I read a few threads complaining about hexbear and was surprised to find myself agreeing with a lot of the hexbear users replies.... so now I'm here too 😊
The great tradition, I followed it myself back when reddit was hyperventilating over something called Chapo Trap House
Welcome
"Go back to chapotraphouse" they told me.
"What is a chapotraphouse?" I asked.
"You sound like one of those weirdos"
"Shit, looks like I am one!"
This is the chapo way. Even if everyone defederates from us, we're still the 
and we'll get tons of growth just from libs talking about us in hushed whispers
They always try to demonize us but it doesn't work. Its not like 4chan where you go there and you're immediately horrified.
You come here and people are like "look at this cool mushroom" or one user that has been posting swords for 3 years straight and you're like "ok these claims are greatly exaggerated".
Another victim of the tankie mind virus noooo 
Soon you’ll only be able to spell the word cracker as kkkrakkker

Hexbear captures a bit of the wonder of the early days of the internet for me. It's something that was lost in time but has now returned in the year of our lord 2023. Hexbear has quickly become my favorite online community/forum. Its unique culture, including features like 'struggle sessions' about outdoor cats, makes it even more endearing. Additionally, the news megathread is greeeeat.
Yeah, being on Hexbear/Chapo.chat the past few years with various accounts is the first time I've felt that internet community spark I had back when I was on forums with IRC channels.
I mentioned this on one of those "why did you pick your instance" threads right after federation, but it's so true. The whole vibe here really does recapture some of the great parts of the late 90s early 2000s small independent BBS experience that was all but wiped out by Facebook and 
. It's got a kind of coziness and unique culture that I thought was gone from the Internet forever. It's great.
Yep. I think that makes it incredibly off-putting to people who aren't expecting that, but that's why I love this place.
Especially folks who are too young to have been a part of that Internet. It's hard to believe, but this is like what being online was like 25 years ago.

If this is the 4chan of the left then where is my zip file entitled "Dungeons and Dragons rulebooks" but is just gigabytes of dolphin porn?
You mean Savage Species? I guess character options that overpowered are LIKE porn...

Hexbear has extreme posting power and a cohesive site culture like 4chan does, but unlike 4chan, the usersbase isn't made up of weird misanthropes.
most of us aren't misanthropes, but we're definitely weird af lol
i get your drift, tho, this place completely lacks the malicious destruction of any respect for oneself and other human beings that is the hallmark of 4chan
I'm not sure HOW one would be a lefty without having some faith in humanity.
From reading comments of 70s/80s music videos made by the people who worked behind the scenes on them recounting their memories of the process, along with translating foreign social media and seeing how similar shitposters are across the world

So we're like the good twin?
Very few of us have the Evil gene
The only good nazi is in the 
, same goes for transphobes, but I repeat myself. 
And possibly John Rabe.
I take the reformist view that they're good from the moment they start playing the piano
That story is apparently fake, and the picture that goes along with it is just of some Red Army soldiers playing a piano they found.

If you ban transphobes and racists on sight, you're just like 4chan. That's why we should be like the enlightened lib instances and let them be.
Wouldn't leftist 4chan just be leftypol?
Yeah, there’s no porn here
Oh yeah /siberia/ is full of porn.
We really need some good greentext stories though
wow maybe i'll move from lemm.ee to hexbear because that's fuckin BASED
