Maybe it is more than an instance. Maybe it is an idea, a world-historical vanguard, light itself. planet-hillary

actual attempt to answer (cringe)We’ve been around for three years on a lemmy fork before federation. The lack of federation for years as well as the place we splintered off from (/r/chapotraphouse) already having a unique microculture within Reddit has given this instance, in my opinion, a distinct culture compared to general-purpose and even other hobbyist instances.

Regarding specifics, Hexbear is a vehemently queer-friendly/intersectional anti-sectarian socialist instance. Check us out meow-bounce lea-bounce

I'm on lemmy far too much. I've noticed that exactly zero people from this instance has ever tried to argue with me or make any dumbass "actually" comments picking apart something I've said for no reason.

I've also gotten into multiple conversations with people here that cracked me up and made my night.

Thumbs up

Fine. You convinced me.
Oh look, the emotes aren't ten stories high over here!

If you ever wish for that, make sure to leave a comment bashing China! We'll make sure to get some feral hogs in that inbox STAT.

Hexbear is great because they let me be weird and I appreciate it meow-hug

[-] PM_ME_YOUR_FOUCAULTS@hexbear.net 67 points 1 year ago

It was great when you joined and immediately brought an extremely powerful and specific energy to the site

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 72 points 1 year ago

I think my first post was me complaining about being covered in centipedes followed by a post of a skeleton complaining that the centipedes won

Not sure what to call that energy lol

You're pretty great. Can't imagine this place without you. But to be honest, that's how I feel about most of us.

Every time Hexbear isn’t on the Lemmy front page, other instances should be asking “I wonder where Hexbear is?”

[-] BynarsAreOk@hexbear.net 61 points 1 year ago

Rent free, just as mao-clap intended.

[-] PorkrollPosadist@hexbear.net 48 points 1 year ago

Whenever Hexbear isn't on your screen, users should be asking "Where's Hexbear?"

Rotating a dope as bear through five dimensions in my mind.

Hexbear is a billion times better than the general population about vegan and covid conscious stuff. I can't forget this. Everyone always harps on this place being safe for queer people. But I can't get over the number of left spaces that fell apart because the admins needed "vegan hate stirring #4 this week".

Hexbear is the fertile soil turned by the plow, the last kiss from a lover, the dawn that is promised but never comes

It is the blood spilled by an honest man, the ringing of a bell just before it fades to silence

This is Hexbear

If hexbear has a million posters, then I am one of them. If hexbear has ten posters, then I am one of them. If hexbear has only one poster then that is me. If hexbear has no posters, then that means I am no longer on earth. If the world is against hexbear, then I am against the world.

Post hog

Incredible posting powers are bestowed upon those who swear by the volcel pledge.

While incels are watching Andrew Tate and complaining about how women don't like nice guys, we study the blade

While noncels are consenting to intercourse, we politely decline to dedicate the time and effort to shitpost on a fringe online forum.

So much time wasted trying & failing to get laid, or succeeding in getting laid. Meanwhile we're having 200+ comment threads on who would win in Super Smash Bros. Melee if Enver Hoxha played against Amadeo Bordiga.

I like that the bear is hexagonal. And it's good to have a friendly instance where we can safely celebrate the legacy of Hillary Clinton, the real president of the United States.

[-] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 49 points 1 year ago

No, it's a podcast about media, PR, and the power of bullshit

[-] JuryNullification@hexbear.net 39 points 1 year ago

It’s currently a podcast about the US’s war in Iraq.
