of the all time best.

I kinda miss Praximus_Prime I know they are still active on reddit but I wish they posted here more often.

Hexbear is a hell of a lot more based than the old /r/chapotraphouse ever was, you're all spitting fire 🌋

I'm very tempted to make an account on this instance too, much easier to just open the Local feed that way.

If Michael Fassbender isn’t a leftist, we can pull him left by his hog.
